Game of Thrones Monday: Here's Johnny!

(Warning: This post contains SPOILERS for "Game of Thrones" season 6, episode 3, so if you haven't watched it yet, please skip ahead to the collectibles. Now, on to our recap).

Jon Snow strikes back in the latest episode of "Game of Thrones," titled "Oathbreaker." Snow's resurrection highlighted the episode as the Night's Watch commander returned to the land of the living, much to the shock of the his Wildling and Night's Watch allies, and to the chagrin of those who tried to ice him. The men (and one angry boy) who betrayed and murdered Jon paid the price this week as all four were hung for their crime. The episode ended with Jon announcing his intent to leave the Watch for ... well, we'll have to wait until next week to find out.

We got our first glimpse at Samwell Tarly and Gilly this season as the duo and Gilly's young son take a boat trip to Sam's family home in Horn Hill. Bran dives into another flashback alongside the Three-Eyed Raven and witnesses his father Ned in battle with a pair of bad-ass Targaryen warriors, including the fierce Ser Arthur Dayne, at the Tower of Joy. The scene is brief but incredibly important, as Ned looks for his sister Lyanna and can hear her screaming from high in the tower. What is happening to Lyanna up there? We have our suspicions, but we'll let history unfold on its own -- for now.

Daenerys Targaryen is stuck in Vaes Dothrak for the time being, so we'll skip past her somewhat dull storyline (though we expect that to change soon enough, as Jorah Mormont and Daario Naharis are hot on her heels) and move on to Meereen, where a very convincing Varys is able to uncover the financiers for the deadly Sons of the Harpy group. Tyrion has a rather fun tête-à-tête with Grey Worm and Missandei before furthering their plan to quash the Sons of the Harpy for good. Cersei and Jaime Lannister continue to regain their footing in King's Landing, and a final conflict with the High Sparrow and his Faith Militant is inevitable if not imminent.

Arya's training ramps up, and "the girl with no name" is quickly turning into one heckuva warrior. The episode's worst news (let's face it, there is some level of bad news in every episode) came when it was revealed that young Rickon Stark and his caretaker, Osha, had been captured and delivered to the ever-abhorrent Ramsay Bolton. And worst of all, Rickon's direwolf, Shaggydog, was killed and beheaded as well. That leaves only three direwolves still alive from the six that were originally given to the Stark children: Jon's loyal ally, Ghost; Bran's wolf, Summer; and Nymeria, Arya's wolf that was set loose in season one and is still roaming the wilds. Waiting. The "Game" has just gotten started -- we're excited to see what else is in store. Now, on to some cool collectibles!

Game of Thrones first edition (1996)

"Game of Thrones" first edition

We would be remiss if we didn't mention the crown jewel of all "Game of Thrones" collectibles -- the first edition in author George R.R. Martin's phenomenal series. This is not easy to come by and fetches a pretty penny on eBay (around the $400-$500 range), but well worth having for diehard GOT fans with a little extra coin in their pockets.

Arya Stark Pop! Vinyl, Funko

Arya Stark Pop! Vinyl by Funko

Another terrific Pop! Vinyl from Funko presents our favorite "girl with no name." She sports her prized weapon, Needle, given to her by her brother, Jon. I expect we haven't seen the last of Needle yet.

Cersei Lannister figure, Dark Horse

Cersei Lannister figure by Dark Horse

Leave it up to Dark Horse to make such a villainous character look so good. Cersei is alarmingly elegant in this gorgeous figure from Dark Horse's excellent GOT line.
