I'm going to have to get every one of these, although Dany's face isn't looking right to me in that pic. Arya is the one I'm most excited for.

As for QC, I've only had one bad experience and that was poor Tyrion who's arms remained in the tray when I took him out. Both sockets were gooped with glue so it looked like they were broken at the factory and the worker tried to glue them, unless it was pre-owned and whoever had it before me broke & glued him.

The main issue I've noticed is frozen joints, which are usually frozen because of paint. If you don't force them to move they shouldn't break. If you get a frozen joint just put the figure in the freezer or very hot water (not quite boiling) for a few minutes and then gently try to move the joint. The heat or cold should help free it. With the second Tyrion I got, one shoulder was completely immobile until I let him soak in hot water and now it works perfectly. This isn't something you'll have to do every time you want to pose the figure - once the joint is free it should stay that way.

Overall I think a few frozen joints are pretty easy to overlook with this line (just my opinion) when everything else is so good. The paintjobs are amazing, the sculpted detail is incredible and the articulation is, for the most part, plentiful.

Actually just hitting it with a hair dryer for a minute will loosen up things nicely.

Here's a pic for scale. Looks pretty good
