S1 Dany could come with a chest of dragon eggs...can't think of anything else really. Maybe like different outfits? But companies don't do that so that's not going to happen! A newer version could come with a bathtub...JOKING. They'd probably give her like a dragon in a cage or maybe the unsullied handle thing.

I don't need her to come with anything as long as the head sculpt is good, but I could see how it might be a hard sell to others. Tyrion didn't come with much either but he seems to have sold pretty well.
 
The issue is that female figures in the sixth scale format are not strong sellers. Dany doesn't have any weapons or any sort of "play pattern", she just stands there and talks, she doesn't take any action poses. She's rather boring as an action figure. For a $10 Funko figure, it's not a big deal, but as a $150 12 inch figure, people are going to be more particular about what they buy.

I'm not arguing against a Dany figure, but it's going to be a hard sell for 1/6 collectors.

if you put up a vote for dany or someone like tormund giantsbane or the viper, i reckon 90% would want the latter, dany is boring, hell id rather viserys targaryen.

and what is the obsession with brianne? i dont get it..
 
To each his own, I guess. Still don't get that prejudice about female figures that many male collectors share...I'll pick a high quality Dany without thinking, and of course way before a much less interesting character like Tormund.
 
I don't agree with any of that 'Dany won't sell stuff'. And certainly not the '90% more people would want a Tormund figure' comment. :lol If they pull it off well she'll sell excellently. She has a dedicated fanbase, and it's not a small one either. She is absolutely integral to the storyline. She's simply one of the most loved characters. I think it depends on if they can make a good figure of her. And Brienne is awesome. Simples. There's nothing to "get".

I think you'd be mistaken and surprised by at least a ratio of 100 to 1. "boring" doesn't matter. I think a Daenerys figure would sell very well and the two you mentioned, relative failures. They may not be "boring" as you describe, but they're utterly insignificant in the TV show.
 
Well, I don't think Red Viper is insignificant. If anything he played a pretty important role, and he has his fans, I'm one of them. I'd love a Viper figure and I do think some people would buy him, but to assume he'd sell better than Dany, to me, is absurd. :lol
 
Well, I don't think Red Viper is insignificant.

Relatively speaking of course. He was a decent character, albeit short-lived. For perspective and comparison, it can be argued that Daenerys is the central character of the entire series thus far.

For someone to make a comment that the character is simply "boring" leaves me with the impression they're not actually fans of the show.
 
I'm going to mirror what everyone else is saying, Dany is a crucial character. Her NOT being made would be a failure. You can't have a Game of Thrones line without including her in it. Some of the other characters peoples are naming are great and all, but they shouldn't be made until the big guns are all done; the big guns being:

Big Guns: Ned, John, Dany, Tyrion, Jaime, and The Hound

Next Up Maybe: Drogo, Arya, Robb, Joffrey, Bienne, and Oberyn

If they go through all of those characters ^^^ you might start to see characters like Bronn or Tormund. This is all based on my opinions of course :D
 
100% agree each to there own, and dany should 100% be on the list of certainties, personally i think people who are major characters dead or alive should be thought of by threezero way above the smaller charactors. brenden hit the nail on the head with the big guns but id add jofffrey to that list essential to the storyline & one of the best, contriversial & hated charactors on the programme, oberyn his a massive cult following also, i just cant see the point wasting 1 figure on, in the words of the hound "breanne of ****ing tarth" unless three zero are gonna roll out about 15 figures, when i think we will get 6sh maximum.

and as i said in the past, if they dont make a baratheon, the line is flawed.
 
Dany is essential. I have no doubt she will be the 5th figure in this line.

Tormund however will never ever get made.

cobblers, just because i think shes boring? i think your just being narrow minded, do you want her to end up on the throne? i dont how predictable.
 
Dany, Jon and Tyrion are the central characters in the story imo.

I think to say a Dany figure would be boring is pretty ridiculous. Tyrion came with just a book and a cup for the regular version. You're pretty limited to what poses you can do with him, and yet it is a great looking figure.

Dany will probably come with the baby dragons, which is all you really need to complete the look.

It doesn't matter what I want nor what I think of the character, I didn't express an opinion on that either way, I'm simply commenting on the significance of the character based on what's being done with the TV show. If you have a problem with it, you'll need to speak to the showrunner and writing staff.

Agree, but you forgot Arya :) Not only is she one of the most beloved characters from the books, but also she has got even more POV chapters than Dany! Besides -and this is a personal opinion- she is the most brilliant of the young actor/actresses in the show, and her interactions with Tywin and the Hound are some of the best moments in GOT.

Experience has convinced me that this problem has nothing to do with female characters being "boring" or "action" potential, but deeper attitudes about women.

Someone just said aloud "and what is the obsession with brianne? i dont get it." Brienne is argubaly the best sword fighter on the series and her appeal is *somehow* lost on someone, who *just happens* to not like Daenerys too (I'm afraid to ask about Arya).

I forget who, but some wanker said in an Aliens thread how Hicks was a much better/cooler character than Ripley in his view.

It is not a one off attitude and really gets at the ability of a man to identify with a female character for her virtues other than physical attractiveness. Women do that all the time with male characters, but the reverse is still very fraught.

I couldn't agree more with your comment :goodpost: It becomes especially egregious in a show like GOT, where the number and quality of strong female characters is on par or even tops the male ones.
 
Jon Snow is the best Character IMO, also he is the only one to have a entire episode with only him and the Nights Watch '' The Watchers on the Wall' glad ill be able to have Snow in my Collection after all and Dany should be next after Jon all she need is some baby dragons and or chest with Dragon eggs.
