I must admit that I got on-board the Game of Thrones hype train very late, having only started watching it a few months before the release of Season 6. But like many before I couldn't help but cram as many episodes as I could into each day I was watching it because it had me that hooked! Now I'm one of those annoying people who can't stop talking about it and tries to convert others!
So of course when a model and magazine collection was announced I was buzzing! I am unashamedly someone who is quite material, so something that combined that and Game of Thrones was always going to be a winner for me, so I have decided to subscribe! That was a number of months ago now, but I have recently decided that I would like to share my collection with anyone who is interested! No I'm not going to be giving you figures, (at £10 each it is not a cheap collection), but I have decided to take pictures of each model and give a little review of each one. The magazines aren't really very much to write about, they are interesting but all have very much the same level of content, so this blog is going to focus on the figures only. I will giving me general opinion on each one as well as judging them in the following categories :-
- Quality: how well made each figure is and how good the paint job is.
- Realism: how clear it is what character is supposed to be.
- Pose: How good the position of the figure is.
I have made a decision to leave all of my figures in their original packaging.
Also as a subscriber I will be getting all of the special issues as well as the gifts for subscribing, and as I pay an extra £1.50 per issue for a premium subscription I will also be able to review the free gifts that that involves.
Overall I just wanted a place where I can showcase the collection and give some of my thoughts on it. At the time of writing this introduction I have just received issue 11, so I will be needing to do a little backlogging to catch up! Issues are realised 2 a month. Until I have caught up I will putting up a post every week, when I have caught up, posts will be every two weeks!
Thanks for reading! If you have any feedback or want to share your thoughts on anything to do with the Collection or Game of Thrones in general feel free to comment!
PLEASE NOTE: This blog is going to be completely spoiler free, so it doesn't matter if you are completely caught up or are just starting season 1, in the posts I will be discussing the figures, NOT the show or books. The only spoiler will be the names of the characters!
