Jon Snow HT Exclusive coming in May

Hot Topic made a Periscope from Funko HQ and showed this:

No zoom from the box. The person doing the filming was awful, starting from recording video vertically, lol

This new paint job would have been more appropriate on Carl, I agree.

Wrong eye

I saw the Periscope, too. I think it looks pretty cool.
My bet is that Jon Snow dies but is brought back to life by the Lord of Light thru Melisandre much like Catelyn is in the books.

This is a must have for me... Was very excited when they revealed this one!

Jon is my favorite Game of Thrones character, so I'll probably be getting this. I'm a little confused about the blood around the eye, though. Jon didn't really have that much blood on his face when he "died." He had a cut along his eye, but on the Pop, it's like a splatter of blood around the whole eye. What am I missing? :-k

So we had muddy Castle Black. Is this bloody Castle Black?

So dumb, the Hot Topic Periscope always does it that way.

Someone posted a promo poster from the new season on another site where Jon looks like this, so I'm guessing it ties into that.

For the Watch.

Just another cheap repaint. He didn't even have blood splatter on his eyes. And I guess we'll never get a non-albino Jon Snow either. Kit Harrington is pale but the skin tone on all the Jon Snow Pops so far have been nothing but an eyesore.

Can't wait. Did anyone notice the back of the box? It did look like it had the same characters as this last wave.

I'm gland I don't watch them then. This one caught my eye as they were featuring Funko HQ.

That's the only explanation. The only media were his eye is bloody is that promo from HBO.

Did we really need this exclusive? I'd understand it it were a different mold, but come on now they just put some red paint on him... lol

Hate when they make these kind of variants and make them exclusive.

Postby **treswright** » Fri Apr 22, 2016 12:18 pm

Jon Snow variants are to GoT what Daryl variants are to WD lol

Seriously Funko, a few variants are cool but how about some variants on OTHER characters?

Exactly. Or even some more new ones?!? Could name a bunch of characters worthy of a POP!

it'll sell.

Postby **toro423** » Fri Apr 22, 2016 1:19 pm

I like it. Dont remember a bloody eye for the finale so maybe it has something to do with the new season.

Postby **JohnnyPOP** » Fri Apr 22, 2016 1:26 pm

Everytime I look at it, I keep thinking it's a misshapen version of the Phoenix Force symbol that Rachel Grey has and not a weird blood splatter mark.

I think its the correct eye if going with the ad for season 6 around the town and web

There is no bloody eye on the scene and it will not have to do with the new season, except for marketing purposes from HBO. It's from a poster they have been using.

If only there was some big convention this summer where Funko does a crap ton of exclusives.

Repaints/exclusives are one of the main ways toy companies make money. New molds/characters cost WAAAAAAAAY more than a simple repaint. Plus this one seems to tie into the whole "What's up with Jon?" hype, so it makes perfect sense.

I'd love more characters as much as the next guy, but it's not like we lost a chance at a new character because of this exclusive. In this case, it was either this figure, or no figure at all.

I agree. I wanted a new Jon variant since he's my favorite character, but I didn't want it to just be a re-paint of an older mold. I guess there isn't a lot they can do differently mold-wise with him since he doesn't really change the type of clothing he wears.

I haven't seen the new season but based on that pop I assume Jon Snow joins a glam rock band.
Jon and the White Walkergrams

Do you think this will come in the 07 box? Or it will be considered a new figure?

Postby **Koppper** » Wed Apr 27, 2016 1:12 pm

The eye cut matches the promo, which means we haven't seen this Jon Snow yet in the show. This def. isn't current state Jon Snow as of Season 6 Ep. 1, but this must be later in Season 6.

When they first announced this on the Periscope, I wasn't that into it (obviously, from my previous comment on this thread), but this glam makes it look so much better. I'll probably end up getting it since Jon's my favorite GoT character. Jon is one of the few characters I've broken my "only buy one version of a Pop per character" rule for. I still say it's a lazy repaint, but like I said before, there isn't that much they can do to change him up since he's always in the same type of clothing/armor.
