Threezero Game of Thrones - 1/6 Jon Snow

[DKA8976]

I don't even think the likeness is bad at all, pretty solid to me.

I really think it is the paint. If I had a Facebook I would comment to Threezero directly (like Pixel suggested). I feel like the likeness is there, buried under a weak paint job. I hope that it turns out ok, considering how excellent the other two GoT sculpts have turned out.

I think if we are all inclined we should be expressing as much feedback to threezero as possible. I can't as I dknt use facebook, but we really need to suggest they fix their paint and perhaps even tweak the sculpt a bit.

They all could and need to be improved upon. Tyrion was stronger with a few major flaws and Ned was a big step down. jon looks a little weak from the protos and I'm sorry but that Iminime figure set up a very high bar. I know its HBOs and not threezero's fault but they have a bitter bias from me going into this because I was never able to get the iminime figure. It will be hard to impress me on this one.

Open a Facebook account if only for the purpose of contacting Threezero. It was one of the motivations for getting on FB myself. I use it exclusively for 1/6 and don't have any family/friends or personal acquaintances linked to my profile at all. All my FB friends are people I've met online only. Don't use your real name, but use a real-sounding name if you want a special-purpose membership like this.

none of us got the (I) one because it got cancelled cause of this and yes that one was perfect but im really happy to get this one hopefully sculpt/ paint is improved but still getting for sure. would be awesome if (I) would release just the head sculpt for us.

Maybe it would look in proportion on the Tyrion body.

I'm starting to feel a bit of Deja Vu every time I enter the Game Of Thrones threads.

Threezero will deliver, they have done a good job so far according to the majority of us who have purchased the figures, regardless of what a vocal minority may say.

Really high standards some have, obviously the guys working long hours in a factory painting action figure heads for minimum pay won't deliver the same results as some underground specialized artisan/sculptor who makes unlicensed short runs of a certain character for a larger amount of money per piece but it still will be pretty good for a mass-produced item.

Regarding threezero's work:

Is the likeness there? Yes.
Is it perfect? No it is not, but nothing really is.
Should we keep asking threezero to make a better HS? Absolutely.

Some say you get what you pay for, but no way in hell I'll give 800+ bucks to some guy doing a pirate release of my favorite characters, no matter how good. It is a bad practice and it hurts the show/book and the people behind it. I rather buy the threezero toys and support the official releases and show

When the time comes that I need the ultimate likeness of Harrington, Bean or Dinklage I'll simply download pictures and frame them...which isn't going to happen anytime soon .

Whatever the case is still good seeing how the line keeps getting support and more fans by the day. Just had to get that out of my chest guys and gals. Have a good one!

That's how I feel. I'd rather buy licensed, official stuff. I didn't even know that Iminime figure was going to happen until I checked this thread today, and to be truthful, I don't think the Threezero one looks any worse. I probably prefer it, and I want to support Threezero for listening to their customer feedback and making Ghost bigger. I'm genuinely stoked for the figure; I think it looks great.

the huge hands and feet bother me more than headsculpt. def gettin ex tho.

With many stores and PayPal it's generally possible for someone to order FOR someone else by filling in the recipient name/details when creating a store account and then entering their name/details as an alternate address at the PayPal payment stage (matching the account info - this is how I've added alternative addresses in the US to my own PayPal which are not possible to add via the control panel). But orders placed under one identity can't be transferred to another after the fact - this is to protect against people selling pre-orders (the same thing applies to 3A's Bambaland store which is also processed through Threezero's account).

But if you don' t have a PayPal account, just use a credit card - PayPal will process it for Threezero. If you don't see that option, shut down the browser, restart it, clear PayPal cookies and then revisit the site.

Thanks for the responses guys. I emailed Threezero and they said the buyer also needed to be the recipient, so I'll be purchasing through my account.

Looking forward to getting this figure

1.- Yes.

2.- I don't think that's possible. "Orders are not transferable to third parties."

Yeah, I was impressed by that as well. Within a day or two of revealing the figure they announced they were increasing his size

This is actually the only thing I have a problem with. The boots look oversized. I hope they tone those down on the final product.

 

[Emperor]

I'm not sure if this has been answered, but does Threezero charge up front for pre-orders?

 

[smiles_hope]

Yes they do.

Broke down and ordered the exclusive. I probably should not have gotten into a new line but I couldn't resist. I wish they would get more figures out sooner for this line though as they are still working on season 1 in a way (although they increased the size of the wolf at least).

My friend loaned me season 4 recently so I am a bit behind but when I met her at a local bar here in Los Angeles to return it she forgot the DVD set at the bar! She called them and the manager grabbed the set and put it in the office. The next night the guy who plays Sam Tully of the Nights Watch came in and my bartender friend remembered the DVD set up in the office and went and got it for him to sign. He took a picture with him too, super nice guy. He said his hands are so soft, softer than a woman's. Anyways, my friend somehow lucked out, instead of her DVD set getting lost, it got signed!

 

[JonWes]

I'm pretty satisfied with the rate of release. As long as the figures sell, I feel like GOT is a property that people would keep buying even after the series has ended.

 

[Lumos]

Anyone have any experience with leather/fake leather clothing from Threezero?

Been hearing so much talk about pleather on Hot Toys figures peeling and whatnot lately that I'm starting to think I should swear off on all figures wearing the stuff. Especially if the same character is offered in statue form... I want something that'll last.

Really cool story. Hearing things like that make me happy.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

That remark about his soft hands cracks me up, it definitely fits Sam.

 

[Darth Zangetsu]

I had sworn that I was trimming down my collecting. Avengers and JL. And since I decided to pick up most of the AOU line, this has been an expensive year.

But I love GOT, and if nothing else, I would collect the Starks and Khal Drogo. Frack it! I am ordering Jon.

 

[fistfulmetal]

I know what you mean about getting Jon Snow. I love the show and at that price point, it's hard not to pass up on the figure.
