Game of Thrones Series 3

Game of Thrones

Series 3

 

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.

 

 

 Available

14th January 2014

 

Tyrion Lannister

 This is an australian Popculture exclusive figure.

 

 

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.

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.

Game of Thrones 04 Khal Drogo

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.

Game of Thrones 03 Daenerys Targaryen

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.
