Dark Horse Deluxe Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen Mother of Dragons Figure

Super high quality ,in the same vein as the previous Game of Thrones lineup by Dark Horse. Looks like a little bit larger version of Daenerys than the first one, a nice size that doesn't take up much room, whether you leave it boxed or not, as the new box saves a lot of space as well. Worth the cost for an excellent figure. Very well painted and virtually unbreakable due to the use of vinyl. Fine likeness to the actual actress and character.

I purchased this item for $34 including tax, which appears to be $27 now with addition of tax. No big deal.Overall, the design is beautiful. It doesn't look 100% like Daenerys but its >90%. I think this is a beautiful mold compared to some of the more expensive version. The design is detailed and elegant. Overall, I am happy with this purchase. It adds to my GOT collection. Now, I wish some of the other characters are just as cheap as this one.

Very high quality, more than I expected for this price point. Comes with a nice base to hold her up, you don’t need to worry about setting up a stand.Picture next to a funko pop for scale.

Loving my Dark Horse Deluxe collection - they are VERY true to character and posed beautifully. As you can see, I've already purchased 3!

Review: Daenerys Targaryen – Mother of Dragons FigureThe Daenerys Targaryen Mother of Dragons figure stands as an impressive tribute to one of television’s most iconic characters. Whether you’re a dedicated Game of Thrones collector or simply a fan of the Khaleesi herself, this figure has a strong presence—but how does it truly measure up, particularly in sculpt, paint, and likeness to Emilia Clarke?Sculpt & Pose:The sculpt is arguably the figure’s strongest feature. Every detail, from the flowing hair to the fine textures of her attire, demonstrates craftsmanship. The pose—often capturing Daenerys in a moment of calm authority with a baby dragon perched on her arm or shoulder—reflects her evolving power and grace. Her signature braided Targaryen hairstyle is beautifully rendered, and the folds in her outfit feel dynamic and weighty. The dragons themselves (depending on the edition) are finely detailed with scaled skin and wing texture, adding depth to the overall display.Likeness to Emilia Clarke:This is where the figure gets a bit complicated. From a moderate distance, the facial sculpt does resemble Emilia Clarke—with recognizable features like her cheekbones, lips, and stern-but-compassionate gaze. However, the accuracy isn't flawless. Close-up, the face can sometimes veer slightly into the uncanny valley depending on the lighting and angle. The expression chosen is subtle and serene, perhaps a bit too restrained for Daenerys’ often intense emotional range. It’s clear that the sculptor aimed to honor Clarke’s features, but the final execution lands somewhere between stylized realism and idealized likeness.Paint Application:The paintwork is solid, but varies depending on the production run. Skin tones are generally smooth and well-blended, avoiding the waxy finish that plagues many figures. Eye detail is sharp with little to no bleed—though again, slight misalignments can occur on certain units. Her platinum-blonde hair has tasteful shading to avoid flatness, and the costume is painted with a muted palette that complements the sculpt’s realism. The dragons are often a highlight here—painted with rich gradients and metallic accents that make them pop.Final Thoughts:Overall, the Mother of Dragons figure is a strong addition to any Game of Thrones display. The attention to costume detail, dragon sculpting, and overall posture do justice to the character. While the facial likeness to Emilia Clarke isn't perfect, it’s close enough to be recognizable and respectful. For fans looking for a centerpiece with personality and presence, this figure delivers.Rating: 8.5/10

For a collector you will not find a higher quality item to put on display. I am a very particular person and this was quite impressive and brought significant joy to the recipient.

Great detail, color and contrast. Arrived as expected. Boxed in perfect for those who collect. Bought for our son for Christmas and we were all very pleased.

I have two figures of Daenerys. This one looks more like her than the other one I have (the one with eggs on her hands). Very happy with the item.
