But it’s better to use it for its intended purpose and escape from the rain.
3. Fierce Wolf - DIY
Recently, on entertainment resources, photos of her grandmother, who created her knitted copy, appeared. Although it looks a little intimidating, you can really make anything from yarn, for example, your own lyutovolka.

Tirion’s remarks are especially honored, because who, no matter how knowledgeable he is in strong drinks.
1. A real iron throne
Figures depicting the iron throne of the rulers of the Seven Kingdoms, a dime a dozen on a variety of resources. Cheaper options are made of plastic, and detailed, high-quality, made of metal are not much more expensive.
But what can you say about the full-fledged replica of the life-size movie throne? It is made of metal, but, unlike the original, which is very uncomfortable, pricks and rubs, recalling the difficult path of conquest, it will not be possible to cut the souvenir throne, not to plant 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 at the price of an apartment in most regions of Russia. But maybe this is a good investment?
