The new Funkoverse sets are hitting stores (mainly US ones it would appear) and some crackers they are.

The movies Jaws and Back to the Future provide the characters for the two 2 pack sets, and the tv series A Game of Thrones provides the characters for the 4 pack set.

I was particularly after the Jaws set because it was going to provide the final part of the first team I wanted to play. But we know the AGoT one will join the collection at some point soon (particularly after you read below).
Next month also sees the release of the Wonder Woman 2 pack set. Which although not a big Wonder Woman fan I am looking forward to.

I think I’ve said previously the attraction to me with Funkoverse is not that it has a competitive scene like similar style games. But that it’s all about having fun, throwing your favourite characters together and playing.
And that’s the inspiration for the team I’m calling Boom,Slash, Splash!

I just thought it would be cool to play Jaws, along side the raptor and t-rex.
There had been some indecision about what item to use and which character would hold it. In an ideal world you’d use an item that synergises well with the abilities of one of the team.

But after reading the pdf rules of the A Game of Thrones set I may skip picking an item to use and use the new thing they introduced in that set companions.

Companions are similar to items, and you can’t have both on a team. You either have a companion or you have an item. In the actual set the companions are represented by tokens and not an actual figure. But this being funko and a popular IP the Ghost companion can be replaced with a figure (using the ghost model from the keychain funko do).

So just for fun this team will use the ghost companion instead of an item.  Which would technically add a woof/howl to the name of the team. But I’m not going to because ghost isn’t a main character.
I have no idea how this team will play. But it sure as hell will look cool on the table.
