Game of thrones: Series 1

Funko vinyl Pop! Game of thrones 1-6

 


The game of thrones figures have been amazing. They are detailed enough to obviously represent there respective characters. Though they all retain the Funko pop! ascetic.

Wave 1:

Just click on the figures name to open there page.








 




01 Tyrion Lannister                                                                                    02 Ned Stark                         















03 Daenerys Targaryen                                                                               04 Khal Drogo

   













05 The Hound                                                                                            06 White Walker




  Limited Editions/Exclusives:

There is a variant of the White Walker that glows in the dark.
These limited release GITD white Walker seem to be exclusive to a Canadian retailer, previously unknown to me, called HMV. Through some Google searching it also seems HMV may now have gone into receivership.
I do not know if this GITD figure is also a limited edition, if you know please comment.
Update: I now have this figure, see here. Thanks to an ebay flipper and a very kind friend who dealt with the flipper so i could have one.

  Verdict:

I have to say i am very happy with the first wave. As my first foray into the wide world of Funko pop! i am pleased and have no regrets diving in. So if i had to pick my most and least faverate of this wave i would be torn , as i do not dislike any of them.

Best figure:  Daenerys Targaryen
Least figure:  White Walker

Daenerys Targaryen was chosen because it was her who initially made me decide to but some Funko pop!
The White Walker was chosen purely for the spear; being a little bent at the base and not coming with an ice tip.


  The One That Got Away:

The GITD White Walker eludes my capture. I am resigned to the fact that i shall never get him. I do wish Funko wouldn't make us turn to evil eBay flippers in order to complete our collection. Its not like i can just pop over to Canada to get one.
There is a 2013 spoiler figure.



Whats next: 

Wave: 2

The next wave of these figures have been announced and look absolutely amazing.
We continue the line with two members of the Stark family, Robb Stark and Arya Stark.
We also have a rather dashing Jon Snow as the bastard in the black.
Horribly included in wave two are Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister who will be separated by Tyrion on my shelf, to prevent any shenanigans.
Last but definitely not least, the one figure fans have been begging for Renly Baratheon!

What will the exclusive(s) be? I know a lot of people will be hoping for a shaved Renly.
What would you like to see?
