I think if Threezero makes all these figures they mentioned, it'll be quite the achievement. I think several things are happening which created a perfect storm effect:
- the must see tv effect of the final season(divided or not) has probably increased sales of all the figures currently on preorder. The ones that have been released already have gone up much higher in price on the aftermarket.
-the license may BE expiring and/or someone else has it, threezero is aware of it and wants people to stay with them. Given the vast amount of characters they have in some stage of production, people are less likely to abandon ship for a new company that may not even get past a 3rd figure.
-Because of all the pop culture/water cooler talk, the show is still currently gaining new fans.
-The first spinoff show is filming now which means interest in the brand may cool slightly but should heat up again once that show begins airing which gives threezero roughly 2 years to pump out GOT figures. Once that show has aired its first season, they will know how to proceed. If the show flops, they stop the figures or slow them down considerably. If it is a hit, we will probably see figures from it and more GOT figures. If that happens, I see us getting ANYBODY they didn't make yet. Robb, Theon, Little Finger, etc. All.
