"Across The Red Waste. . . "

"Mother of Dragons" was awaiting me this afternoon. Thanks are in order to Chuck/The Red Lancers for the excellent service! Hardly surprising, but nonetheless VERY appreciated!!

"Mother of Dragons" is the fourth 1/10th scale bust of a Game of Thrones' subject released by NutsPlanet. Sculpted by Hyun-Ji Kim, the breakdown of the 11-piece kit is as follows:
  • Daenerys: head, torso, the fall of hair, and the "claw"(?) pendant. 
  • Drogon: body, wings (x2), feet (x2) and the tail.
The 11th piece is the standard NP display riser/pedestal--which I will in all probability discard-- along with the "claw" pendant.

The casting, packaging, etc. is everything we have come to expect from the NutsPlanet team: SUPERB!

In spite of what others have said, there are no options when it comes to painting the dragon. Only one of the siblings ever "rode" on Dany's shoulders, and that was Drogon. Period.

My reservations about the concept of this bust have been clearly stated here. As presented, I cannot recommend this bust. That being said, it is the ideal base for virtually any iteration of the last Targaryen claimant to the Iron Throne. . . and she will be on the bench before the day is over!
