We can't believe it either – Turpster has been let loose on WoW.com to bring you videos from in and around the World of Warcraft! You've heard him on the WoW Insider Show, and now see him on TurpsterVision right here on WoW.com.
So it's Black Friday for a lot of you guys out there -- Happy Thanksgiving for yesterday and yes, my Turkey was awesome thanks for asking! A day for picking up electrical bargains and stopping The Intersect falling into Fulcrum's hands -- I'll be honest, my knowledge of Black Friday stems pretty much directly from episodes of Chuck. I was lucky enough to have my latest purchase come through today and I am super stoked to be able to show you guys, Chen Stormstout!
This guys is many kinds of huge -- some say he looks like a fat Gene Simmons, I don't see that being a bad thing since The Demon is also pretty awesome (though he's no Starchild). Standing over 8" tall and weighing in at 4.5 lbs, this guy is built to impress. The detailing is beyond anything I've seen on my previous DC Unlimited figures.
Enjoy the video and pick one up if you haven't already -- I wonder how much mine is worth now that it's out of the box...
Check out more of Turpster's work, recent work like sites made for a Bristol Garden Landscaper or classic stuff from his WoW parody songs to TV previously on Massively.com, not forgetting everyone's favorite podcast 'The WoW Insider Show' and of course, TurpsterVision right here on WoW.com!

Turpster, your videos are always entertaining. I think it's the accent! Or your enthusiasm for whatever it is you're talking about. I remember seeing your Chef's Hat video months ago, and it was just brimming with sheer awesome, and I'm not exactly sure why. You don't make enough videos. I think I speak for everyone when I say:
MOAR!
Oh yeah, and the Chen Stormstout figurine is pretty cool too.

If you like the accent, try visiting Bristol. It gets old really quickly.

So um, Turp, Wow.com when you giving this one away? I cast my entry now.

That bottle is placed perfectly for "Wangs of Warcraft"

I can't watch it because there is an ANNOYING BUGGED ADVERT in the way covering up the whole video window that won't go away.

Try blowing it up to full screen or watching it won viddler by clicking it.

My question, is why didn't Blizzard bundle Chen with the In-Game Pandaren Monk? True, you could get it without Chen, but it would be a better deal with Chen, not only would you get a in-game Pandaren, but you would also get one for Real Life. Now only if they had one for KT...

Comming as a collector (not of wow figures, but other figures), i suprisingly DONT side with the average collector.
Yeah, when buying something, its nice to get a MISB one, to make sure its new, not played with, not missing anything, etc.
I just dont see where the value goes up that much more for people though keeping them that way.. to me, they are designed to be seen OUT of the box, set up, and properly displayed.

So you guys celebrate thanksgiving in England? Thought it was a north American holiday.
Groth Nov 27th 2009 1:42PM
No, Thanksgiving is not celebrated in England (except for the Americans who live there, and the Canadians, but obviously they celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving,). Turpster is currently in the US though, hence his enjoyment of some turkey.
The only reason we even know it's thanksgiving is because of the pilgrim's event, and all the american blogs!

Turpster I think you should update your haircut. Maybe some Forsaken spikes?
swampsquatch Nov 28th 2009 1:58PM
I guess I haven't seen The T in a while... When did he go from preppy faux hawk to a school boy classic emo cut?
Ronin Nov 27th 2009 1:41PM
"some say he looks like a fat Gene Simmons". Or, just a modern-day Gene Simmons? Whichever, I'll never be able to NOT see Chen as Gene now! Thanks for pointing the likeness out-- NOT. I've never been a KISS fan ;)
Thanks for the vid, if I was into collectibles you would've made a sale with this one!

It took me 2 reads through your comment before I realized you we're talking about Turpster! :)
