POGO PG1051-1062: Wave 2 of Game of Thrones Minifigs Review

The set of 12 was previewed here!


Group shot!


From L - R:
PG1055 - Catelyn Stark
PG1057 - Cersei Lannister
PG1053 - Sansa Stark

I'm not a huge fan of the patterns, but I guess they help distinguish the characters. The faces are one of the better types of faces, compared to XINH's off faces at times. Plastic quality is great too. No problems here, POGO.


Only Cersei has side printing.


None of them have alternate faces. As in none of these 12 have alternate faces.


At least they've got back printing even if they have capes!


For these ladies though, the attachment of the torso to the legs/skirt are kinda loose.. Maybe kragle will help?


From L - R:
PG1054 - Robb Stark
PG1052 - Arya Stark
PG1051 - Jon Snow

I personally prefer the old Jon Snow, but this isn't bad at all. The printing for Robb though is a bit too bright or cheesy for me. It kinda goes against GoT's dark looks, but the detailing and the application is great! I love the Arya fig though, I think the fig captures here easily.


Back printing.


Dany, Drogo, and Ned Stark. JK!


From L - R:
PG1060 - Daenerys Targaryen
PG1061 - Khal Drogo
PG1062 - Ned Stark

Yes, Ned Stark comes with a body. I know everyone would've preferred his northern look and not his Hand of the King look but hey, at least he's easily recognizable with his look. Daenerys looks great, I think the fig captures here easily too. For Khal Drogo though, the fig could pass as any Dothraki member; although that doesn't mean the minifig is bad because I think it's great, I just think the older one captures the look better than this one.


Closer look at Khaleesi's broken lips. The only issue I have with this set (other than preference and loose skirt pieces).


Drogo's sword.


Back printing.


From L - R:
PG1056 - Tyrion Lannister
PG1059 - Petyr Baelish
PG1058 - Jamie Lannister

Again, Tyrion and Jamie seem too bright, contrary to GoT's dark theme. Tyrion's torso is too red and Jamie's torso looks kinda like it came from a fairy tale + that yellow sword is just ridiculous. Baelish on the other hand, I couldn't really differentiate him except with the cup for some reason. I'm no fan of the patterns on his torso, but the application is great too.

Back prints.

TL;DR - The set is worth getting, but also look at the older set and choose which ones you prefer and/or mix and match the new and old ones.

I was surprised that I got the 12 of 12 in one visit. AngeloMarcus Greenhills usually releases per fig, as in 3 of 8 of set A could be out now then the 2 of 8 the next week then the remaining 3 of 8 the next next, but for this one, all 12 was out so quickly. I guess that's not really AngeloMarcus' job anymore, but the supplier's. So good job to the supplier for getting the full 12 immediately and good job to AngeloMarcus Greenhills for releasing these asap!
