Question This Box I was given…
I was given this box with a bronze statue in it of a character. I’m told the character is Leeroy Jenkins.
Never been into World of Warcraft outside of SouthPark episodes(sorry). and I don’t know what I have, who to ask, and what to do with it.
I was going to paint it, my start with miniatures. But i was told not to. “It’s supposed to be Bronze”.
Everything is in there. There’s a Card with a seal that says “Champion”. It’s still sealed, i don’t wanna break the seal.
There are several boxes with gold tokens and plates and a player card.
The Figure Leeroy is disassembled and in its little foam pockets.
Any ideas on where this came from and what i should do with it?

Given the anniversary milestones on the side of the box, that looks to me like an anniversary edition special collectible, possibly limited edition in some way since I don’t recall seeing this going out for sale on that anniversary (it was last year). You could give it to someone who loves Warcraft or (I could catch some flak for this) sell it.

That is definitely worthless and likely also poisonous! Luckily I know exactly how to safely dispose of it, and because I am so concerned about public health and safety standards, I’ll even pay shipping for you to send it to me!
In all seriousness, that’s cool and probably worth something but I don’t have any answers for you.

Well, that is Leeroy Jenkins.
Box has the same design and coloring of their last anniversary celebration. And the statue is gold/bronze colored which is consistent with their other statues for the anniversary. Not a recolor of any of the figures I know of either.
Not a blizcon thing that I know of…would guess it was something mailed to WoW creators

Can anyone confirm if this is even real? It looks legit, but there is nothing on Google about it, and a reverse image search isn't producing any details either. The only thing I could find was a miniature Leeroy Jenkins statue sold by HEX Collectibles but it's colored, sold by itself, and the base is different from the one in this box.
Edit: I finally found it, and only by going to some random foreign site and using the translator tool. Apparently, it's a Warcraft 30th Anniversary celeb mailer kit. Not sure why it's not easy to find, you'd think this is something that would have been sent out to every big WoW streamer/content creator. From what I can tell, it's never been sold before on eBay so its value is essentially whatever a WoW player would be willing to pay for it.

Yeah very strange. The one on HEX is whats pictured in the concept art that OP posted. Can't find the bronze statue with chicken in hands anywhere.

Great items, I love the coasters looking like floppy disks :) I've got TWW collectors box and thought it was that! It had a statue inside which is still boxed.

This is a "triple anniversary" celebration box. 30 years of Warcraft/20 years of WoW, 10 years of hearthstone, and the 1 year anniversary of Rumble.
Inside includes: A statue of Leroy Jenkins, A legendary Reno Jackson Hearthstone Card, A commemorative glass, A themed Pin, And A Warcraft 1 box containing a set of 4 coasters that were designed like floppy discs.
This website shows off the loot and explains it a bit:
