New ‘Game of Thrones’-inspired toys debut at Toy Fair 2013



HBO’s Game of Thrones has become renowned for its violence, gore, and graphic content, but soon fans will be able to get their hands on a softer (and more adorable) side of the series.

New Game of Thrones merchandise will be released by Factory Entertainment in the coming months. The company procured the license to produce toys, miniatures, and other collectors items based on the HBO series in January, and has debuted their first products at Toy Fair 2013.

The toy line currently includes incredibly adorable direwolf plushies, in addition to three plush dragon eggs. Hatching by fire not advised – though we can’t help but hope that little cuddly dragons are also in the pipeline! In addition to the plushies, there are also glimpses of Game of Thrones throw-pillows emblazoned with family sigils – a perfect House-warming gift, we think. Check out images of the embarrassingly irresistible merchandise right here:





Though HBO and other licensed companies have produced plenty of Game of Thrones-inspired merchandise since the series premiered, it’s great to see something a little more light-hearted than tee-shirts, beer steins, and replica swords. The plushies, pillows, and other toys are expected to hit stores around summertime, possibly coinciding with the conclusion of Game of Thrones’ third season.

Season 3 of Game of Thrones will tell over the events of approximately half of A Storm of Swords, the third book in A Song of Ice and Fire by George RR Martin. The season will premiere on March 31 on HBO.

(Also, here are some Game of Thrones figurines from Toy Fair)

Oh god I want all of it (except Tyrion, overrated little tool). Oh and Funko, where the hell is my Melisandre/Stannis/Davos/Sansa figurines?......

theantipoet 13th-Feb-2013 03:07 am (UTC)
what? how does anyone not like Tyrion?

wtf.
soavantgarde 13th-Feb-2013 03:09 am (UTC)
have you read ADWD?
minderbinder 13th-Feb-2013 03:09 am (UTC)
If I wasn't lazy I would give you ALL THE REASONS, tbh.

In short: it is absolutely possible to dislike Tyrion.
fauxkaren 13th-Feb-2013 03:12 am (UTC)
I got sick of his issues with women and then he crossed some lines.
socorporatesuit 13th-Feb-2013 03:13 am (UTC)
it's easy
jaimelannister 13th-Feb-2013 03:16 am (UTC)
he's a rapist misogynistic ass
celtic_thistle 13th-Feb-2013 03:19 am (UTC)

haedria 13th-Feb-2013 03:24 am (UTC)
there are so

so

so

many reasons to hate him
generalstolas 13th-Feb-2013 03:29 am (UTC)
He's as useless as nipples on a breastplate. Where do whores go?
milkradio 13th-Feb-2013 03:30 am (UTC)
I don't exactly like him as a person, but I like reading his chapters if that makes sense? idk, I don't really LIKE many of the ASOIAF characters tbh, but I still enjoy reading the books, even if a lot of the characters have black and grey morality and/or do despicable things.
ari_hime 13th-Feb-2013 03:32 am (UTC)
because i'm sick of hearing "where do whores go"
furato 13th-Feb-2013 03:42 am (UTC)
Before ADWD, he has issues, but a lot more fun to read. In ADWD he's supremely more annoying and his issues got worse.
cyberghostface 13th-Feb-2013 03:59 am (UTC)
I still like him. Not like he threw a kid out a window and crippled him for life. Or murdered two children to cover his ass.
vickileekx 13th-Feb-2013 04:03 am (UTC)
lmao
miakun 13th-Feb-2013 04:17 am (UTC)
I dislike book Tyrion. Show Tyrion is aces, they've fixed most of my pre-ADWD issues with him and Peter is awesome even if his accent is kind of bad.
nebulous_mirage 13th-Feb-2013 04:32 am (UTC)
only ONTD hates him, as far as I know

and parts of tumblr
kristinkat 13th-Feb-2013 04:52 am (UTC)
i dont hate him. i'm just sick of him (in the books)
shift_from_here 13th-Feb-2013 05:25 am (UTC)
He was OK until ASOS. That book made he dislike him.
wauwy 13th-Feb-2013 06:00 am (UTC)
He gets worse in later books (like a lot of characters) and has problems with women (like a lot of characters), but most of it is reactionary hate to characters that typical fans and neckbeards love. Everyone loves Tyrion (because he's fucking awesome), so ONTD shall not.

Another character this is true of is the Hound, whom a lot of people here claim isn't even popular when he's probably the biggest non-POV fan favorite in the entire ASoIaF series. Through the looking-glass~
lulubelle007 13th-Feb-2013 09:18 am (UTC)
i was curious to hear from people who hate him (genuinely curious, i like hearing peoples thoughts on these books) and well, you got a whooole bunch of non responses, telling you exactly nothing, damn
love_keiko 13th-Feb-2013 06:57 pm (UTC)
ADWD sealed his fate with me, tbh.
socorporatesuit 13th-Feb-2013 03:07 am (UTC)
aww i want a direwolf :3
wonderwomanhero 13th-Feb-2013 03:36 am (UTC)
I want you ;)
socorporatesuit 13th-Feb-2013 03:37 am (UTC)
soon~
bellyroomfan 13th-Feb-2013 04:36 pm (UTC)
i want all of them. i love the direwolves.
isntdaveone 13th-Feb-2013 03:09 am (UTC)
i want a Furby.

wonderwomanhero 13th-Feb-2013 03:24 am (UTC)
No you don't. You can never turn them off.
drawntoinsanity 13th-Feb-2013 04:09 am (UTC)
those are the devil
isntdaveone 13th-Feb-2013 05:01 am (UTC)
is that Justin Louis/Louis Ferrara in your icon??
veronicarg 13th-Feb-2013 08:07 pm (UTC)
After 13 years of having one, mine is STILL working. Why, oh whyyyyyyyyyy. I have NEVER changed its battery, and it freaks me out. I mean, he's basically alive.
soavantgarde 13th-Feb-2013 03:09 am (UTC)
those direwolves look cute and I'd be down for a lannister pillow. it's dumb but I hate how official merch has HBO'S NEW HIT SERIES GAME OF THRONES (TM) all over it, I like stuff like this without all the logos

also that little throne figurine <3

i hate that it says "game of thrones" on my stark hoodie
soavantgarde 13th-Feb-2013 03:17 am (UTC)
that's why I buy all the unauthorized merch (or would, if I had the money lol), I love that one shirt that just says "robb & sansa & arya & bran & rickon & jon"

semi related: I can't find any official LOTR maps that don't have LORD OF THE RINGS PETER JACKSON NEWLINE CINEMA on them so I'm probably going to drop $50 on one from etsy sometime. ugh.
masalachaitea 13th-Feb-2013 04:00 am (UTC)
The direwolves look adorable! Want one or...all of them. :O

Yeah, same. I'm not one for logos being plastered all over merchandise. It can be done in a way where it's recognizable without being super huge and obnoxious.
hausofashley 13th-Feb-2013 04:08 am (UTC)
IA sfm. I really wanted the scarf/hat set, but having GAME OF THRONES plastered all over it just ruins it.
fauxkaren 13th-Feb-2013 03:10 am (UTC)
I just want Tully merchandise!
jaimelannister 13th-Feb-2013 03:14 am (UTC)
ngl, I'd break my no game of thrones merch rule to buy a hoodie
fauxkaren 13th-Feb-2013 03:16 am (UTC)
Omg. A Tully hoodie would be so qt!
snowtears4 13th-Feb-2013 03:28 am (UTC)
YEEEEEEEEEEEES
minderbinder 13th-Feb-2013 03:11 am (UTC)
I want a direwolf plushie, tbh. I hope they are distinct tho, not just Ghost and then four other ones that look exactly the same lol.
jaimelannister 13th-Feb-2013 03:13 am (UTC)
oblig where is sansa
minderbinder 13th-Feb-2013 03:16 am (UTC)
Lbr, we'll get Rickon merch before we ever get Sansa merch. :(
jaimelannister 13th-Feb-2013 03:31 am (UTC)
uhhhhh why hbo why
wonderwomanhero 13th-Feb-2013 03:22 am (UTC)
I just want my damn Funko Melisandre.
khlassique 13th-Feb-2013 03:34 am (UTC)

minderbinder Also13th-Feb-2013 03:14 am (UTC)


PERFECT CAST IS PERFECT.

I kinda want to make an interview post, but I'm also feeling really lazy. Lol. Like, too lazy to type.
jaimelannister Re: Also13th-Feb-2013 03:17 am (UTC)
copy and pasting is fuuun
minderbinder Re: Also13th-Feb-2013 03:17 am (UTC)
LOL

I'll wait until later because I don't want to take away from this post. :)
soavantgarde Re: Also13th-Feb-2013 03:19 am (UTC)


make the post tomorrow imo ;)
shigureblack Re: Also13th-Feb-2013 03:19 am (UTC)
Oh god is there a vid of this?
mila_casillas Re: Also13th-Feb-2013 03:32 am (UTC)
Beautiful tall ladies. The fact that I am 7" shorter than Kit makes me sad.
unbirthdayalice 13th-Feb-2013 03:15 am (UTC)
they should have plushies of the dragons.
noskidaddle 13th-Feb-2013 03:15 am (UTC)
omg, the mini Iron Throne is so cute. Imagine having your Barbie sitting on that
mellarks 13th-Feb-2013 03:17 am (UTC)
OMG DIREWOLF PLUSHIES.
itsafunny_thing 13th-Feb-2013 03:18 am (UTC)
I hate to go OT in a flawless GOT post, but apparently Chris Dorner is dead, guys.
itsafunny_thing 13th-Feb-2013 03:24 am (UTC)
Thanks bb! Think anyone would care if I delete my first comment?
astrologee 13th-Feb-2013 03:31 am (UTC)
I'm watching Nancy Grace right now, and like, what the fuck.
sandstorm 13th-Feb-2013 03:18 am (UTC)
