When I first recieved mine in the mail i was like WHOA! AWESOME DETAIL! The other issues that I have had so far is that his thumb pops loose to easily (i'm thinking about supergluing it so i wont lose it) and his hooves are uneven. But other than that he's perfect! Hes also BIG & HEAVY and since his hooves are uneven, don't put him anywhere with glass around, he may fall and break the glass. He has already hit me in the head once. ouch.

This review is from: World of Warcraft Tauren Hunter: Korg Highmountain Figure (Toy)

I went ahead and got the Korg Highmountain figure because I wanted something big and imposing to adorn my shelves, and minotaurs are as good as it comes in my opinion--strong, honorable, intelligent, they've got feelings, they've got muscle, and they have horns.

So being a WarCraft fan I decided it'd be just as appropriate to get a Tauren figure, and that's what I did. It arrived here just a few minutes ago, and after opening it and setting it victoriously on my primary display shelf, my overall rating is four stars for the following reasons:

Pros I've found:
- He's big. And he is imposing. He's also heavy.
- Very well detailed--I'm not a major figurine collector or anything, I got him just because I thought it'd be groovy, and I have to say he's very nicely detailed.
- Removable weapon. By removing the thumb of the left hand, you can insert his boomstick (or any other similarly sized weapon, object, tree trunk--etcetera) into his mighty paw, and replace his thumb to hold the object in place. As one reviewer already mentioned, it does seem to want to pop out, but it hasn't done it to me yet. Just takes some effort in getting everything situated just right so it doesn't want to pop out.
- Big and imposing. Really, I turn my head and look up at the shelf, and he just steals the spotlight. Pretty cool for an action figure.

Cons' I've found
- Static. No, he doesn't shock you--well, actually, his size did shock me--but I mean he doesn't move. There's no adjustable parts on him except for the removable thumb. This surprised me in a way, because I have an Orc Shaman figure by the same makers (I think), and you can rotate his forearms to a degree, allowing for a little bit of custom posing. But here, nope, nothin'.
- Medium Quality Rifle; it certainly isn't the center piece of the display, but I was rather taken aback by the quality of Korg's boomstick/sythe. It's quite light, and has a rather visible seam for me, but oh well. Certainly not too terrible.
- Stability. Now here's where other reviewers have also gotten a little miffed, and I agree with them--Korg is very top heavy. While those strong leg muscles would keep him standing balanced were he real, here they do not, and he has a tendency to want to fall over wherever you put him. I took some black paper and folded it a dozen times, sneakily slipping it under the front of his hooves to make him lean back a little bit instead of forward, and it seems to have solved my problem. Still, I'm sure there are ways balance could have been more properly obtained during production.
- The Stand. By this I mean a black oval-shaped disk with two pegs sticking out of it, onto which Korg is supposed to stand in a threateningly awesome manner. Sadly not for me however, as the pegs are misaligned, and do not properly reach the other hole in Korg's hooves. Poor bloke.
- His mane. Very personal issue for me, really isn't worth mentioning, but the mane on his back looks goofy, sticking out so far and so thick as it is. I think it'd have been cooler if they were finer strands, or if his broad back were without 'em all together. I was thinking of getting some cloak or something for him. Customization, hoorah!

All in all, a very groovy model I'd say. He really is an awesome figure just to have in general I think, and aside from those few minor issues, there's nothing really detracting from the model to the point of abandoning it. If you like minotaurs or Tauren, and are considering getting the figure, I'd say go for it. Just make sure you don't put him too far on the edge of a shelf above your bed, or he'll elbow drop you in your sleep and his sheer weight will probably break your ankle or something, heheh. (I'm just fooling around).

Also, I've given this 'toy' a very high rating for educational value, because I'm a weightlifter, and Korg here promotes physical fitness. Hoorah.

First off let me start by say that this bad boy is very HEAVY! For a figurine this guy has some real weight to him. Love his detail, everything is perfect about him. Sadly the stand he comes with isn't very durable. It wasn't made to hold a figurine that has some real weight to it. It would hold any of the other Warcraft figures perfectly, but Korg is way too heavy. They should have made a decent stand in base like they do with some of the Spawn figures. He can stand on his own on a flat surface so long as there isn't any vibrations of any kind. We had him on a shelf that we thought was fine. Our mail box is on the other side of the wall (we live in an apartment complex), and when the mail lady closed the mail box the next day he fell over. If you have the skill to make a new stand, or a steady place to put him, I would strongly suggest it. Either way, if your a fan of Warcraft and you want this bad boy, then by all means GET HIM!
