It’s Black Friday, and that means that most of us are suffering from a post-Thanksgiving day hangover, fueled by a tryptophan induced coma and too much pre-Christmas eggnog. So, in the spirit of the season, WiCnet will be bringing you some of our favorite Game of Thrones holiday gift ideas, which we hope will help you remember the real reason for the season: Jon Snow will be back in Season 6, and that’s plenty of reason to celebrate…right?
Today’s Game of Thrones holiday gift idea comes courtesy of Todd McFarlane and McFarlane Toys. In partnership with HBO, the legendary creator of Spawn has created several construction sets featuring some of the most iconic Game of Thrones locations and scenes that even the most casual of Game of Thrones fan will recognize.
For now, there are three sets available for the launch of the McFarlane Game of Thrones construction sets, which will feature construction sets, expansion packs, and figure blind bags. From the McFarlane Toys press release:
- Construction Sets: MSRP $14.99-49.99 – Depicting the most outstanding moments from your Game of Thrones, including the Iron Throne Room, Mother of Dragons and Attack on the Wall, each set includes scene specific characters, stunning details and realistic accessories.
- Construction Figure Packs: MSRP $9.99 – Starter packs featuring Houses Stark and Lannister with your favorite house armies, complete with house banner and sigil.
- Construction Set Figures: MSRP $3.99 – Twelve buildable blind bag figures inspired by characters from Game of Thrones. Each 2-inch scale figure includes an environment base, and humans include articulated body parts.
- Series 1: #1 Tyrion Lannister; #2 Jon Snow ; #3 Daenerys Targaryen; #4 Grey Worm; #5 Ghost; #6 Rhaegal; #7 Unsullied; #8 Crow; #9 Kingsguard; #10 Wildling (w/ Axe); #11 Wildling (w/ Spear) and #12 Wight.
These sets were first unveiled at the San Diego Comic Con, and have been received very well from fans of both Game of Thrones and Todd McFarlane. I can tell you first hand that the sets are incredibly detailed and actually very fun and easy to assemble. McFarlane Toys sent me the Joffrey Iron Throne room scene to assemble and review, and the ost time I spent on the set, was positioning the diorama in the best spot in my Game of Thrones collection…it’s that good. Here’s a video of the set being assembled:
So, if you are wondering what to get that special Game of Thrones fan on your Christmas/Holiday list, or if you’re just looking to treat yourself, then I highly suggest taking a look at the McFarlane Game of Thrones construction sets, as I can personally attest that you and they will not be disappointed.
