New Game of Thrones Collectibles Just In Time For Season 6

Concord, CA – Factory Entertainment, Inc., the Concord, California-based producer of licensed toys and collectibles is pleased to announce two brand new items from its Game of Thrones line, just in time for the series sixth season: Castle Black and The Wall Desktop Sculpture and The Red Keep Relief Sculpture.

Castle Black and the Wall Desktop Sculpture
Last year, Factory Entertainment debuted its Game of Thrones Winterfell Desktop Sculpture, the first in a proprietary line of screen-accurate scaled environments. Today, the company expands its offerings from that category with its gigantic Castle Black and The Wall Desktop Sculpture.


Fans familiar with the show already know that The Wall is a colossal fortification constructed millennia ago and that it is garrisoned by several structures along its length which are defended by the Sworn Brothers of the Night’s Watch who maintain their headquarters from one of those structures, the remote and isolated stronghold, Castle black.
Standing an impressive 12.5” tall, Castle Black, the elevator and a section of The Wall including its battlements are perfectly captured at 1:700 scale

The Red Keep Relief Sculpture
Factory Entertainment’s second new Game of Thrones collectible is another highly recognizable castle from the series, The Red Keep Relief Sculpture.

The Red Keep dominates the skyline of the city of Kings Landing. Located at the southeastern corner of the city, it overlooks Blackwater Bay and the Narrow Sea. It serves as the city’s primary fortress and redoubt and is the Seat of the Iron Throne.
Capturing the majesty of The Red Keep, Factory Entertainment’s artists were able to sculpt this collectible in a mixture of high and low relief, which are commonly used in historical art pieces.
Each piece is cast in heavyweight polyresin and is finished in a bronze effect and patina. The Red Keep Relief Sculpture has a choice of display options on the rear and can be either wall mounted or displayed on a desktop.
Both limited edition sculptures are individually numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity.
"To create these iconic pieces, HBO provided our designers with access to the original visual effects files used to create various props and sets from the series." said Barry Eldridge, Product Developer of Factory Entertainment's Game of Thrones sculptural lines. "In addition, scenes from the show were carefully scrutinized for fine details and master patterns were then meticulously hand sculpted to create immersive experiences. We truly feel that we’ve been able to accurately represent what’s presented on-screen and are very proud to offer these new pieces to GOT enthusiasts everywhere."
Both new Game of Thrones collectibles, as well as a wide range of other products from the show, are available to order now. Fans can also visit Factory Entertainment’s website for a chance to win a Winterfell Desktop Sculpture starting today.

For Immediate Release: Dark Horse Comics Unveils Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart’s Cover for The Trade Paperback of HELLBOY IN HELL Volume 2

March 22, 2016— Legendary comic book writer/artist Mike Mignola will conclude his critically acclaimed series HELLBOY IN HELL in 2016, when Dark Horse Comics publishes the final and tenth issue on June 1 and the trade paperback, HELLBOY IN HELL Volume 2 which collects issues 6 through 10, in October. In advance of the release of the series’ conclusion, Dark Horse Comics has released the cover to HELLBOY IN HELL Volume 2 by Mignola and award-winning colorist Dave Stewart. Following the conclusion of HELLBOY IN HELL, Mignola will take a year off from illustrating interior comic book pages in order to focus on fine art painting. “Doing the cover to this collection was tough and of course I overthought the hell out of it,” said Mignola. “It's the end of the series and so much happens. How do I get that onto a cover? In the end, after doing two self-rejected covers, I decided to just illustrate the title of the book. THE DEATH CARD. There is also a fairly subtle nod to the climax of the book in there, but mostly it’s illustrating the title while trying to do a composition very similar to the cover of the first collection. Since the two books do make one story, I really wanted to design the book covers so they would work well side by side.” After facing off for a second time against the Vampire of Prague, Hellboy, dead and in Hell, comes down with a fatal illness, and seeks the help of an incompetent team of doctors. As he explores the geography of Hell, learning little from a confused pair of map makers, Hellboy gets a glimpse of the new World Tree that he helped to create, stands accused of murder by his own sister and, in a way, brings about the destruction of Pandemonium itself. While 2016 will see the conclusion of HELLBOY IN HELL, ABE SAPIEN (which concludes in August) and B.P.R.D.: HELL ON EARTH (which concludes in November), Dark Horse Comics will publish new issues of HELLBOY & THE BPRD co-written by Mignola and iZOMBIE co-creator Chris Roberson and illustrated by fan favorite artists, as well as unannounced titles which Mignola will co-write, but not illustrate. HELLBOY IN HELL Volume 2 is available in comic shops October 5 and bookstores October 18. Preorder your copy today at your favorite retailer or local comic book store.   Amazon Barnes & Noble HELLBOY IN HELL Volume 1 is now available from all major retailers. HELLBOY IN HELL #9 and HELLBOY IN HELL #10 will be available in comic stores May 4 and June 1.   “Since introducing Hellboy in March of 1994, Mike Mignola has built a huge comic-book universe around the character on par with what Stan Lee and Jack Kirby accomplished in the Silver Age of Marvel Comics.. . .  Each new visual is like a master class in establishing mood, and Mignola’s skill increases as he refines his line, proving that less is more when it comes to his pulp-inspired fantasy horror universe.” —THE AV CLUB “Iconic.” —ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “One of the most beloved characters in the comic book community.” —IGN  “An inspiration to creators hoping to achieve similar success with their own characters and ideas.” —MENTAL FLOSS “Seminal.” —THE NERDIST ### About Mike Mignola MIKE MIGNOLA’s fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse. As of this writing there are twelve Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spinoff titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola’s film Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike’s books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives somewhere in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.
