Jons_Ghost

I buy 1/6 scale horse and rider statues from Weta for around that price.... no idea how big this is in comparison, but statue collecting certainly ain't cheap these days. Fortunately I've been sticking to this line for GOT. We have the new Dany and Tyrion in my local store, and Tyrion is amazing. The likeness is brilliant and much better than the original. May buy that one.

So Dark Horse have now got their own collectible website, darkhorsedirect. Supposedly to sell their stuff direct, and in limited editions, the first of which is Tormund Giantsbane. So does this mean he won't be available from anywhere else, like my local shop? And does it also mean the line isn't dead yet?

So I got the Ghost figure from Culturefly on eBay for around £30, and he goes perfectly with Jon. Was interested in the mini Dany with Drogon statuette but she looks tiny in a video I've seen, not in scale with the figures? Still hoping we get Melisandre and Tormund, and then new figures like Sam, Theon etc, maybe some new ones will be shown at SDCC? Any gaps I think I'll plug with Eaglemoss figures. They're small but look good. Collectors of that line are also worried about its future, as they are about to hit 60 issues with no promise of an extension. Apparently Eaglemoss are keen to do more, but it's HBO who are being a problem. I wonder if it's the same case with these figures? Why wouldn't HBO want a continuous income of GOT merchandise? I'm still buying Lord of the Rings statues 14 years after ROTK came out!

Nooooo we need Theon, Sam and Davos AT LEAST!! And Ramsey.... maybe I should get those Eaglemoss models...

There's also a Wun Wun to come right? And that mysterious Ghost figure I've seen, in that mystery box set thing, but I'm not paying out for that over a few months just for Ghost... I hope you can get him separately? Still hoping in this line for Samwell, Theon, Ramsey and Davos at least.

Is that...... a mini Ghost?? That I saw in a photo from NYCC? Looks like the Ghost in the larger statue, just on his own... I hope it's part of the figure line, could go well with the original Jon figure

Pff, try collecting 1/6 scale Weta Lord of the Rings statues!! These figures are tiny and cheap in comparison. Incidentally I e-mailed Dark Horse asking how long they intend making more figures and giving them a list of what I'd like to see. They confirmed they have a few in the works and are planning more.

Oh wow, thanks! Can't believe I haven't seen that Wun Wun before now! Definately looks like it should fit in with the figures. That gives me hope for the mountain. I'd also still love Ghost.

Wun Wun? Where are you seeing these pics?

So the new Jon has been shown at SDCC.... any more photos? Any more brand new announcements? New figures seem to be announced at a slower rate these days, and there's still so many more worthy characters that need doing. The pop vinyls seem to get pumped out so fast with so many different characters.

Hmm. If they're now aiming new fans that makes me wonder about the chances of older characters like Catelyn and Robert. But, if new fans are coming on board and binge-watching the whole series, that might actually make older characters more viable.

Yeah I agree with that. Am I the only one who'd also like Ghost to go with Jon? He's big enough to justify his own piece surely?

Is there usually any more announced throughout the year? SDCC maybe?

Oh awesome I didn't hear about a Tormund! Very happy he's being done. I agree to an extent about wanting new characters but I would also say they DO have a different look. Although not Arya, not sure why she needs re-doing. I would've gone for queen Cersei. Maybe Arya gets a new outfit this season. But yes there's still a few new characters we need, and with two seasons to go I hope we'll see the main ones. Also that Jon bust looks epic.
