FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Dark Horse is now revealing new additions to their successful ongoing line of figures based on the hit HBO® series Game of Thrones®!
“We have been floored by the response to these figures,” Dark Horse
product development head David Scroggy noted, “and these will give fans
the new favorites we have come to know as the epic saga unfolds."
Sansa Stark,
the oldest Stark daughter, fled King’s Landing to the Eyrie with
Littlefinger’s assistance after Joffrey’s murder and now travels
alongside him. The figure measures 7.75” in height. The fine detailing
of her black and midnight blue dress is exactly as seen in the HBO
series.
Jorah Mormont,
an exiled Northern lord, originally joined Daenerys’s company as a spy
on behalf of King Robert, but ultimately became committed to her cause.
He followed Daenerys, providing counsel, but was banished when she
learned of his betrayal. The Jorah figure measures 7.85” in height, with
the paint application reproducing the nuances of his likeness and
costume.
Sandor Clegane,
the former Kingsguard better-known as The Hound, abandoned King Joffrey
and his post during the Battle of Blackwater. After encountering Ayra
Stark at the Riverlands, he held her captive while travelling to the
Eeyrie in hopes of collecting a ransom. The Hound’s formidable
proportions are reflected in this 8.4” figure. He is shown wearing his
signature helmet, which is hinged so that it opens and closes.
Brienne of Tarth,
warrior of House Tarth and vassal to House Baratheon, is a skilled
fighter. After serving as the Kingsguard for Renly Baratheon and the
sworn sword of Catelyn Stark, she bonds with Jaime Lannister while
escorting him back to King’s Landing, where he gives her a new suit of
armor and a Valyrian steel sword reforged from Eddard Stark’s great
sword, Ice. This armor is reproduced on our 8” tall figure, with all the
impeccable details accounted for.
Slated for a Fall 2015 release, these four new characters join four other Dark Horse Game of Thrones figures making their on-sale debut this spring:
Tywin Lannister, former Hand of the King and head of House Lannister and Lord of Casterly Rock, was one of the most powerful lords in Westeros.
Joffrey Baratheon,
former King of Westeros before his untimely murder at his wedding, was
over-indulged and cowardly. He exhibited a cruel streak toward the
vulnerable.
Petyr (“Littlefinger”) Baelish,
the eyes and ears of King’s Landing, left his role as master of coin in
the Small Council to secure the Vale by marrying Lysa Arryn.
Hodor and Bran
are practically inseparable since Bran was pushed from a tower in
Winterfell and lost the ability to walk. In this figure, Hodor carries
Bran Stark on his back, immortalizing the close bond the two characters
share. This special “double figure” is larger than others in the line,
measuring a Hodor-sized nine inches, including the base.
These Game of Thrones figures have a suggested retail price of $24.99-$39.99 and are presented in deluxe window box packaging.
