Threezero Game of Thrones - 1/6 Jon Snow

[Chockles]

Ghost needs his licensing fees as well lol

And the 100k it costs to make the mould. This isn't going to be for sale at Toys R Us or Walmart, so there's no way a collectibles company can break even selling a figure, even a non-articulated statue, for $5.

Not a metal sword?.. it looks very plastic to me.

The wolf looks a little... meh... still going for the EX though. love the tailoring on this figure, hell, on all the figures thus far... wheres my Ned at?!

You can have as many metal swords and accessories as your heart desires: https://www.facebook.com/fullmetals16customs - he's already produced multiple GoT pieces.

Nooo.....I only really need Ned and Tyrion for the collection....I don't need this......I don't need this....

 

[Racetrack]

I'm in for the Ex. You can't have Jon Snow without Ghost. You just can't.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Where did you get the ridiculous figures for it costing 100k to make a mold?!

 

[Commander Cody]

Buying this forsure!

I've had multiple molds made at various price points and worked for a company that has had many molds made. It was a ballpark, it could be $40k or it could be two $40k molds, whatever. But the point is they can't amortize the cost of a mold at any price selling a figure for $5 with such limited sales.

The purpose of any business is to maximize return on investment for its shareholders and you don't do that by losing money - which still happens sometimes, along with break-even releases according to Ashley Wood.

The wolf looks like ****. Cool figure though.

100k a mould your dreaming, even 40k your dreaming...

100k a mould your dreaming, even 40k your dreaming...

I'll come to you the next time I need moulds made then if you can save me a a significant portion of my investment.

Maybe later this year Threezero will start selling their products at ToysRUs and other retailers by the hundreds of thousands and we can all pick up the new figures for $50 all-in with twice as many accessories.

I'm not particularly sold on Ghost; however, I'm kicking myself for missing out on the exclusive Ned Stark. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

Ghost is ugly, but I still will get the two pack, after all I'm the man who was considering purchasing the new Aragorn from Asmus because I found the yelling HS hilarious

 

[Chockles]

I got a feeling that once Snow is released, everyone would want Ghost, just because no one wants to be left out. haha

 

[Mudblood]

I'll probably just be looking for a better looking wolf statue to paint.

You may run into issues with scale - a lot of people have been looking for the same thing.

 

[Mudblood]

I'm getting the EX in the hopes that they'll revise Ghost if enough people express their dislike for it. If the released product is still bad, there are plenty of sculptors on here that could do a better Ghost. I'm sure a run could be arranged.

 

[illproxy]

tempted to PO just to get sooner. if i do will work on getting a good sized wolf pvc fig for when he arrives. the lil ghost is so not a priority at all for me.
