this could be promising

Legendary will bring one of the most popular game series of all-time to the big screen with the live-action feature film, Warcraft. Leading U.S. toymaker JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAKK) has secured the Master Toy license for the highly-anticipated release, which hits theatres in March of 2016. This comprehensive agreement grants JAKKS the rights to manufacture, distribute and market action figures in all scales, basic and feature plush, playsets, role-play items and Halloween costumes and accessories. Based on Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft universe, which includes the acclaimed multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft®, the film is directed by Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code) and stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, and Toby Kebbell.

JAKKS plans to launch its Warcraft product line in early 2016 at retailers nationwide to coincide with the March 11, 2016, release of the feature film

Probably be 6" figures. Which is a shame, as JAKKS' 1:18 figures weren't all that bad. Certainly better than Jazzwares at any rate.

manufacture, distribute and market action figures in all scales

I could see them doing a 1:18 line as well. They have done a bunch in the past and are doing World of Nintendo (although now that TG is in charge who knows... maybe just 31" stuff)

Their 1:18 stuff has been pretty good though.

Probably won't know until SDCC though

That's boilerplate "We got this license" speak.

Possibly, but they do a lot of 1:18 stuff, so I'm hopeful. I mean who doesn't like these :trollface:
