oh man I'll have to get this! Really hope we get Ragnar, Floki and Final Season Bjorn.

 

[Luisenigma1]

YES!!! About damn time, give me Ragnar!!!

 

[abake]

Not the best likeness, but looks very fine indeed!

 

[The Entity]

Well this is awesome!
I'm very interested in this one. Hope we see more Vikings figures.

Anyone familiar with Poptoys? I personally am not. Are the final products any good?

They're getting better, and also more expensive.

They've really got the hang of scale mail now. This was their Jeanne d'Arc 2.0 which I received recently:

Thanks for sharing! That looks like an awesome figure!

Besides the obvious stuff (head, mail), is the armour/sword any better than v1?

The plate armour is a lot better in fit. You can see how the pauldrons stick out on the original and refuse to lay flat. The sabots (foot armour) are now fully jointed over a fabric shoe, as opposed to the incorrect solid metal boots on the first one.

The sword is probably the same.

There are a lot of in hand photos in this thread:

Correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't based on the Vikings TV show. They have a line of Viking warriors. figures consisting of a Berserker, Warrior, and Chieftain. This would just be a Shieldmaiden.

 

[Waiden]

Can anyone please explain the difference between Pop Toys and Pop Costumes?

 

[The Entity]

Well it might not be officially licensed Vikings figure, but it's definitely Lagertha:

 

[FlyAndFight]

This figure does look good.

I'm not sure that I would get into this line but what a great start from Pop Toys.

Well, it seemed to me like it was a clear stab at Lagertha...

 

[DawnSeeker]

I'm certainly keen on this figure. The head sculpt, I recognize her for sure, but it's not a great likeness. Price will matter a ton for me. I've wanted this figure for a long time, but Pop Toys has been asking for Hot Toys prices for their figures of late and I don't think I'm willing to shell out $300+ for something that's not a perfect or near perfect figure. So a wait and see what the price will be.

 

[hoodonit00]

So with POP Toys record, will they make the whole main cast?

 

[Kebron]

Well it might not be officially licensed Vikings figure, but it's definitely Lagertha:

I don’t see it. If it was a stab at the show then why didn’t anyone claim the figures being Viking figures being released this month from CooModel are Ragnar? It too has a passing resemblance.

I think it’s just that these figures are kind of general Vikings and the Vikings show also used the stereotypical Vikings look.

It's obviously meant to be Lagertha. It even has her shield design:

I've only watched a few episodes, but Google shows she had several looks through the series.

This is the one Pop Toys have gone for:

This is the cloak as well:

 

[Gipetto0812]

Yup its definitely meant to be Lagertha, no question. It doesn't just have a passing resemblence, it's pretty much her. The likeness might not be 100% but the hair style, clothing, and weaponry is all hers from the show.

As for the CooModel figures: I've only seen one that barely, sort of, maybe looks like it could be Ragnar if I squint, but looks more like King Harald with only half the tattooed face instead of both sides like in the show. Unless there's another one that I've missed.

Either way, just b/c one company makes Viking figures (like CooModel for instance), doesn't mean that it's exclusive to them and no one else can take a stab.

Because they appeared to be the same company to me, I asked Kit a while back about CooModel and Pop Toys. He said they shared a factory and co-operated on projects, which would explain why both companies announce similar things on the same day but not actually step on each other's toes. The first clue I had was when they both announced King Henry figures simultaneously - one was Henry V and the other Henry VIII.

Pop seems to make only female bodies, and Coo only male bodies.

CooModel also goes by the CM Toys name.

As for the figure, I don't collect Vikings but I'm really liking the look of Lagertha.
