Preview: A christmas story Pop!

A Christmas Story

A christmas story is a bizarre American move released in 1983. It has become a Yule classic despite or perhaps because of its strangeness.

Opinion:

Fans of this classic movie may consider these a must buy. The movies dated values, (giving children guns as toys, racism etc) will prevent it from gaining new fans. Taken as individual figures they are quite cool and interesting in their own right.

06 White Walker

"In that darkness the White Walkers came for the first time"

White Walker

 

 












The White Walkers are a not-so mythological race from the Game of Thrones HBO television show. There motives were unclear, they came in the dark of the long winter, killing without remorse and reanimating the dead as zombies or wights. He is the 6th figure in the Game of Thrones Funko vinyl Pop! line.

 The packaging is window boxed and shows the white Walker in all his chilly glory. for a look at the GID exclusive click here.

 The White Walkers eyes are different from the usual Funko pop figure, being blue with a black pupil as opposed to just black. The figure is also notable for having both a nose and a mouth, most pops seem to have one or the other. His nose is also not the usual pop nose.
His chest is finely detailed and looks gauntly muscled. He carries a spear, but it unfortunately does not have an ice tip.

The White Walker approaches the human camp, he pauses raises his spear and whispers the eldrich words. The snow moves around him, slowly the corpses of the frozen dead emerge from there icy graves. A human notices the movement, but too late, the White walker commands his newly risen undead troop forward. 
Laughter rings through the night, the humans point and stare. The White walker looks on confused as the humans jeer and do a little dance. His ancient blue eyes turn back upon his troops, he sees the reason for the humans mirth. His fearsome wight soldiers are shuffling forward, but seem to be doing some kind of choreographed dance routine as they do. The White walker shakes his head and walks slowly back into the snow, his icy zombie army doing a two-step shuffle behind him.

SPOILER WARNING: Though i will do my best to avoid any major spoilers, there may be a few minor ones for those who have not seen the TV series. If Spoilers do occur you will see this warning and they will only be mentioned if the figure itself demands it.  

 

So my second Funko Vinyl Pop! Figure is Edition One 02 Ned Stark from the Game of Thrones line. 

Based on the George R.R. Martin book series, A Song of Ice and Fire, and made more popular by the HBO TV series, A Game of Thrones follows a collection of noble houses as they bicker for power and wealth in a fantasy medieval world.

Eddard "Ned" Stark is the lord of Winterfell and the head of the Stark House, house Stark rules many lesser houses of the north lands.

                                                                                                                                                                           

Game of Thrones 02 Ned Stark

The box is nice with pictures of the figure, though interestingly the box art may depict an earlier design as the hairline is very different.

Ned makes an imposingly cute little warrior. He has an adorable mustache and beard around where his mouth should be. The detail on the sword badge and clothing are all equally impressive.

Check out this awesome spoiler exclusive.

Here he is standing taller than Tyrion Lannister.
