Description: When Dark Horse began developing a line of collectible sculptural pieces based on HBO’s Game of Thrones, it discovered that it had the full attention of all involved in the production.

The answer was the moment 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.
