StarCraft action figures from JOYTOY are coming. Here are all the details for Terran, Zerg, and Protoss, and what RTS fans can expect.
JOYTOY getting the StarCraft license is the kind of hobby news that makes you look at your shelf, look at your wallet, and immediately start negotiating with both.
Small-scale, “about ten cm” (or four inches) StarCraft action figures mean we are finally in the sweet spot where you can build a whole little battlefield without needing a second mortgage or a second room.
And since the announcement leans hard into Terran armor textures, Zerg biological detail, and Protoss energy weapons, the real question becomes simple: which characters deserve the first wave? Let’s talk about the five models we want to see first!
The Announcement: JOYTOY x StarCraft Is Official
JOYTOY has officially announced it has the Blizzard Entertainment license and is launching a line of small-scale StarCraft action figures based on characters from the classic game. The stated goal is clear: bring each faction’s identity to life at roughly ten cm scale, with:
- Terran: that chunky, metallic power armor look
- Zerg: creepy, organic biological detail
- Protoss: sleek tech with glowing energy armaments
They also teased that more product info and pre-order schedules are coming soon, so hopefully, we don’t have to wait a year to hear more.
What StarCraft Action Figures People Want to See
When a new licensed line drops, you want the first wave of Starcraft Action figures to do two things:
- Screams, “this is StarCraft” from across the room
- Cover the three factions fast, so nobody feels left out
When you’re planning purchases for a new collectible line, pick one “must-have” character per faction first. That way, you get variety on the shelf, and you dodge the trap of accidentally building a mono-faction pile before wave two even exists.
Here are the five characters and units fans always circle back to because they hit that iconic sweet spot.
Our Top Five StarCraft Action Figures Wishlist
- Jim Raynor (Terran)
Still, the easiest “this is StarCraft” character pick. Icon status, great shelf presence, and he pairs perfectly with basically any future Terran release. - Kerrigan, Queen of Blades (Zerg)
The Zerg headliner. If they nail the organic detailing and the pose, she is the figure people buy, even if they never touched the Zerg campaign. - Terran Siege Tank (Terran)
This is the Terran flex piece. A Siege Tank brings instant battlefield energy, and at a small scale, it has all the juicy hobby hooks: panel lines, weathering potential, hazard stripes, and that chunky “industrial murder machine” silhouette. - Protoss Zealot (Protoss)
The cleanest way to show off Protoss energy weapons. If the psi blades look sharp and the stance feels aggressive, the Zealot will carry the Protoss side of the display all by itself. - Zerg Hydralisk (Zerg)
A perfect “army builder” monster. Spines, menace, and an instantly recognizable silhouette. Also, it is a great test of how well JOYTOY handles biological texture at this scale
Final Thoughts On JOYTOY Making StarCraft Figures
The best part of this JOYTOY x StarCraft announcement is that it sounds like they understand the assignment: Terran should feel heavy and metallic, Zerg should feel alive and unsettling, and Protoss should look like glowing sci-fi royalty.
If they stick the landing, StarCraft collectible figures at a compact scale could become the kind of line you actually finish, instead of “collecting for two months” and then forgetting them in a drawer.
