ThreeZero Game of Thrones!

[TheFiend]

Anyone happen to know what wrist pegs would fit Eddard Stark figure? Unfortunately snapped one of them, and figure didn't come with extras. A link to purcahse would be greatly appreciated. I got some cheap earlier, thinking all the pegs were the same but I was wrong and they don't fit.

The exact same thing happened to me. I contacted Customer Service and they sent new ones. I can't remember if they gave me one pair or two.. How long have you owned it? The reason I ask is because it may depend on how long you've owned before they decide to send out replacements. Like mine broke within two days of receiving it in the mail.

Excellent! The scar looks great. And of course we know the quality of paint music does. Well done.

I've had it for half a year so I'm not sure how helpful Threezero will be. I'll shoot them a message nevertheless. Thanks for the suggestions.

Looks great, especially the hands. What a difference.

wow that looks really good and theyre nice pictures, pretty clear

Thanks, guys. The hands were the main things I wanted redone. They looked so dark and wooden before. Now I can look at it and be happy with almost everything about it. The repainted head and added scar make it pop and it brings it more up to date.

So with all they hype preceding season 6 premiere...any news from Threezero about the next figure in the line? It's been almost half a year since they showed Jaime, and we still quite far even from completing the main characters (Dany, Arya...). They seem to be following Hot Toys tendency to get distracted; all I can see on their site are robots and terror movies figures

It would be unwise for a company to put all their eggs in one basket. When you invest, you create a diversified portfolio. So they work on a variety of products to satisfy the largest amount of customers with their limited resources. Logic dictates that they follow the money, so while you may not be interested in robots, threezero likely has sales data showing that robot figures are their best sellers.

Which is a perfectly logical explanation I can agree with. On the other hand, they've got the exclusivity in 1:6 scale over the most popular TV show on history. A show with loads and loads of characters. A show that, if nothing changes, will probably be over in two years.

At the current release rate, that will leave us with the main core of characters.... that's it if we're lucky and Threezero doesn't waste any spot on a White Walker or Khal Drogo, like they initially planned to do. By then the show will be over, and our chances of getting any of the great secondary characters (like the Hound, Brienne, Tywin...) will be close to zero. Therefore I can understand their diversified portfolio, but in my -uninformed- opining they're losing their window of oportunity.

Agreed, how they haven't taken full advantage of this line this far into the license is just weird to me. The demand is massive but their interest doesn't seem to be.

I disagree 100% with everything else written, can't even get into replying point by point. I'd love to see more GoT figures, but it's not the end of the world if Jaime is the only one this year. In the 1/6 game, especially for companies besides HT, licensed releases are very rarely done in conjunction with first release of the original properties.

There is no "window" of opportunity with GoT. It's a wide open field of opportunity and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. If they can only produce N amount of product per year and they're doing so by filling their production pipeline with other licensed properties then it doesn't matter (to them) that they're not making more GoT figures. I get that most people have a super selfish perspective when talking about this kind of thing, but honestly, sit back, relax, take a chill pill (or your favorite concoction) and enjoy.

Pretty much. With a dedicated fan base such as GoT these figure will continue to sell. How many numerous properties are still valuable long after its original show, movie series etc. have ended? I mean, in this very sub-forum some small company felt it could make a buck making HEAT figures.


On another note, Weis and Benioff said in a recent interview that we're in the end game now with GoT. They went as far as saying possibly the last 13 episodes or so. This surprised me. Who knows how they'll break this up, or if they will at all.

 

[Jrobertson]

Excellent trio!

They really are.

 

[Pixelpiper]

My biggest complaint since the first season with GoT has been the stingy number of episodes per season. Every year I hope they'll increase the run to 12 or 13 for the season and now it looks like they're going to pull an AMC and create a single season split over two years of only 6 or 7 episodes. Damn.

They said they would break it up as 7 episodes in season 7 and 6 episodes in season 8.

That's the kind of thing a show-runner announces when the producers have severely cut back funding and/or pulled the plug on the show.

See AMC: Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Hell on Wheels.

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

But GoT's budget has done nothing but go up and up and up. (Pretty sure it's by FAR the most expensive show on TV.) I don't think it's about money. I honestly think they're predicting 13 (after the upcoming season) because that's how much story they have left.

I've also heard some rumblings that maybe those shorter seasons could consist of longer episodes, too. So they may end up being close to ten hours per season when all is said and done.

that looks great. i just love seeing all three together like that. nice collection jrobertson ☺

 

[Pixelpiper]

I thought the past five seasons have already proven we don't need story - just good writers with no idea of how long their contracts will last.

 

[Jrobertson]

Thanks

 

[Ce Ilhuicamina]

Damn, I don't want shorter seasons. Hope that isn't the case.
