Today I got my first batch of B&N.com figures (after the ones I got in-store because of impatience didn't work out so well). I hot-boxed them all, and worked on the joints... and they are PERFECT!
I love my Dany, actually. I think she looks a ton like Emilia Clark at this point. Just a subtle different here and there. I feel like she looks less like her, even in my own pics, than in real life, which is weird. Her lower arm was backwards, so after heating I turned it and she was fine. Her feet WERE on backwards, too, but I was able to pop those out and swap them with no issues.
This was my first Tyrion, as I didn't find him in-store. One of my favorites of the line! SO impressive. He's probably the best of the line likeness-wise. I love the paint job on his armor. Now, when I got him, his legs looked like this, and I thought he had been mis-assembled:
But, chatting with some friends we realized his shin parts are actually on backwards! The ties should be at the back. I heated him up, then twisted the shins around, and then twisted the ankle peg, and now he's just fine:
Am I still worried about the clear pegs? Yes. But, now that I've heated and loosened everything up, I'm definitely less worried about it, since I think the paint stuck joints were at least part of the issue.
I will say the beard on Tyrion is a bit perplexing. At the most, I think it should be more stuble. And Dinklage has dark beard hair. But, the likeness is still great.
Got my Tyrion cancellation and the the Hound cancellation a few minutes later.
