Hasta La Gadget!

Apparently HBO’s Game of Thrones has reached a new level of geek-dom from adoring fans; enough so that people are selling and purchasing collectibles from the hit TV show.

If you’re a fan and would like to join in, this Tyrion Lannister figurine is a good place to start. It stands about 8.5 inches tall and actually comes with two pairs of exchangeable hands, a goblet, and a book. (We would have though Jaimie would be the one with an exchangeable hand.) The facial features are as realistic as they can get. It is just proof that the guys at Threezero are really good at what they do.

This figurine is available for pre-order starting on May 26th at 9AM Hong Kong Time (6PM PST on May 25th, to save you a little time zone conversioning).

The Iron Throne in Westeros is not supposed to be comfortable. Those swords that jab you when you sit in it keep you alert, therefore alive for another day. But who wants to poked and prodded by their own throne? Well, now you can have your very own Iron Throne and sit in comfort.

Nerd by Night has turned the Iron Throne into an epic bean bag chair. If you want one like it, you’ll have to make this throne yourself, but that beats going to war and having to pay the iron price, right? To make one, you won’t need any valerian steel, but you’ll need to cut and paint fabric, sew it into place, and stuff it with foam and bean bag beans. When you are finished, you will have a comfortable throne.

A comfortable throne that still looks badass.

This painting of Daenerys Targaryen, the mother of dragons, is simply stunning. You just want to stare at it. This masterpiece was created by New York-based artist Sam Spratt, who usually develops art pieces for clients. Thank goodness he sorted out his priorities and shifted his attention to Game of Thrones.

Have you ever seen Daenerys looking so beautiful? Well, yeah, she’s always beautiful, but this painting is just amazing. You can check out a close-up below. Sam said he had a lot of fun painting all of that loose wispy hair.

It is a stunning piece of geek art. Take a moment to rest your internet-weary eyes and admire it before her dragons burn you to a crisp and fight over your carcass.

Its safe to say that HBO’s Game of Thrones is a very popular TV show. When the season premiere made its debut earlier this week it caused HBO Go to crash because there was simply too much traffic on the servers. A large number of users also resort to not so legal methods of watching the popular show. Last year Game of Thrones season finale set a new torrent swarm record when 171,572 people shared it on a single tracker. Game of Thrones torrents once again break all piracy records, even the ones set by itself.

I love to see talented people crafting objects. This is a good example: How to make a dragon egg from Game of Thrones "using the technique of repousse, chasing and metal spinning." Mesmerizing.
