GAME OF THRONES
Funko's Game of Thrones product line is a major collectible franchise launched in 2012, encompassing hundreds of stylized vinyl figures, realistic action figures, digital NFTs, and micro-sized collectibles. Spanning the original HBO television series alongside spinoffs House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the line contains some of the most valuable grail collectibles in Pop! history.
Cronologia
Panoramica
Manufactured by Funko, the Game of Thrones collectible line represents one of the company's most expansive and high-profile pop culture licenses. Debuting under the flagship Pop! Television banner, the line captures characters, creatures, and iconic moments from HBO's television adaptation of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire saga.
While the primary product range consists of 3.75-inch stylized vinyl figures, Funko has broadened the lineup across multiple scales and formats, from 6-inch super-sized dragons and articulated action figures to blind-box Mystery Minis and micro-scale Bitty Pops.
Positioned as a mainstream pop-culture collectible with dedicated high-end chase items for serious investors, the line caters to both casual fans of the TV series and hardcore figure collectors. It spans key factions across Westeros and Essos, detailing noble families such as House Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and Baratheon alongside supernatural threats like White Walkers. Through physical releases, convention exclusives, and digital Web3 offerings, Funko's Game of Thrones franchise has established itself as a cornerstone line in modern pop-vinyl collecting.
Storia
The product line launched in late 2012 and early 2013 with six core Pop! Television figures, including Tyrion Lannister, Ned Stark, and Daenerys Targaryen. San Diego Comic-Con 2013 put the line on the map with ultra-limited releases like the 1,008-piece Headless Ned Stark and bloody Freddy Funko mashups.
In 2014, Funko expanded its formats by launching the 6-inch articulated Legacy Collection action figures and blind-boxed Mystery Minis alongside standard Pop! Waves 2 and 3. As the TV show's global popularity peaked between 2015 and 2018, Funko introduced super-sized 6-inch Pops featuring iconic dragons (Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion), Pop!
Rides, Deluxe packs, and stylized spin-off lines such as Dorbz, Vynl., and 5 Star. Following the main series' conclusion, Funko released Pop! Moments, a 2021 10th Anniversary "Iron Anniversary" wave, and 2022 Web3 Digital Pop! NFTs on Droppp/WAX. The franchise's product lifetime continues to evolve through the House of the Dragon line (2022–2024), 2025 micro-scale Bitty Pops, and the 2026 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms wave.

Collezionismo
Collecting Funko's Game of Thrones line offers a dynamic entry point into pop-culture vinyl investment. Early convention exclusives from 2013, particularly the SDCC 1,008-piece Headless Ned Stark and the Freddy Funko Jaime Lannister variants, have achieved legendary status in the secondary market, commanding astronomical prices among holy-grail collectors.
The line's value trends are heavily anchored by limited production runs, early serial numbers (#01–#15), and exclusive event sticker variants. Beyond early releases, market demand is sustained by redeemable Web3 Digital Pop! NFTs, whose physical redemptions (such as the Grail Daenerys and Legendary Arya) represent modern holy grails. Additionally, the continuation of the franchise via prequel series House of the Dragon and A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms keeps the collecting ecosystem vibrant, attracting new collectors while reinvigorating interest in legacy character Pops.
In early 2025, Funko introduced Bitty Pops for the franchise, shrinking characters down to micro 7/8-inch figures in acrylic display cases.
