This post will probably have spoilers so if your not up to date not look. For a look at series 1 and series 2 click those links.

Brienne of Tarth

She is alright, a decent addition to the GoT lineup.

Joffrey Baratheon

It had to be done, and he is holding his crossbow, ewwww!

Hodor

I like Hodor, i just hope he towers over the other pops.

Drogon

Drogons first appearance on a Funko pop figure was here. He looks awesome, and i hope we get his kin.

Tywin

Tywin? Really? Ok well he looks fine, odd choice but hes fine.

Ygritte

Right i actually had to look up who this was, a very odd choice when there's so many other characters to pop.

Ghost

Ghost is Jon Snows Dire wolf. I suppose that means we will see a lot of re-colors of this figure, but still its cool.

Tyrion Lannister In Battle Armor

Hmmmm a duplicate figurine, i Already have a Tyrion, as a fan of the show i know there are other characters they could pop. I think this should have been released as an "exclusive" as it looks cool but is redundant.

Daenerys Targaryen

Speaking of duplicate characters, i like Daenerys as much as the next guy, but i could do without another figure of her. yes even if this one can stand up.

 

Opinion:

All well and good but where is  Loras Tyrell? There is still hope with some gaps between the numbers of anounced figures.

Tyrion Lannister

 This is an australian Popculture exclusive figure.

 

 

04 Khal Drogo

"I will give to him a golden crown and men will tremble when they will see it."

04 Khal Drogo 

Khal Drogo is the 4th figure in the Funko Vinyl Pop, Game of Thrones line. He is a powerful war chief among the Dothraki horseman tribes. He is married to  Daenerys Targaryen, the rightful queen of Westeros.

The box art has the usual awesome individualised art. 

 The overall figure is an amazing representation. The pony tail in the hair is well designed, and the scar on Drogo's eye and face paint really help to give the figure character.

Drogo has his metallic painted Arakh weapon and a cool gold belt. The detail on his clothing is amazing. The muscle on his chest is well defined, as it should be.

Together the lovers Khal Drogo and Daenerys Targaryen. They make a handsome couple.

 Here is a video of Khal Drogo for those interested.
There is a cute stop motion animation at the end.

 

03 Daenerys Targaryen

""I am the blood of the dragon""

03 Daenerys Targaryen

 

 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.
