McCloskey Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Whats up with the resin sculpture of the Hound? Is this a new line to replace the Testors miniatures? Will this be for sale? It looks awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 These are being produced by Haute Productions and yes, basically they're a new license holder. There's also a sculpture of the Hound, and if you dig around the MySpace site, there's an picture of an as-yet-unpainted Eddard sculpt. The guys will be at Comic-Con, and according to Jed Haigh they hope to open up their official website and pre-ordering sometime after that.

I'll dig around some more when I get home tonight. The Hound looked incredible. Cant wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Oh, I should add the Dany sculpture is not strictly safe for work, since she's in a Qartheen gown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daena the Defiant Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Oh, I should add the Dany sculpture is not strictly safe for work, since she's in a Qartheen gown. Lovely, lovely stuff - however, I don't like the color of her gown. Too somber for Dany, IMHO, and the crown really just skirts being ludicrous. Okay, not even. It is ludicrous. The blazon before her, though, is really nice, and her yes are just as I picture them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ludicrous is in the eye of the beholder, though. I'll put it down to the Qartheen having rather gaudy tastes (which is probably accurate). The gown color, I think it compliments her eyes nicely. Maybe the green samite would have been better, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the green samite would have been better, though. I just think that the three-headed crown coud have been designed with a degree more elegance. I certainly never pictured it being so high.

Ran Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hey, folks, Valyrian Resin is now online with their offiicial site, which makes pre-ordering available (the resins are priced at $54.99, plus $8.95 for shipping). The first three statues -- Eddard Stark, Sandor Clegane, and Daenerys Targaryen -- are set to ship by late March, and will be limited edition runs of 2500. They highlight the fact that pre-orders will be very important to their being able to move quickly on getting these into the hands of fans and collectors.

Terser Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Well....I tried to buy two of each. Loaded up my virtual cart, entered all my contact/billing info (including my email address). Everything seemed Jim-Dandy okely-dokely. Then I clicked the "purchase" icon...a screen appeared with all the purchase, billing, and contact info(again, including my email addy). But toward the top was a line saying something along the lines of "Error--email address is required." Puzzling... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sio Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Ooh, nice! I like the Ned one particularly. The Hound is also pretty good. Dany's allright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Terser, I'll send word a long to Jed about the problem. He might pop in here at some point (currently they're working Comic-Con). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Blackfyre" Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Beautiful work! Will be ordering 2 of each for sure. BH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padraig Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 On the Valyrian website, they seem to be only selling the resins to people in Canada and the US. Is that likely to change going forward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Wow, never noticed that. Bit of a bummer, but it may be a temporary issue. I'll ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 And results! Though it looks like Jed was already working on this, and just needed to get back from Comic-Con. The U.K. has been added, as well as a number of other countries (Australia, Germany, Spain, France, Taiwan, Switzerland, Hong Kong). They're actively working to expand their overseas factors, so we've provided them a list of suggestions based on the top countries in our hits.

blindsdog Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Defintely going to have to pre-order Eddard. But does Dany look a little older than she should be to anyone else? Doesn't look like a 15/16 year old tbh. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I see they must have read the Scottish independence thread. Great Britain and Scotland are both on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trey Greyjoy Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 These look great! Question: Im a bit dim, rather impatient and at work....I didnt see any indication of how large these busts are. Did anyone else? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 From a picture I've seen of them, in which George is gesturing to a sculpt, I'd guess about 6" inches/16 centimeters, but I think that's without the base. Maybe 9 inches with? I'll drop a question to Jed about it (and remind him that he can drop by here from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 And more results. Jed's going to add a picture to the front page showing the statues in relation to a ruler, and they have added (or will add) the following text: "These pieces are in 1/6 scale. That basically means that six feet equals twelve inches. But each figure is in scale to the others. So you'll notice that while you may see one sculpture up to the waist, you'll see another to the thighs. It depends on the size relative to the other figures. But all the sculptures, including the base, are approximately eight inches tall." So, there you are. Fairly sizable pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
