Ned Stark SDCC 2013 exclusive figure

Poor Ned

  
This Ned Stark is a SDCC exclusive limited to only 1008 figures. Fair warning if you haven't seen Game of Thrones, this figure is a spoiler.

The box should have blood splatter on the window area and blood on the neck of the figure.

Also you should see the exclusive sticker on the window box.

 
The figures body looks the same as the original.










Though the colours on mine do look more vibrant and distinct.

 Aside from a few colour differences and the half closed eyes you could mistake this figure for the normal one.

 Here he is with non-exclusive Ned Stark.

 As i mentioned above the eyes of this Ned are half closed, being in a dungeon can be exhausting.

A look under his head shows where the bloody blow struck.

The head just pulls off but can be held nicely in place by a clever magnetic system.

For anyone wondering, yes his body can be used as a fridge magnet. Though the magnet is not very strong. 

CHOP!

As you can see this figure will make for some excellent displays.

Ned took the saying "two heads are better than one" a little too literally. 

No Jaime you are not.

So what do you think of this version of Ned? I personally, while not a fan of duplicate character figures, do really like it.

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.

02 Ned Stark

 

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.
