I'd be interested in a Boromir...I mean Ned head.

Every interest list needs 16 people interested for us to go ahead with them unless we decide the character is popular enough to go ahead and make without like we did with Michonne. It is definitely because WD is more popular. There is less risk for us. We know she will sell more once she is done.
I LOVE Deadwood but cant say I think they will sell much more than it's 16 once finished and we already have other interest lists that have hit 16 we need to make. I consider it a triumph to show loyalty so many people want the Deadwood heads without us making the costumes for them.
With Game of Thrones, we've said what the hold up was in the thread several times- it's our lack of tailors/seamstresses available (and the fact they are slow as dirt- true story). We had a lot of tailors/seamstresses when we started the thread up but by the time they hit 16 a year later we did not.
Our help changes all the time and we test a lot of new tailors out all the time but most flake out. And just like hobby models have levels of difficulty, so do sewing projects. There are the easy projects we give the newbies as tests then there are varying levels of difficulty afterwards. Game of Thones are pretty busy costumes so we'll need our best seamstress on them. Unfortunately our main seamstress capable of doing GOT, who is a HUGE fan of the show, has three hard WGP projects backed up before she can even start GOT (and only managed to complete two projects for us this year). So GOT is on hold until we get those others finished or our sewing staff changes, which can happen on a dime.
So if you see easier sewing projects go ahead like Zombie girl who's pajamas and bath robe are pretty easy to sew, you'll know why.
We really want to do GoT and were just talking about this again today.
We are still bogged down by lack of seamstresses but wanted to go ahead and announce we are going to kick off our deluxe GoT line with Daenerys, with our goal to have her out by years end!
