The royal seat bears an erotic resemblance to the original Game of Thrones prop, and was made on the "swords" (read: sex toys) of its enemies. UK bondage company Bondara built the so-called "Rubber Throne" to promote a new product line, appropriately titled "Game of Bones." It took 24 hours and 200 dildos to create the masterpiece, which is actually up for grabs if you're missing a giant dildo chair in your life.

Check out how the phallic throne was made in the video, below:The owner of an official Game of Thrones Iron Throne replica, which is being commercially showcased all over Ireland, has issued legal proceedings against a business partner.
Mark Russell claims Stephen Cronin Saleh plans to remove the replica throne from the country. Mr Russell claims that he and Mr Cronin Saleh agreed last March to purchase and exploit the HBO licensed replica of the throne used in the fantasy drama TV series. The court heard Mr Russell bought the throne, which was then licensed to Mr Cronin Saleh, of Hazelwood Avenue, Glanmire, Co Cork. Mr Cronin Saleh had been granted an option to buy the throne and both parties had agreed to a profit share arrangement. Mr Russell, an IT consultant, alleges that he bought the hand-painted fiberglass and fire-proof resin throne, which is 2.2m tall and weighs 160kg, for €13,465 in Canada. Barrister Stephen Moran, counsel for Mr Russell, of Block A, Smithfield Market, Smithfield, Dublin, said his client had also paid €1,535 for the shipping expenses. The court heard the throne was to remain Mr Russell’s property until Mr Cronin Saleh had repaid the entire purchase price and the ownership title would then be transferred to Mr Cronin Saleh.
Mr Russell claims they had also agreed to incorporate a company, Fancosmic Ltd, and that he would get 35 per cent of its shares. He had been registered as a director of the company. The court heard the throne was to be displayed at events and shopping centres in Ireland and in the UK, and members of the public would be given the opportunity to sit in it and have their picture taken for a €10 to €25 fee. Mr Moran, who appeared with McHale Muldoon solicitors, said Mr Russell also lent Mr Cronin Saleh a further €5,000 to fund working capital. Mr Russell alleges that Mr Cronin Saleh removed him as a director of Fancosmic Ltd last June. He had also removed his access privileges and cancelled all his permissions regarding the company. The court heard that Mr Cronin Saleh had refused to speak to Mr Russell since last May and had failed to return the throne to him. Mr Cronin Saleh had also failed to repay the €20,000 sum. Counsel said his client believes Mr Cronin Saleh intends to remove the throne from the country and Mr Russell was now seeking an injunction against him and against Fancosmic Ltd, of Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin.
In his proceedings, Mr Russell seeks various orders including a judgment against Mr Cronin Saleh and Fancosmic Ltd in the sum of €20,000 and an order requiring the return of the throne to him. He also seeks an order restraining Mr Cronin Saleh from removing the throne from Ireland without a written consent from him. Judge James O’Donohoe accepted an undertaking by Mr Cronin Saleh, who appeared in court , not to remove the throne from the country until the full hearing of the application next week. The court heard that when the throne was displayed at the Mahon Point shopping centre in Cork last April, Fancosmic Ltd generated €7,500.“The HBO throne has become iconic. And well it might. It’s a terrific design, and it has served the show very well. There are replicas and paperweights of it in three different sizes. I have all those replicas right here, sitting on my shelves. And yet, and yet… it’s still not right.” So spake George R. R. Martin, who recently posted an illustration on his Not A Blog of what he’s always imagined the Iron Throne from A Song of Ice and Fire to be.
It makes our collective blood run a little cold, though it certainly inspires some serious awe. Take a look below at the full illustration, created by Marc Simonetti for the upcoming Song of Ice and Fire companion book The World of Ice and Fire. Here’s what Martin has to say on this rendering, after paying his respect to the HBO version: “It’s a rough, not a final version, so what you see in the book will be more polished. But Marc has come closer here to capturing the Iron Throne as I picture it than any other artist to tackle it. From now on, THIS will be the reference I give to every other artist tackling a throne room scene. This Iron Throne is massive. It’s a throne made by blacksmiths hammering together half-melted, broken, twisted swords, wrenched from the hands of dead men or yielded up by defeated foes… a symbol of conquest…” We think this illustration did the trick in terms of capturing the words that Martin put on paper. As he points out on his blog, the throne was originally constructed of words, not metal, which might be the reason why it’s such a difficult thing to smith into reality.
