Wow, soon the whole cast of the series will be available in miniatures. I already love to play with them in my spare time and continue the story beyond the storyarch of "A Feast for Crows". With enough imagination, it is easy to continue the story up to the "Winds of Winter". I actually use my dinosaur miniatures as stand-ins for the wildlings mammoths.
Is there a plan how many of the main and minor protagonists will be available as miniatures? And any plans on Wild Card characters miniatures or action figures ?

I too hope to see more minor characters immortalized in greenstuff. Perhaps Lommy Greenhands or Mord.
Space is bookmarked and I will certainly be keeping a close eye on all related miniature information. Thanks, Ser!
On another note, I hope to see Ice and Fire Legos one day. Since buying the new calendar of castles (2011) I've been wanting to make miniature castles of my own. And for the first time I'd love to see an HBO production make it so big Happy Meal toys are released. Girls can get plastic Sansa and Aryas w/ dire wolf accessories, and boys Bran and Robb w/ swords and bows. Of course, Ice and Fire is most certainly adult/ R-rated fare, so that'll never happen. But I can dream.

Ice and Fire legos would be awesome, and the sheer number of sets would be incredible. Trying to build Harrenhall or The Eeyrie would be really fun, and a nice way to while away the months between books. I think these awesome looking miniatures might cause me to get back into collecting again, a habit I stopped about 15 years ago, which seems like forever. While a plastic Sansa would be nice, I think it might be bought by more boys than girls;)
Where can we find these miniatures? Does Dark Sword have a website? Will there be miniatures with the faces of the actors playing the characters in the HBO series, or are they all unique to the artist? I realize that the first miniatures were probably cast decades before the HBO series was cast. How much input do you have in designing the miniatures or the poses/scenes that are cast? Do you get to approve them? Do you get to request certain scenes? Thinking of Shae, etc., are all the miniatures G rated?
Sorry for all the questions. This is a whole new world to me. I think they it is pretty awesome though...most of the miniatures I have seen before have not been related to a specific book but were made for D&D, etc.

General Kenobi. Years ago, you served my father in the Clone Wars. Now he begs you to help him in his struggle against the Empire. I regret that I am unable to present my father's request to you in person, but my ship has fallen under attack and I'm afraid my mission to bring you to Alderaan has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of the Rebellion into the memory systems of this R2 unit. My father will know how to retrieve it. You must see this droid safely delivered to him in Alderaan. This is our most desperate hour. Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. You're my only hope.
He looks just like how I pictured him in the books. Its perfect! I used to make miniatures like this for a while. I was actually pretty good at it. I have four of them sitting on my desk right now that I made a long time ago. These pictures make me want to start again--I got distracted after a while and never got back into making them. Maybe I can turn one of my unfinished dwarfs into a Tyrion

*the piece is beautiful though. I'm always awed by sculpting at that scale.
