14 Gollum

"My precious, I wants it!"

Gollum

Gollum was a character in the Hobbit and its sequel The Lord of The Rings. 

Spoiler Warning: (If you have been living in a cave with a ring as your only entertainment)

Gollum was originally a Hobbit of the river folk called Smeagol, he was corrupted by his precious one ring.

Gollum is the 14th Movies funko pop! and one of the 3 in the first Hobbit wave.

While his is one of the most under clothed figures, Gollum manages to pull off  the scrap of cloth as a loincloth look to perfection. He has dark rings around his eyes, but his pointed toofy smile gives him a rather happy look. The hands are creepily detailed, actually they freak me out in a "room full of dolls" kind of way.he does not have his ring.

Here he is reminiscing about Middle-earth with Tyrion Lannister from a Game of Thrones.

As a reward for keeping still, and not biting anyone, during this photo shoot, Gollum has his choice of one ring.

Here is a quick video review:

 SPOILER WARNING

The third figure in the Game of Thrones line is the one that convinced me to purchase these Funko figures. Daenerys Targaryen.

Game of Thrones by HBO is based on the George R.R. Martin book series, A Song of Ice and Fire. 

A Game of Thrones tells the story of noble houses in a fantasy medieval world.

Daenerys (Dany) is the last of the noble Targaryen house, the true and legitimate rulers of Westeros. Currently a khaleesi (war-leader) of the Dothraki (horseman tribe). She intends to take back her family's lost empire and rule justly.

The box art is gorgeous and has a pretty good depiction of the actual figure.

 

 Danny's face is a cutesie version of her, her clothing is true to the show and leaves little doubt who this figure represents. The hair also has nice braided details and extensions at the front.

 

Dany does not come alone perched on her arm is Drogon her favorite dragon, who is named after Khal Drogo her husband. Drogon is absolutely adorable and really completes the figure. It might have been cooler for her to have all three, one on her back and one in her hair perhaps, but she does not.

Here she is with Ned Stark and Tyrion Lannister for comparison. As you can see they look very nice together.

Here she is with Khal Drogo and don't they make an adorable couple.

First Post

"Hi"

Welcome to my blog, here i will discuss and show off various Funko pop figures.

I will show news and reviews.

Feel free to comment, like and join in the fun.

What is a Funko Pop?

Funko pop vinyl are little window boxed figures that stand 3.75 inches tall. They are low cost designer toys aimed at the collector. These figures have a very "Kawaii" or stylised cutesy look to them.

The Funko pop vinyl range has a lot of licences, you can find superheros from Batman and Wonder Woman to the Avengers. They have characters from the Yule movie Gremlins to the hilarious Beetlejuice. 
You could easily stand Sandy from Grease beside Freddy from Friday the 13th on your shelf. The amazing Shelden cooper gets a few different variations but you can get the Simpsons or Game of Thrones if that's more your style. 
There are a large variety of musician figures from Sid Vicious to Tupac. 
A must have for me is the Captain Jack Sparrow, though there are a lot of Disney characters to choose from. You might like The Master Chief or any one of the many NBA player figures. 

In short whatever your interest there is probably a Vinyl Funko Pop figure to fill the slot.

But that isn't all, i will try to devote most of this site to Vinyl pop but i might drop the odd bit of news or anything else i find interesting. 

So feel free to comment, ask questions and participate as we go on a journey popping my cherry.
