If you're an anxious fan waiting for the release of Diablo III, you might be interested to know that "Overthrown," the first premium statue in the game's collectible series, is now available for pre-order from Sideshow Collectibles. The polystone diorama depicts a barbarian wielding dual axes as he stands atop the defeated Diablo.

The prototype of the statue was unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con 2008, so the fact that's it's now available for pre-order after a year and a half in development is big news for collectible fans. Each piece stands 18 inches tall, weighs 15 pounds and is individually painted and numbered. The statue will be available in the fall and costs $299.

While you wait for the release of the diorama, you can download a wallpaper of the barbarian in action. So are you the type of collector who drops $300 on this unique type or memorabilia, or does it cost too much?
