DARK HORSE UNVEILS TYRION STATUE
THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE
GAME OF THRONES®
COLLECTIBLES LINE!
SEPTEMBER 5, MILWAUKIE,
OR—When looking for a key moment to immortalize as the second sculptural piece
in Dark Horse’s highly coveted line of Game
of Thrones collectibles, Dark Horse turned to none other than
writer/producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for the most “statueworthy”
moment in the then-unaired second season.
The two chose the memorable
scene when Tyrion, as portrayed by Peter Dinklage, charges into battle, leading
the defense of King’s Landing against an assault by King Stannis Baratheon in
the Battle of the Blackwater. They further assisted with special photographic
reference taken during filming, expressly for use as sculpture reference for
the piece.
“When
Dark Horse Deluxe began developing a new line of collectibles based on the
HBO® adaptation of Game
of Thrones, we
were pleased to discover we had the full attention of all involved, from
the team at HBO Global Licensing to the principals steering in the production,”
said Dark Horse’s VP of Product Development, David Scroggy. “The Tyrion statue
is a benefit of that communication, and we know the fans and collectors will
recognize the quality that is the result.”
Dark Horse is currently
offering the statue to the trade for advance order. The Tyrion statue will be
issued in a limited run, with the final edition size undetermined at press
time.
This detailed figure
measures approximately 10 inches in height and 9.5 inches across its base,
which features Tyrion’s cast-aside helmet and other painstakingly re-created
details.
Hand painted and numbered,
the Game of Thrones Tyrion statue will
come packaged in a deluxe full-color box.
Fans of the series can view
a “Making of the Tyrion Lannister statue” video on the Dark
Horse Blog.
Look for these statues to
arrive in stores on February 20, 2013, with a suggested retail price of $199.99.
