Mcfarlane Toys Game of Thrones building sets and blind bags?

Post by StClair » Sat Feb 13, 2016 11:24 am

I was not interested in the Walking Dead sets being produced by McFarlane toys BUT when I discovered that they have also started producing Game of Thrones items I had to see details online. I still doubt that I'll buy them but they would make adequate displays for those that love Game of Thrones and building things. There's a small throne room display which actually looks really nice for about $25-$30.

Also they have Banner Packs which has a display with banner for a corresponding family and 2 warriors. The family logo's are printed really nicely on plastic banners and I could easily see some collecting each pack for each family and displaying them.

Apparently they also have mystery bags with figures but I don't like them. They aren't very poseable and while they are much more detailed than LEGO they don't look good enough to justify loss of articulation.

Even though I don't like the figures I do like the overall appearance of the finished Throne room. It would make a great display. It makes me very sad knowing that LEGO will probably never produce Game of Thrones sets.
Here's a speed build of the Throne room on mcfarlane toys website
UPDATE: here's a direct link to the speedbuild (the second link shows pics and the video on official site)

It does look as though the figure is removable from the throne. Also I discovered that the throne room is currently $15 at Gamestop. Hmmm.... what to do
