Drogo before Dany?

:lol

You never know. The fact we're getting Drogo in an initial 7 figure run at all is pretty weird. :lol

the hound just seems like a character/figure that may appeal to more than just GOT fans IMO, is why i was shocked he wasnt first. same with the white walker. both could have got alot of attention from more than just the expected GOT fans. no?

Threezero can keep their White Walker doll FOREVER.

Agreed on the Hound though.

They should kick Drogo and White Walker off the list and add Hound and Tywin.

I know a lot of folks on these boards don't seem to like the Walkers, but the fact is, in most lines, villains/monsters always tend to sell pretty well. Sure, there are always exceptions, but look at LOTR ... some of their most sought after pieces are baddies. I don't see any reason why these wouldn't be a winner for 3Zero. Book fans may disagree with the way the show designed them, but I still think they'll sell fairly well to show fans.

All that said, the further away from Season 1 we get, the less and less anybody's probably going to want a Drogo figure.

They should hold off on him and wait for someone to do an Aquaman 1/6 scale figure from the upcoming Justice League film.
 
I actually really want a Drogo figure. He'd have great shelf presence. Not to mention he would look awesome standing beside Dany. If they made the main White Walker I'd be tempted... I'm not really a villain collecter if it's not DC.
 
Drogo and a White Walker would be truly unique figures. Dany would even be pretty unique since it seems like the female sixth scale market is pretty slim. The Hound might appeal to lots of collector that like armored figures. I know my brother would want him for his armor and he doesn't watch Game of Thrones.
 
I can see how someone who has read and enjoys any book(s) might be apprehensive about a TV series or movie retelling of the story. No matter how good, and GoT is great, it's never going to match up with one's imagination. I much prefer to watch a movie/series first and read the source material later if given the opportunity.

I'm the same, I fully plan on reading the books once the show is done and over with. I didn't even know about the books prior to the show so I learned about both at the same time. When I showed him pictures of some characters he was like WOOOAH, I imagined them way differently. So I guess I can see how that would be annoying for him since he already his pictures of these characters in his mind :D
 
Its all a matter of personal preference. Jon Snow is my most wanted, after him Drogo is a close second most wanted. I had no interest in Ned, Dany, or the Hound. People will want what they want and think it should come first. Regardless of what is released, I hope they come out great,
 
I really want a White Walker and Khal Drogo on my shelf.

The walkers are mysterious and powerful monsters I really like the design plus if one ever releases with an undead horse it will be an epic win :yess:.

Drogo was a great character, I don't see him as the "Boba Fett" of thrones (That "honor" is reserved for the mountain) he was a true badass: conquering cities and killing rebellious subordinates, plus his death was one of the catalyst of the story at Essos just like Ned was at Westeros, very important character indeed.

BTW I hope we get Brienne eventually, she and the Hound are must haves. I'd also like to compare her to the inevitable:

Star Wars Captain Phasma figure by hot toys

In terms of headsculpt likeness at least.
 
As much as I've ragged on Drogo he's the wild card in the bunch for me. He's the 'maybe'. I'm definitely down for five. Tyrion, Ned, Jon,Jaime and Dany. White Walker- no chance. I do like Drogos design. A little off from the books ( which some people had problems with) but I like it a lot. I just can't get down of a purchaser and raper off young girls. Still, if they make Dany in her Dothraki garb ( which is actually my preference) I may be persuaded to get Drogo.

And with GOT it's such a unique circumstance because HBO has confirmed that the show will conclude prior to the books being released, and there are already things happening in the show that have not yet occurred in the books. It's a difficult decision. I saw the first season of the show, then read all the books between the first and second season and, if I was able to do so, I would have finished the books. Now I'm watching every new episode as it releases. It's a strange feeling, honestly, because prior to reading the books, I had no idea what was going to happen in Season 1, then I read all the books, and the last 3 seasons of the show I've enjoyed because it's been interesting to see how the show handles certain scenes that I had imagined in my mind, but with this season I'm being completely surprised again. I would have waited for the books to release, but let's face it - GRRM may never release all of them - he's not exactly a spring chicken anymore.
 
Chockles,

You could pick your pre order up.
Know any other HK shop they might be selling this? I didnt have the funds during the pre order period.
I asked Budget Stark but sadly they were sold out, this is his picture.

Yeah, this was a catch-all thread, but the series deserves one thread per figure like the SW, Marvel and DC releases get. I thought about starting a Tyrion thread early last year but never did - no one else did either and now it's all buried in here.
