Threezero - Game of Thrones - 1/6 Eddard (Ned) Stark Figure

[Brendan352]

Here's a comparison from the picture that was posted of the head sculpt. It was hard to find a picture of Ned looking straight on. Only thing that looks slightly off to me is his fatness of the face. Everything else looks great, they did a wonderful job of capturing all of the lines on his face around his eyes and mouth.

EDIT: Look how well they matched his eyebrows! His brows are shaped different then each other on each side and they matched them PERFECTLY.

Did a quick edit to try and make the beard match the hair, which is the only thing currenty bothering me about this figure.

Tyrion will stand in for the time being.

Awesome pics Chockles! Ned came out great!

This looks great. Now the impatient wait for BBTS to get them in stock.

For $160 this is a pretty good figure. If it were HT prices I would say not quite. I will definitely get this later on down the line, I wonder how much Ice will be going for.

You must not buy anything from HT then.

Doubt HT could have delivered such a good figure. When it comes to weathering threea/threezero are on a whole other level.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

HT weathering looks stout to me

 

[Brendan352]

You can't have a battle damaged Iron Man and not have it have weathering...lol

I'm pretty sure they are talking about just a regular figure. All of their clothes looks like they are putting it on for the first time, GRANTED, the Game of Thrones world presents more of a need for weathering then the Marvel Universe.

You just made me think about the difference between weathering and battle damage when it comes to figures. I do not posses Iron Man figures but doesn't his chest piece comes like that straight from the mold? I feel like threea weathering looks better and more convincing:

I get it. Still, trying to convince people this is better than an HT offerings and putting them down is silly.

Enjoy it for being an awesome $160 release, because if you put this next to DX Sparrow or anything of that ilk.....

I'm not trying to convince people. Hot Toys makes incredible figures and owning one is a treat. We were talking about weathering though so I was comparing Hot Toys weathering to what ThreeZero has put out so far.

Not you specifically, it was mentioned earlier. I agree the weathering on that robot pictured above is pretty good!

Ahh gotcha, my bad I think most of the figures in this scale look awesome no matter who is making them with a few exceptions here and there.

Maybe HT's Iron Men and Marvel characters are much better in person than in photos. And maybe they're much better than HT's Indy, Reeve Superman, Alice, Bespin Luke, DX12 Batman, Selina Kyle, Armory Batman, Alfred and Bruce Wayne. And the Tumbler and Armory. Because my 3Zero Tyrion definitely is.

I'm not one for putting down a producer's efforts in general, but I'm tired of people saying "yeah, it's good, but it's not Hot Toys" - Hot Toys are far from the end-all be-all in this hobby and I have yet to see a figure from them at any price that can't be improved upon significantly.

Eh, you're cherry picking HT duds. For every dud you name I can cherry pick a home run that puts Tyrion and Ned in their respective places, and I bought them both. Hot Toys is the gold standard in 1:6 for a reason, and it isn't b/c they release more duds than they do home runs. Granted, I agree they aren't the end all be all either, but claiming Ned is better than any figure they released is absurd.

:Eh, you're cherry picking HT duds.

The figures I mentioned, which are the ones I own, not cherry-picked, are some of the most lauded and celebrated releases HT has ever made. DX12 Batman? Reeve Superman? Some people will argue those are the best they've ever done. I'll argue that Alfred is one of the top head sculpts they've ever produced.

But they do release more misses nonetheless. What HT has that no one else does right now, more than anything else, is volume. Both in terms of sheer number of different products as well as large production numbers of each of them. They've got some great factory output.

Don't think anyone claimed that. What I had just claimed was that Tyrion easily bests the HT figures I have on hand, regardless of price. If Ned cost $220 one might complain that he's light on accessories, stand, whathaveyou, but not on sculpt, body and soft goods of the basic figure. Doing that warrants the same complaint against every day releases from Hot Toys.

To be fair, you started your list with Indy which is lauded as one of their biggest disasterpieces lol. I agree about Reeve, I own that one. As for HT's volume, agreed. Their output is freaking mind blowing, as is the end product quality for the most part.

As for your last comment, if you like Tyrion that much no problem with that, great fig.

Having Tyrion here and comparing his portrait to the likes of DX Sparrow, Cavill & Reeve Superman, recent RDJ Stark, Kingsley Mandarin - I'm putting Tyrion in the back seat behind all of them. That isn't a slight, as those are some of the best portraits in the hobby imo.
