Blizzardâs sphere of influence knows no bounds as Swedish health care and beauty company Oriflameâs recent Russian shampoo menâs fragrance ad confirms. See if you can spot the World of Warcraft influence.
If your memory is hazy, Blizzardâs epic frosty trailer for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion is embedded below. As egear points out, Russian figure skater Evgeni Plushenko does a pretty flamboyant version of Arthas in the Glacier Ice perfume-shilling spot, much shorter than its World of Warcraft influence.
Sure, freeing a giant bottle of cologne from its icy tomb with your dainty skate blade isnât exactly the same as unleashing a dragon skeleton with the aide of Frostmourne, but I think youâll see the similarities.
A few shot-to-shot comparisons capped by egear might drive the point home.
World of Warcraft, for one, welcomes its new russian batman overlord. [egear â thanks, apismenny!]
