HBO is selling the ultimate TV geek prop — a life-size Iron Throne from “Game of Thrones.”
All season long, fans watched as a vicious war was waged for control over the king of the Seven Kingdom’s fabled throne, but, as it turns out, all that bloodshed was totally unnecessary.
For just $30,000 — plus an extra $1,800 for shipping and handling — you could own your very own replica of what is likely to be the most uncomfortable chair in the world.
In the series, the Iron Throne is said to be made out of swords surrendered by the first king’s defeated enemies, welded together by dragon’s breath.
The at-home version is made out of fiberglass and fire-rated (natch) resin. It weighs in at 350 pounds, stands 7’2”tall and is 5’5” wide.
HBO will manufacture the replica thrones according to demand, so while they’re listed as being in stock, it will take six to eight weeks for your throne to make it to your door.
So far, no actual orders for the thrones have been placed, according to a source, although there are already a handful of semi-mocking reviews of the throne on the HBO Store Web site.
“Game of Thrones” recently wrapped Season 2 averaging 3.8 million viewers — up from 2.5 million average viewers in its first season.
