Game of Thrones fans can now bring home a small piece of their favorite, uh, small character. HBO Licensing and Threezero have announced a release date for the scale figure of Tyrion 'Big Impin' Lannister. The figurine collectible company Threezero announced earlier this year that they would be bringing Game of Thrones characters to life, so to speak. Fan favorite and witty badass Tyrion, who just had the first good news in months, is the first figure to be moulded.
The Science Behind Game of Thrones
All the figures will be 1/6th scale models, though I have to wonder if Tyrion's won't be closer to 1/5th? That's a short joke, everybody. Laugh. Each figure will be fully articulated, allowing for a range of intimidating poses. Buyers please note, this is Season 1 and Season 2 Tyrion, when he was Hand of the King to that little bastard Joffrey. The figure does not have the scar he received near the end of the second season. No doubt Threezero will be releasing 'battle damaged Tyrion' to continue the tradition of selling figures such as 'Ghost Obi-Wan' and 'Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru (Tattooine Skirmish)'.
Pre-order for the second son of Casterley Rock and savior of the Battle of Blackwater begins at 9pm eastern time this Memorial Day, May 26, 24 hours after you have realized that there was no Game of Thrones this weekend and oh god, why would they do that to you with all these family members around? Threezero is selling the figure directly from their site, threezerostore.com, for $130, which is steep, but this is a fine work of art that anyone can appreciate. Take pictures with it. It's way better than a traveling gnome! HBO and other retailers will be receiving Tyrion, along with the whole line of Game of Thrones-inspired characters as they are released later in the year.
Game of Thrones Telltale Game Will Have Original Plot
Threezero will obviously cover all the major folks, your Starks, your Lannisters, your Targaryens (Viserys Targaryen, with Golden Crown!) what I really want is for them to get more and more obscure. Here's Hot Pie with Wolf-shaped bread! Here's the guy Arya and the Hound totally mercy-killed! Coming soon: Jon Arryn, now with removable coins over his eyes! Westeros is a very big world and a very popular one, come on Threezero, don't let us down just yet.
