So why the big feet then?
I doubt seriously that 30 would include larger feet to offset the lack of stands. And I would also be very surprised if things like this, and the crude/stylized hands on Tyrion slipped by the 30 folks as they reviewed prototypes, or were cost-cutting moves somehow. Instead, I suspect these are intentional stylistic choices. Wong is a co-owner of ThreeA, after all, and likely has an affinity for some of these stylistic touches.

^ What he said.
I doubt his hands were a stylistic choice. Why would they make his hands the only thing stylized? If his head or feet were like that, then maybe. I don't see why they would do something artsy on a figure of a real person. The 3A hands don't even look like Tyrion's, if I remember correctly. My guess is they just messed up his hands and never bothered to fix them.

Exactly. The giant boots are the first thing I noticed on the original PO pics.
Jaime looks to have his own issue, that necks stands out. Wrong color and no texture at all. All the detail on the armor and they let something like that slip past.
Yeah, kinda feels like an oversight to me, too. Tyrion's feet are actually a little too small.
I don't know, Threezero has been at this a long time, and I think they know very well what they're doing.

Most likely they look small because Tyrion is too big/tall.
Is that an intentional stylistic choice too?
I think the bottom line is 3Z isn't perfect, no figure company has put out a perfect figure. This discussion could go on forever with everyone nitpicking and defending 3Z/3A's style.

Every design decision is intentional, whether it's right or wrong, it's not like the figure size or foot size was a production error because they baked the PVC too long or left the windows open or someone tripped the switch to the enlargement ray-gun.

It's not an excuse by any means, but considering they have ignored all complaints about the shoe and glove size AND we're three figures in that have this issue....I can't see another reason other than downright daftness.

You and I almost always agree Pixel. Today I feel betrayed. [emoji14]
You say every design choice is intentional. So based on that, why are we intentionally: ignoring customer complaints about foot size even after they've adjusted things like Ghost or Ned due to them and now have consistently put out 3 figures in a row with the enlarged feet? Something doesn't add up there. I really don't think there is a simple mistake of "that looks normal" or something. It just doesn't add up. And I just can't see (but I could be sorely mistaken) a company as big as 3Z NOT being able to comprehend such a small thing.
So as you say, it's intentional. But why is the debate.
I'd even be willing to go a step back and just say it's for stability, forget the stands. That would be an intentional design choice.

I can't even fathom why originally, but for Snow, it's likely because they re-used Ned's feet.

I hope they eventually make a Wildling figure. But until then, mine will have to suffice.
