"Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons!"

I received my pre-order of the 2017 ThreeZero Daenerys Targaryen figure (ThreeZero Store Exclusive) today. What makes the ThreeZero Store exclusive different from the "regular" release is that Daenerys comes with all three of her dragons: Drogon, Viserion, and Rhaegal, as opposed to just Drogon.

What immediately impressed me before even seeing the figure was the nice presentation of the packaging itself. The brown shipper is incredibly sturdy and protective, with the contents labeled. My box indicates that it is carton #310, which although there is no CoA with these it is sort of a numbering system, though I have no idea how many of these were actually produced. The figure's box is protected by a decorated slip cover with a textured relief of the three-headed dragon emblem of the Hours of Targaryen, the embossed words "Fire and Blood Targaryen," and the Game of Thrones logo and Daenerys' name in red metallic foil. There is a sticker indicating that this is the ThreeZero Store Exclusive.

Inside, the figure and all of her accessories are very carefully arranged in moulded nesting trays. They are separated by Daenerys and her accessories in the top layer, and the three dragons with their accessories underneath. All together, the contents include: Daenerys, her blue tunic-dress, gray pants, light gray boots, blue cloak, and armlet, a bracelet, a black "leather" breastplate, the Unsullied Harpy Whip, two extra sets of interchangeable hands, Drogon, Viserion, Rhaegal, a tall stand for one of the dragons, and a short stand for one of the dragons.

I am most interested in Daenerys and her dragons, so I left most of the accessories in the packaging while I posed and photographed the characters.

Daenerys' head sculpt is very detailed and lifelike. Her likeness to Emilia Clarke is not as good as it could have been, but you can totally tell that this is Daenerys. Unfortunately, she has the somewhat blank "staring off into the distance" expression. Since this figure is inspired by the very scene where she frees the Unsullied, a happy or smiling expression would probably not have been appropriate. She has rooted platinum blonde hair that is neatly styled with thin braids and soft waves. Her body is fully articulated, allowing for a variety of nice poses. She does not have visible elbow joints, which is nice, but her wrist joints are visible. She can stand on her own without a stand.

The dragons are amazing and very nicely detailed. Drogon (black and red) is of course the biggest, as he should be. His wings are spread out wide and he is letting loose a fierce growl. Rhaegal (green and gold) is following suit with his wings partially spread and also growling. Little Viserion (cream/gold and red) is in a much calmer pose with his wings in a relaxed position and a sweet expression. They colored Viserion a little more brown than he should be, but he's still adorable. Both Drogon and Rhaegal can balance on Daenerys' outstretched arm, which is nice. So far I have been unable to balance Viserion on her arm, but he is also the only dragon that can sit on a flat surface properly (Drogon and Rhaegal tip over on a flat surface).

By and large, Daenerys and her dragons are my favorites from the show, and like many I am immensely saddened by Viserion's fate, but at least these figures capture a very triumphant moment for them.

I need to locate my ThreeZero Dragon Age Alistair figure from storage and pose him next to Daenerys and her dragons...
