01 Tyrion Lannister, Scarface, Game of Thrones

Tyrion


 This review needs a complete spoiler alert unless your up to date with Game of Thrones.



 This figure appears to be the same mold as the original series one Tyrion, it has different paint work though.






 The box is the same, but this figure is an Australian Popculture exclusive.




 Same, Same.





The figure is obvioulsy Tyrion and the scar is evident.




 Again the sculpt is the same, my figure is badly scuffed up and in addition to the paint apps looks like he has been in a battle.





Tyrion has a black eye.






He has the painted on scar of course. See the damaged nose and poop marks, im not sure if they are meant to be there.











 He wears the same clothing, but it is coloured differently.






 Here he is side by side with season one Tyrion.





Size comparison with Bicycle Girl and leonidas.





Here he is with the other Game of Thrones Exclusives. Headless Ned and GID White Walker.





Tyrion cant reach the accelerator






 Ned is a little delusional.

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.

 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.
What would you like to see?

01 Tyrion Lannister

" A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. "

01 Tyrion Lannister:

So my first Funko Vinyl Pop! figure is from the Game of Thrones line. 
Game of thrones is an excellent HBO TV series  based on the George R. R. Martin book series A song of ice and fire. The series is set in a very medieval world where magic is little believed in and monsters thought to be myth or long extinct. It follows the major noble houses as they squabble for political power and survival.
The first Game of thrones figure i could get my hands on is: Edition One 01Tyrion Lannister. Tyrion is the son of Lord Tywin Lannister, Tywin is the head of House Lannister, the richest house in the Seven Kingdoms and Lord of the Westlands.
Tyrion uses his intelligence to make up for any shortcomings he may have due to being a dwarf. 

  Game of Thrones 01 Tyrion Lannister:

The box is nice, with pictures of the figure and other figures from the line on the backside.




This figure has some nice details, like the gold rings on his hand and the printing on his shirt. Looking at the figure you should be able to tell who it represents.


Being a dwarf, Tyrion is a little smaller than other figures. He stands at about three and a half inches tall.
