Created by the Funko toy company, these vinyl Game of Thrones figures are so charming they’ll make you forget all about the bloody battles and violent beheadings that are a regular occurrence on the hit HBO series.
The line is comprised of six characters: Tyrion Lannister, Khal Drogo, Daenerys Targaryen, Ned Stark, The Hound and the dreaded White Walker. Each figure stands 3.75 inches tall and has an abnormally large sized head – perfect for decapitation.
