Hi to everyone on PF,
Unless you have been living in another universe than you would have heard of the series and now a film based on the series called Game of Thrones . Many characters have evolved from G.O.T none more so than one of the female leads , the character played by Emilia Clarke ...known as The Mother of Dragons after she hatched 3 dragons in a funeral pyre , walking into the flames to rescue the hatchlings .
This is the 4th release from Nuts Planet based on characters in the series the others being Hand the Imp which I also shared with you recently. and of course Tywin Lannister and Jon Snow.
The base is the normal pedestal type , fit (pin it!!) is good , a swipe of filler might be needed if you so wish .
The torso is a nice piece of work in all area's , delicately worked resulting in a challenge to paint the skin tones and of course the hair ...have a look at the website for great pictures to inspire you.

As with other releases from NutsPlanet we find the parts well protected sandwiched between foam with the smaller pieces held in a plastic bag . On the distinctive blue box we have the usual great pictures of the box art on the top and the sides.
What are we looking at :
Title: Mother of Dragons
Referenece: NP-B011
Scale: 1/10th
Material: Gray Resin
No of pieces: 11
Sculptor: Hyun-Ju Kim
Box Art painted by: Myeong-Ha Hwang
There are as stated 11 parts all in resin , these consist of the actual "Mother" and the Dragaon , the Mother consists of 4 pieces, the torso , the head , the back of the hair and the necklace ornament. The Dragon consisting of the torso , 2 wings , 2 feet , and the tail , in addition we have a pedestal base also provided.
In this review we will look at the 2 subjects separately in this part firstly the human element...Mother.
Prep needed was the removal of casting plugs from the torso underside leaving a very smooth finish when done, underneath we also have a area to locate the base. On the head we will need to remove the casting plug running under the neck , as as with the Imp once done fit is really good.
The long hairpiece will need the formers cut away , with sanding fit is good with perhaps a swipe of filler if you consider it so needed.
Then we have the necklace ornament , a quick cut with the modelling knife will remove the small plug fit inbetween the cleavage is again good...and enjoyable to do!!!
Looking firstly at the torso , the impression is of a long neck , this seems to look a more natural height once the hair is fitted , the neck is slender with good muscular tones being worked on this as well as the upper chest area , very well defined ...leading down to her breasts these are sculpted as per the film and held safely in with her clothing which has a surface work on it also .
Around her neck we have the necklace leading down to a small locating cut out for the ornament.
The dress she wears has very delicate folds worked , all pulling and sitting in the right area's if you understand my thinking!!! the material is over her shoulder, the small sleeves having nice undercuts, leading to the beautifully thin arms of this subject , the form of the shoulder blades are nicely shown under the material at the back.
It is my opinion that this is a lot better clothed as a bust and I am pleased that NutsPlanet chose not to release her naked as seen in the film also.
The head now , this is in one word fabulous , an amazing likeness of the actress , beautiful facial features really delicately done , lips are slightly pouting IMO and very nice they look!!!, the hair is pulled back in the style of the subject , finely plaited twice on both sides leading to the long hair.
The main hair piece now fit under the head plaits being very clean and tidy , the hair cascades down her back and over her right shoulder in a very natural form , nice surface details. the addition of this leads to well worked complete hair piece....well detailed as said and fun to paint the blonde as well
Finally in this bit the necklace ornament , in the shape of a claw , nicely formed and with fit at the bottom of the actual necklace being very good.
