Which I would choose
As a huge fan of The Witcher, I actually already have Funko Pops of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri in my collection, but I don't have the version of Geralt mentioned above as he's the Henry Cavill TV one. I'm tempted to add him to the basket and pretend he's Geralt from another universe as seems to be the plan with the upcoming Season 4 of the show. Perhaps I'm getting a little too creative with that but I just love Witcher merch and it's not often I see the Funkos from the franchise on sale, so this is my favorite pick from my super 7 deals.
