The Game of Thrones season premiere was held in Hollywood earlier this week, and the stars of the popular show took a few minutes to embrace silliness: they posed with the Funko Pop! Vinyl Toy versions of their characters. Tyrion Lannister and his counterparts look less intimidating when they’re holding up toys and making faces. Kudos to Peter Dinklage, Rory McCann (The Hound), and Richard Madden (Robb Stark) for being adorable. (And yes, this is almost as good as The Hobbit cast posing with Lego minifigs).
Check out Robb Stark and The Hound after the break.
If Funko’s goal is to make collectors want all the things, they are succeeding. Their catalog at Toy Fair revealed new licenses, new plushies, and new blind box sets. Raise your hand if you’re a sucker for blind boxes. Raise the other hand if you like Game of Thrones. Both of my hands are figuratively up in the air.
If you’re in my area of the Venn diagram in this scenario, prepare to be a happy camper: Funko’s releasing a Game of Thrones set that features ancillary characters like a White Walker, a Dothraki, and a Stark Soldier. I saved the most squee-worthy part for last: the boxes also have direwolves, ravens, and dragons! You could get Ghost or Drogon or a White Raven that means winter has arrived. I should just buy the whole display!
If that’s wasn’t enough, they’ll also have have blind boxes for The Walking Dead, Batman and Domo as DC superheroes.

There will be no shortage of toys in support of Iron Man 3 when it hits theaters on May 3rd. Funko has announced a line of Pop! vinyl figures, Wacky Wobblers bobbleheads, plush and even papercraft figures with playsets. The Pop! vinyl includes one curious variation, Deep Space Suit, that makes you wonder just how that’s going to come into play in the movie. We won’t have the answer to that question for another four months, but it looks very interesting.

Funko’s POP! line of vinyl figures just keeps on growing with no end in site. They make the cute more adorable, and they manage to find the precious in characters you wouldn’t think are suited for it – such as anyone in The Walking Dead.
We’ve already seen one wave of figures for the popular TV series, and it looks like the next wave will arrive in April. It includes Michonne, her pet, Glenn, and a tank zombie.
Check out the rest of the new wave after the break.

Never underestimate the power and allure of the blind box toy. I used to think there wasn’t any fun in buying something that’s a surprise, but then I purchased a Disney Star Wars Vinylmation toy and then Tokidoki Unicornos and on and on – it’s hard to quit. And now Disney is releasing a line of 2.5″ Funko vinyl figures in blind boxes. Here are all my dollars.
The line features impossibly cute character designs of Stitch, Jack Skellington, Sully, Maleficent, Mickey, Winnie the Pooh, Tinkerbell, and Mike. They’ll be available next month. I’ll go figure where to put them now.

Funko has announced a team-up between Domo and DC Comics that’s giving us these fantastic blind box vinyl figures. Each measures 2.5″ tall and will retail for $5.95 when they debut on February 28th. There are 14 different characters, some of which come in more than one version.
You’ll be able to collect Batman (3 versions), Robin (2 versions), Superman (2 versions), Clark Kent, Aquaman, Green Lantern, The Flash, Shazam, The Riddler and Two-Face. Some of them are more rare than others, as you can see by the ratios in the first image. Superman with his shirt open is ridiculously rare with only 1/144 boxes holding him inside!
