Preview: Alien Vs Predator






Aliens Vs Predator

Whereas previously we only had concept art from the 2013 Funko Vinyl Pop catalogue, now we have pictures of the actual figures. Stores are already taking pre-orders so don't miss out.




Number 30 in the Movies Funko pop line is Alien and it looks like it is from the movie Alien. It looks awesome.
For a full review with photos click here.

For exclusives click here.


 
 Number 31 is the very cool Predator figure. A must have for any fans of the Predator movie. Want to see an exclusive?


 They have come a long way since there concept art and i think they look much better in real vinyl.



Both figures will probably have the 17+ symbol, but this is because of the movie they are from rather than the actual figure.

Release Date:

Pre-orders are up for May 2013 So i would expect them to attack around then. The official release date is May 16th!

15 Exclusive Blood splatter RV Zombie


Another useful zombie






A zombie from The Walking Dead television program who met with the nasty end of a screwdriver.

This is the exclusive Bloody version.









This is the exclusive blood splatter version of the RV Zombie from The Walking Dead Funko pop line. This vinyl figure is exclusive to Gemini Collectibles and is limited to 1,000 pieces. Note the blood on the front of the window box.





The Exclusive also has a bloody hand print on the side of the window box.




The figure is a cute representation of the disgusting zombie from the show.




He looks very similar to the normal version.




His dirty zombie attire is splattered with blood.




Blood also covers the pop zombies hands.




The zombies face is very similar to the normal one, the only difference may be the paint applications.




There is actually enough difference to tell them apart.






The splattered blood is mostly on the limbs and front of the shirt.




From behind the exclusive and normal versions look the same.




Just for fun, the Doctor visits a world suffering a zombie apocalypse.




If you would like a closer look at the original version please click here

15 RV Walker


A useful zombie






 

You may know this fellow from The Walking Dead.

In the RV Andrea stabs the Walker in the eye with a screwdriver. 








15 RV Zombie



RV Walker is the 15th in the Television line of Funko pop figures.






 The RV Zombie by Funko pop is a cute version of the RV zombie from The Walking Dead television show.




This adorable little zombie looks pretty cool, he looks a lot like his television counterpart.



His clothing is suitably dirty looking for zombie attire.




RV Zombie has nice fingers ready to infect the living pops.




 The Zombies face is beautifully rotten and zombilicious.




If you ever need a screwdriver just have RV Zombie lurking around. But don't call him a tool, it hurts his feelings.




RV Zombies teeth are really nice and perfect for chomping down on Andrea...Wherever she is, (maybe series 4?).






Here is a size comparison with Rick and Daryl.



Variants/Exclusives:


This exclusive is available from Gemini Collectibles. It is limited to 1000 pieces and known as RV Blood Splatter Zombie. Click the link for a closer look at the Exclusive blood splatter RV Zombie.


RV Zombie of wisdom.

Game of thrones Series 2

Like winter, they are coming




A game of thrones is an amazing television show. 

The Pop1 figures from the show are a huge success. 

Now we can have a closer look at wave two of these figures.

For a look at series one click here.  Click on the characters name for a review of that figure.

Here we have Jon Snow the bastard of house Stark. He is looking quite fetching in the black.


Next in line is Rob Stark but will he be next in line for the Iron Throne or will he become King in the North. The figure is a good representation of the on screen character.

Arya Stark is looking very cool and Needle looks awesome.



Try not to cringe as we see Jaime Lannister  in his fine metallic gold armor.


Here is Cersei Lannister looking unimpressed. I really think she should have a wine goblet in hand.



Renly Baratheon one of the fan favorites. He looks awesome with his golden stag crown. We can only hope that Loras Tyrell will be in the next series.

Opinion:

This entire range of figures is looking awesome. I do hope that any exclusives are not quite as (almost) impossible to get as the GITD White Walker

 

Release Date: 

 

These figures are available April 11th! 

 

Exclusives:

 

I have no idea, but will update here when more information becomes available. Please feel free to comment if you know anything about the exclusives or just want to comment.

The Walking Dead Series 2

More Walking Dead are coming

 

 The walking dead is a popular program and the Funko pop figures were an absolute success.
The line up continues with Michonne, Glenn, Michonne's pet zombies and a tank zombie.
 From the first scene Michonne was in, we knew she was awesome. Her figure looks awesome, with her cloak and katana she is going to survive.




 Michonne's Pet 1 and Michone's Pet 2 are a bit of a mystery. It has been established that by cutting of the means of attack, a zombie will become docile, hence there lack of arms and lower jaw. And that the presence of these "disarmed" zombies masks the presence of living humans to some degree. 
When asked about there origins Michonne has been relatively silent only stating that they were barely human before, and got what they deserved. 
The figures look very similar, as they should i suppose both being domesticated zombies. I do hope that they are different molds though, i had hoped for slightly different leg positions.



 Glen the attractive young man with nerves of steel. He is a fan favorite, and his character has grown. His figure is simple but effective and is evocative of the character.

Last but not least we have Tank Zombie, more zombies are always welcome.

There will be exclusives:

Information is hard to find at this stage but by the names you can gather what the figure will look like.

Blood Splatter Michonne is exclusive to Harrison's Comics and we can assume that she will be splatted with red paint.


Blood Splatter Michonne Walkers #1 & #2 is again exclusive to Harrison's Comics and i guess it is a two pack ( i may be wrong) with both of Michonne's pets splattered with red.
 

Blood Splatter Glenn is exclusive to Man of Action Figures obviously a red splattered Glenn.


Blood Splatter Tank Zombie a Fugitive Toys  exclusive, the tank zombie splattered with red paint.

Mud Splatter/Glow in the Dark Michonne + Pet Walkers 3-Pack exclusive to Diamond Comics Very interesting... But why are there faces all...is that sparkles?

For me the  Blood Splatter Michonne Walkers #1 & #2 is a possible buy, and Blood Splatter Tank Zombie is a definite.
Mud Splatter
/Glow in the Dark Michonne + Pet Walkers 3-Pack Is intriguing, i wonder how different they will look to there normal and blood splatter versions...

 

When can i get my clammy cold dead hands on them? 

The figures of series 2 have an April 4th release date!
