DARK HORSE OFFICIALLY UNVEILS THE GAME OF THRONES® WHITE WALKER STATUE!
This highly anticipated collectible featured in Diamond Comics Distributors’ September-dated PREVIEWS catalog!
Dark Horse just sent over a press release featuring THIS bad boy:
Aw, yeah. That’s friggin’ awesome. Dark Horse’s Game of Thrones items continue to impress the hell out of me. Anyone who wants to be my best friend knows what to get me for Christmas. See the press release after the jump.
MILWAUKIE, OR, JUNE 17–Following its “sneak” debut to the industry at this year’s Toy Fair International, Game of Thrones fans have been clamoring for an official release date, and images of HBO® and Dark Horse’s White Walker statue.
Arriving at finer comic shops, bookstores, and specialty retailers on December 18, 2013, the White Walker is a hand-painted, numbered limited edition collectible. Each bust is packaged in full-color collector box, will include a numbered certificate of authenticity. Retail price is $124.99.
White Walkers, or the Others, are a fierce mythological race who are seldom seen as they lurk and prey in their land in the frozen north of Westeros. The Wall was constructed ages ago to keep them isolated. This evil creature speaks in cracked tones and brandishes a deadly icy weapon, as immortalized in this beautiful collectible piece.
“The first appearance of the White Walker was the climax of the show’s second season,” Dark Horse’s David Scroggy recalled. “We thought that would be a perfect image to seize. We used exotic resins to simulate his ice spear, and will also re-create the striking blue luminosity of his piercing eyes. Game of Thrones is one of the best television sagas ever, and we owe it to the audience to capture every detail. Hopefully, we’ve succeeded.”

iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she
can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and
she has 83 views. I know this is totally off
topic but I had to share it with someone!
I was curious if you ever considered changing the layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect
with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Firefox. I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.
