The “King of the Night†is ICM’s tenth 1/16th scale-figure release. And the experience gained in this scale to-date is plainly evident in this offering!
The subject, once seen, hardly needs introduction. . . perhaps it would be more recognizable as “The Night Kingâ€? As in the leader of the White Walkers and the Army of the Dead in HBO’s “Game of Thronesâ€. . .
It is comprised of 21 pieces: 17 grey (the figure); 1 clear (the ice sword); and 3 black (the pedestal). The casting quality is VG+++: crisp and uniform finish and no flash--or seams!--to speak of. Fit is Good+ throughout, though patience and banding/taping will be amply rewarded. I have encountered none of the assembly and/or fit problems mentioned in other reviews of this kit.
You will be largely on your own insofar as assembly and painting are concerned. There is no assembly guide as such, and the painting guide is rudimentary at best. I would advise clean thoroughly; dry-fit twice, glue once--and rewatch your favourite episodes featuring the Night King. . .!
This is a VG+++ figure: 8.5-9/10. While not quite worthy of 5 stars, it is a solid 4 1/2. I do have some issues with the design of the armour, but it does not significantly detract from the overall appearance or effect. This figure is quite suitable for a beginner with basic modelling skills who is observant, patient, and passionate.
ENJOY!
