Cool thx for the info Grad

Blizzard authenticator? What's that thing for?

The Raynor doll is very good.

[Hamshank]

Yeah, who knows

I must say that the Raynor n00bz is the stupidest looking thing I've seen in a long time. It looks like the designers were drunk and playing too much megaman when they came upon the idea.

If this is evidence of what they do at BlizzCon I'm glad I'm not going. A useless pet for a stupid MMO, a megaman ripoff and a Blizzard Authenticator? I'd be better off with candy.

They're basically Blizz's version of Might Muggs - I'm sure you've seen them. Most of the major comic heroes/villains, Indiana Jones, and SW characters have been made into them. I actually think they're kinda neat - obviously a keepsake and a collector's item.

I find it interesting they put the Horde symbol on Raynor's suit. You'd think they'd appeal to the swarms of Alliance fans.

Now that you mention it, you're right. I might have to rethink my notion. Of course I'm not going to BlizzCon, so it matters little...lol

Authenticators are bound to your Battle.net account for use with WoW and upcoming titles such as SC2 and Diablo 3. It puts a security lock on your B.Net account, and in order to log in you press a button on the authenticator that generates a locking number, which is used in conjunction with your password to log in.

I have one from last years blizzcon, and its actually quite nice. Even if your computer happens to stumble upon a keylogger, the numbers generated through the authenticator prevent anyone from hacking into your account.

Aaaaaw - I actually think that that Raynor figure is pretty incredible. Wish I was going to Blizzcon. :[
