A friend gifted my us a Brienne of Tarth and a Night King. I don't care about them at all but I feel bad getting rid of them because they were a gift.
I did willingly and intentionally purchase the PJ set. But that was more about band fandom than Funko Pop enjoyment. I love that set and I consider it the only Funko anything I do or will ever have.
