DARK HORSE UNVEILS TYRION STATUE

THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE GAME OF THRONES® COLLECTIBLES LINE!

SEPTEMBER 5, 2012, MILWAUKIE, OR - When looking for a key moment to immortalize as the second sculptural piece in Dark Horse's highly coveted line of Game of Thrones collectibles, Dark Horse turned to none other than writer/producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss for the most "statueworthy" moment in the then-unaired second season.

The two chose the memorable scene when Tyrion, as portrayed by Peter Dinklage, charges into battle, leading the defense of King's Landing against an assault by King Stannis Baratheon in the Battle of the Blackwater. They further assisted with special photographic reference taken during filming, expressly for use as sculpture reference for the piece.
