In a nice gesture, Blizzard sent over some goodies to celebrate the launch of Voyage to the Sunken City. If you've been a part of this article series in the past, you know you're about to get bombarded with photos. Don't worry though, I'm not going to make up some cheesy story this time about what everything is for.

As always with these promotional swag articles, I didn't have to share the goodies here, I'm certainly not being paid to do so, but I know people find it cool to see what Blizzard sends out so share I must! 


A Mysterious Bag

After opening the box, a duffel bag can be seen under the flavorful message used to promote the new expansion.

The duffel bag has a nice Hearthstone logo on it and it made of some very premium feeling material. Let's open up that bag!


The bag is Water Resistant which is perfect for meeting up with the Sunken City crew.


A Sunken City Keyart Beach Towel

OMG. Not only do I love it when Blizzard sends over something that gives you a nice backdrop for the rest of your photos, but having something with the Sunken City keyart on it this large is so cool. The towel is very soft with the printed side feeling like microfibre.


A Phone Case Dry Pouch

Sir Finley, Sea Guide really knows how to get us adventurers properly equipped! He understands the necessity that we can't go anywhere without our phones so having a way to safely bring it to the depths is an A+ in my book. Clever Murloc.

I definitely didn't take a photo of my phone using my iPad. I was definitely not that person.
No school performances were interrupted during the photographing of these goodies.


Cup Hand Protectors

If you've got a drink with the temperature of Ragnaros the Firelord, or the chill of Ahune the Frostlord, these are perfect to protect your hands. I'm a big fan of them being made out of recycled plastic from the ocean, that's very on-theme for Voyage to the Sunken City and it's great to see people cleaning up the mess that has been made.

Shoutout to Team Seas who has collected 32.5 million dollars to remove the same amount of pounds of trash from the ocean. To celebrate the Sunken City launch, I've put in a $20 donation.


A Compass

The nondescript box is next and although anyone who has read the heading above already knows what they can expect, the only thing going through my mind when I opened it to find yet another box is the horror that is Twin-fin Fin Twin. Congratulations, Blizzard. This card is terrifying me even out of the game. 

 


Remote Ocean Wave Light Projector

I'm certain Queen Azshara uses one of these to fall asleep at night because, honestly, with all the terror she has created in the world over the years, I don't think even a monster would be able to live with that. Welcome to your new Queen Azshara head-canon.

The light show can be plugged into a media source via an AUX cable so you can play anything you want with the speaker, otherwise, it has some built-in calming music. It also has a handy remote and timer feature so it can turn off when you're sound asleep. The product puts colorful waves up on your ceiling!


Hydralodon Art

A limited edition printing of Hydralodon was a part of the package, though it was in a separate box with very careful padding and not the duffel bag - smart call Finley. This piece from James Ryman will go great with all the Matt Dixon prints I've collected over the years. SO COOL.


Last But Not Least

INTRODUCING THE SPINNING TURBO BUBBLEGUN!

Blizzard, this has to be the most oddball gift I've ever seen - and I love every bit of it! The thematics of this whole package have been on point but when I saw the bubble gun, I nearly lost it. What an awesome item to include! 

It's a bit funny that the packaging says that batteries with not included even though they were very clearly in the box, but I do appreciate the custom packaging that was created for the product.

Of course, you're getting a video of this in action. This is about as effective as my teammates in PUBG.


Even if the community team isn't on speaking terms with me, I appreciate the marketing department for putting together such a great set of on-theme goodies for the expansion. Hopefully we'll get to experience some more goodies together in the future!
