The epic HBO® series Game of Thrones has won worldwide
success and a legion of fans. This audience is clamoring for unique
collectibles and merchandise, and Dark Horse has been working with HBO Global
Licensing to provide just that. A core item in the Game of Thrones program is
the ongoing series of high-quality, affordable, molded-plastic figures of the
most in-demand characters.
Building on the success of the previously announced
lineup, five new figures will debut to the trade in February at the
International Toy Fair, held at Jacob Javits Center in New York.
The nonarticulated figures represent a moment in time
from the show, perfectly capturing each character’s true personality. Each
figure measures approximately 7.5 inches tall and is based on the likeness of
the respective actors. Figures slated for a July 2014 release include Cersei
Baratheon, Arya Stark, Robb Stark, Jaime Lannister, and the White Walker. The
suggested retail price for each figure is $24.99.
“The Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen figures were snapped
up by the fans, and the April releases are already highly anticipated,” Dark
Horse Product Development head David Scroggy remarked. “We will continue to
make these nonarticulated figures, in order to capture all of the small details
that would be at risk in a traditional jointed action figure. No corners have
been cut in achieving realism and faithfulness to the HBO series.”
The Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen figures are available
in stores now. Tyrion Lannister, Khal Drogo, and Ned Stark will arrive in early
April, just in time for the Game of Thrones season 4 debut.
Just like the past releases, these figures will be
presented in deluxe window-box packaging, the graphic design of which further
underscores the aesthetic of the HBO series.
An additional group of five premium figures in this
ongoing program is in the preproduction prototype stage, with a tentative
release date of November 2014.
