Super Freak
I think he looks great, I can't wait to pick this guy up.
Hair...Schmair...I'm in.
I'm sure Dinklage has seen it and given the okay, so who are we to judge?? Other than that, I can't find much to fault in that figure other than the headsculpt, I think it looks pretty good.
are you serious? a total waste? no one would have the bloody license if they hadn't bought it and they are doing a fine job, as are three zero, these figures aren't hot toys quality but they aren't charging $300 per figure so its fineI'm hoping not to come off as a jerk being harsh with feedback and I want to do so constructively because I believe it's more effective and that members of three zero read the forums? Which is great, we are your audience and we appreciate the opportunity to share our thoughts with you.
I mean all my feedback as encouragement for better product but I'm not very impressed with the prototype. I fully understand that the intent is to improve upon it so hopefully this proves as an opportunity to say what needs improvement.
I'm not a huge GOT freak but the best thing about GOT is Dinkledge by a mile, so I'm really happy to see the character is the first offering as opposed to some obscure thing like they did with the walking dead.
The biggest problem with what is shownhere is that the sculpt, likeness, clothing, plastic choice and especially paint work isn't up to par with what this community expects from 1/6 offerings it looks like a toy and not in the good way, now I know three zero has some kinks to work out but I beg them not to rush out product until they work these kinks out. Almost for their own sake if anything, sitting on two licences that are huge, I don't know how they got it and from their work thus far, it's kind of unfortunate they did but it just means the pressure is on. If they knock it out of the park they can be catapulted into superstardom and be a worthy competitor of hot toys, Enterbay makes great product but don't get all the top licences or if they do hot toys just gets them and does it better and this squashes them. Hot toys is a sitting duck right now if you ask me, they are churning out iron mans and no doubt making money off it but they are neglecting other properties. Sure they don't need to do a license like the crow which is why they did a **** job on it, it makes them no money. They are neglecting a huge portion of the market and it doesn't exist in obscure cult licences like the crow or even flavour of the month things like the Robocop reboot, but these tv shows with scifi or geek culture roots are a fricking gold mine because of their mass and international appeal. GOT and Walking Dead can be a massive gold mine but you are targeting the most fickle market in collecting here three zero, far more than statue collectors or seven inch figure collectors. Your product needs to be astounding because the lisence you carry is simply not enough, if your product is not up to the level of your competition or close it's better to stick to statues and busts or figures where the expectation of detail accuracy and realism is not as high.
There zero you need to do better, don't drop the ball here.
Right now they are sitting at the same level as Asmus, totally a waste the LOTR license went to them because the product is sub par.
This may sound overly harsh because the company says they intend to improve and what's shown is just rough, that's great and all but I worry because the Merle to the Robocop to this Dinkledge has not shown any improvement at all and a questionable level of excellence.
Not quite sure how I feel about it right now, but it's just one prototype pic so no need to worry.
A few things that bug me, as others have mentioned:
1. Head seems a bit small
2. Not enough blonde in the hair
3. Shoes/feet seem a bit small
4 The patterns cut out in the suit seem way too large.
All in all though I think it looks good. Very interested to see the price and accessories. I don't think it should be over $150 based on what we've seen so far.

I'm sorry but you're insulting as hell. For someone who says they are giving "constructive" criticism all you seem to be doing is bashing the companies. The LOTR license may deserve "great" but being as no one was beating down the door to get it I will gladly settle for good. The Witch King turned out great, right out of the box. The body is lacking but they realize that and are taking steps to remedy that. If you think the released pics of Gandalf are no good then I think the problem is you and not that manufacturers. Anything short of perfection is not good enough for you.Hence my point about "nothing is better" plus AcI also has the lisence, not that they are that much better of a company.
"Fine" isn't good enough for me. That lisence deserves "great" even something without the worry of likeness and human realism like the witch king turned out poorly and needed heavy mods to look half decent, the gandalf.. Not good! Poor likeness not do great paint dated looking sculpting, we will wait until it's released for final opinion but it's looking dim.
You guys nit pic too much. If the hair needs more blond...paint it. For the PRICE its well worth it in my opinion...That is if its around the same price as TWD.
Sheesh. Harsh. So far I think Asmus is doing fine. Witch King was pretty awesome. The body sucked but everything else was pretty great. Besides, I paid $150 for mine. I lucked out with the body too. I think most people were happy with the Witch King. Plus, I keep hearing excitement and anticipation for future figures from them.Gothmog looks great and Gandalf looks good too. The likeness is off but its no more off than some of these HT and Rain man figures.
Ok, now what was your issue with the Pets? They look simply excellent. Its not what I would have expected for a first release but they're not THAT weird. They are THE iconic zombies from WD from way back in the comics.
