Dark Horse is kicking things off for Toy Fair with the reveal of the latest release in its growing line of figures based on characters from the smash-hit HBO series Game of Thrones!

Daenerys Targaryen, the last noble of her house, is on a path to reclaim her destiny in Game of Thrones. She has emerged as one of the series’ best-loved characters.Dark Horse Deluxe has focused on an iconic moment of Daenerys and her dragon, Drogon, to create an elaborately detailed pre-painted limited-edition statue measuring 14” across and 18” from front to back.

“Our previous large-scale Game of Thrones statues sold out shortly after release, ” said Dark Horse product development head David Scroggy. “We saw pieces like our 14” Iron Throne replica, and the Jon Snow & Ghost statue going out-of-print quickly, becoming hard to find at any price. We expect the Daenerys & Drogon statue to be just as popular and we’re very excited to unveil it at Toy Fair.”

The prototype will be revealed at the Dark Horse booth #4837 at Toy Fair 2015, held February 14-17 at Jacob Javits Center in New York City. The limited-edition quantity is still to be determined as of press time.

Daenerys & Drogon will be packaged in full color oversize collector box. Release date is estimated summer 2015. Suggested retail price is $424.99.

He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
