In anticipation of the final season of Game of Thrones, fans are coping with longing for the world of Westeros as best they can.
Some re-read the original story, some buy additional materials, guides, maps and even recipe books, and for especially ardent fans, numerous manufacturers of souvenirs and paraphernalia have prepared interesting offers.
Among them, everyone will find something useful for themselves. Or not so much.
We have collected the brightest and funniest examples of marketing ingenuity.
10 The faience throne turns … into iron!
Now everyone can feel the strength and power. The original vinyl sticker shows swords fused into the back of the throne, just like in the show.
Sellers offer more than 20 colors to choose from so that your personal iron throne fits well into the interior.
You can use such a sticker in a more boring way, placing it behind a work or easy chair to feel like the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms (or square meters, how lucky) both at work and in the living room, watching TV shows.
Manufacturers note that such beauty is best kept on a flat, smooth surface.
9. Jon Snow loses his head…
…and rediscovers it. The flash card’s fun body will allow you to decapitate the Lord Commander over and over again until you get bored. And with him Tyrion, Arya, Daenerys and even her dragon – the seller has a large selection of heroes.
The amount of memory is different, most often found at 8 GB. This is an original and useful gift for a fan of the George Martin universe, as well as an opportunity to treat yourself to an interesting accessory.
8. Hodor Hodor
The heroic death of the faithful giant Hodor left no one indifferent. The way he held the door with the last of his strength is remembered by everyone who watched the series.
Manufacturers immortalized Hodor’s feat in a door holder. The natural wood wedge is pyrographed with the character’s name, and guests familiar with the series will love the reference. And it’s just nice to use such a symbolic thing in your favorite universe.
7. dragon eggs
Have you ever wanted to try what it’s like to be the matter of dragons? Well, or a father? The manufacturers of very cute Game of Thrones egg-shaped candles give you that opportunity.
In order for them to reveal their full potential, they must be exposed to fire. It is not necessary to throw into the fire, a lighter will be enough, and a mischievous flame will flash over the scaly top.
It’s rare that people buy candles for their own home, but this is a great gift idea for a fan of the universe. And there you look, and who will hatch. But it is not exactly.
6. Themed underwear
For those who want to decorate everything that is possible with the signs of their beloved universe. Well, or does not want to flaunt his love for the series.
And if the “Moon of my life” can be treated with humor, then the great Khal Drogo peeking out of his fly will cause a stupor in anyone. The sadly looking Jon Snow, as well as the stern looking Jaime Lannister, can make him company.
Whether they will protect your body or just keep company is up to you, but such an acquisition will be at least original.
5. Courageously open letters
If in this age of technology and instant messaging you still resort to the romance of letters, then this assistant is exactly for you. The letter opener is made in the form of a sword with the inscription “Game of Thrones”.
Thanks to him, opening envelopes with utility bills will be truly heroic. It will also come in handy for printing parcels, for example, from Chinese stores.
They will not be able to stab a traitor, but some manufacturers produce such souvenirs up to 20 cm long, and this is a truly epic accessory.
4. Protection from enemies and … rain
The famous umbrella in the form of a samurai sword will surprise no one. And then inventive manufacturers crossed an umbrella with a Westeros sword.
There are several models to choose from, stylized as weapons of different heroes. In the production of steel, ordinary, not Valyrian, was used, but if necessary, such an umbrella will help in self-defense. But it is still better to use it for its intended purpose and escape from the rain.
3. Direwolf – do it yourself
Recently, photos of a grandmother appeared on entertainment resources, who created her own knitted copy. Although it looks a little intimidating, you can really make anything out of yarn, for example, your own direwolf.
And although in this funny creature you can recognize the formidable predator of the north only with a strong desire, the pattern is a success.
The scheme is quite simple, and anyone who wants to have their own woolen friend will be able to.
2. Let’s drink to love!
Producers of strong drinks could not stay away from the gold mine. Several companies at once used familiar images and even quotes in the design of their product.
Among the names are “Valar morghulis” and “Valar dohaeris” (this probably indicates their fortress, since both phrases state that all people are mortal), “Iron Throne”, and you can also read quotes from heroes.
Tyrion’s statements are especially honored, because who, no matter how he knows a lot about strong drinks.
1. The real iron throne
There are a dime a dozen figurines depicting the iron throne of the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms on a variety of resources. Cheaper options are made of plastic, and detailed, high-quality, made of metal are much more expensive.
But what about a full-fledged life-size replica of the cinematic throne? It is made of metal, but, unlike the original, which is very uncomfortable, it pricks and rubs, reminiscent of the difficult path of conquest, it will not be possible to cut yourself on the souvenir throne, let alone put someone on his swords. It would be an extremely dangerous souvenir.
Such a throne is sold in the official HBO store and costs 30 thousand dollars. Some two million rubles, a chair for the price of an apartment in most regions of Russia. But maybe it’s a good investment?
