#108: Game of Thrones - Brienne of Tarth

Brienne is an interesting character in the books, but I feel like she benefits from the actress playing her on the show, so that the live version of her is more interesting. So she goes into the collection. Will there be a Pod figure to go with her? I'm not holding my breath. The sword looks a little too unadorned to be Oathkeeper, so I'm guessing this is Brienne during the escorting Jaime portion of her storyline. Brienne's armor looks great. A lot of it is made from soft plastic so that it won't get in the way of articulation. That seems to be common for this line, but it works well, so no complaints here. While I thought Arya's likeness was great, this one isn't as good.

#107: Game of Thrones - Arya Stark

Like probably almost everyone else, Arya is one of my favorite characters on Game of Thrones. So naturally I was down to get a figure, and Funko wasted little time getting her into the line. Arya's in the outfit from her recent appearances, being absolutely a blast to watch traveling with the Hound. Of course, she comes with her sword Needle. The likeness for Maisie Williams is pretty good, especially from straight on. It really captures Arya's death glare. The joints are rather stiff at first, but I haven't had any breakage issues, fortunately.

#48: Game of Thrones Legacy Collection - Daenerys Targaryen

The last (?) living Targaryen, Daenerys certainly has a strong claim to the Iron Throne. Dragons are a good argument in her favor as well. But does she harbor the Targaryen madness? Maybe we'll find out eventually. There will be another Dany figure in the next series, but I liked the look of her brown Dothraki outfit better, so I opted for this version. Again, although the likeness isn't really there, it's an otherwise good looking figure, with good articulation. Her hair and skirts are both soft enough that they don't get in the way too much of her articulation. Dany's accessory is one of her dragons, which I believe is Drogon. There are holes on her shoulder where his feet can peg into as if he's crouched there.

#47: Game of Thrones Legacy Collection - The Hound

The Hound is one of those interesting characters who starts out as an antagonist, but who soon turns out to have more layers. He's a remorseless killer, but he also seems to have a protective streak when it comes to the Stark girls. And all the scenes with him and Arya in the fourth season are pure gold. He's a very tall man, and his figure is suitably the largest one in the line so far. It also has what is probably the best likeness out of all of them, although the facial scarring could probably be a little more pronounced. The Hound is also well accessorized, with two swords, a removable scabbard, and a helmet. Both swords are different, and there is a scabbard for each of them. The dog faced helmet is made of a very soft, rubbery plastic that allows it to slip on and off of his head easily. I don't know how well that will hold up long term, but it looks good and is easy to use. This is probably my favorite figure of the line so far. I can't wait to pair him up with Arya from the next series.

#46: Game of Thrones Legacy Collection - Tyrion Lannister

Like the six inch Black Series R2-D2, I was reticent to get a Tyrion figure because it's not as good a value. But Tyrion is one of my favorite characters, and since all the figures were below retail, it helped soften the blow. Tyrion is in his armor from the battle of Blackwater Bay, and his sole accessory is a battle axe. I would have preferred a more casual outfit (and maybe a goblet of wine), but who knows if they'll do another Tyrion figure. The likeness to Peter Dinklage is unfortunately not very good on the figure. Despite his shorter stature, the articulation is still pretty decent. No double hinged knees, and the ankles are a bit stiff, but otherwise everything important is there. The lower skirt of the armor is fairly soft, so it's not too obtrusive.

#45: Game of Thrones Legacy Collection - Jon Snow

Funko's Game of Thrones figures showed up a few months ago before anybody was expecting them, and I've been meaning to pick some up since then. I recently noticed that Amazon has them for lower than retail, so I figured it was as good a time as any to try them out. First up we have Ned Stark's know nothing bastard, Jon Snow. The figure seems to be based on Jon's appearance somewhere after the first half of the season, as he is in his Night's Watch blacks and has the bastard sword (appropriate!) given to him by the Old Bear himself after Jon saved his life. The likeness to Kit Harington isn't the best, but given that Funko is mostly known for highly stylized toys, this isn't bad for a first foray into a more realistic look. While Jon's costume is all black, there are some areas that feature a light dusting meant to represent snow or frost, such as on his boots, the lower edges of his tunic, on his cloak, and even in his hair. Jon is very well articulated, although the wrists are a bit loose. The cloak is soft enough that it doesn't hinder the arms too much, fortunately. Overall, it's a pretty well done figure, and it's cool to have Game of Thrones action figures, as I thought the Pop Vinyl toys would be the closest thing.

One for each of the Stark children.
