Diamond Select Toys reveals new Game of Thrones releases

Posted on by

Winter is coming! Yes, yes, we’ve heard it a million times, but this winter will bring more than just freezing temperatures and undead armies – it’ll bring a brand-new line of collectibles based on the hit TV series Game of Thrones!

Diamond Select Toys has secured the license for Game of Thrones and will launch a line of Gallery Dioramas at the end of 2023. Starting with Jon Snow, the line will cover the main characters of the series, each captured at approximately 1/8 scale in high-quality PVC.

In the inaugural sculpture, Jon Snow crouches, sword at the ready, as his injured direwolf Ghost looks on. Both are in their Season 8 appearances, and this piece measures 10 inches to the tip of Jon’s sword. It comes packaged in a full-color window box, and was designed by Nelson X. Asencio and sculpted by Ed Trujillo.
