The figurines from The Wall, which we reported on some months ago, can now be ordered from TheWallDirect.com.

They said: "These stunning, statuesque figures measure 6" to 8" each and are available from thewalldirect.com in a giant, limited collector's edition boxed set that includes a sixth figure not available individually!

Each maquette comes with its own section of the Wall, and the wall sections interlock to form a truly amazing display piece nearly 3 feet long."
