Man Gifted With the Ultimate Game of Thrones Toilet

The folks at Super-Fan Builds have created an epic toilet for one lucky <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/game%20of%20thrones?os=game+of+thrones>Game of Thrones fan.

If there's one thing the real world and the world of Game of Thrones have in common, it's that most people would love the opportunity to sit on <a href=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/125872-Game-of-Thrones-Creator-HBOs-Iron-Throne-Not-What-I-Want>the Iron Throne. And while, sadly, most of never will, John Giovanazzi will now have the chance to do so whenever nature calls. A huge fan of all things Westerosian, Giovanazzi recently found himself the recipient of a one-of-a-kind gift that would be the envy of any Lannister: a custom-made Iron Throne toilet.

Built by the Tim Baker and his team of prop builders for their YouTube <a href=https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUUGFk1wE5OGpRRvLlDE6flFBcFRTGKVI>show Super-Fan Builds, the toilet was built after Giovanazzi's friend Chloe nominated him as someone deserving of the throne. The toilet itself was built primarily from plywood. Baker's team also made custom sword-hilt casts that they then used to produce more than 250 foam-bladed swords which were then strategically placed to flesh out the wooden frame. The whole thing was then coated in resin to improve its durability, after which it was covered in layers upon layers of paint to make it more closely match its famous source. The chair was delivered to Givonazzi's bar Complex where the Super-Fan Builds crew surprised him with it.

As awesome looking as the end product was, I'm going to go ahead and say that there's something about going to the bathroom on the Iron Throne that would unsettle me. I mean, just think about it. No matter what you're doing, you're rarely more vulnerable than when you're sitting on the can with your pants down around your ankles. Why would you want to take that already risky situation and add in a chair that every noble house in Westeros is dying and killing to get control of? It's like you're just asking for someone to come along and shoot you with a crossbow. What do you think? Would you feel safe doing a number two on Westeros's number one chair?

I watched this yesterday and honestly compared to the past people reaction (check out their past builds, it's awesome) he didn't actally look that excited.

I guess it was somewhat reasonable but still I would be stock for having an unquie toliet!

Much like the swordy throne itself, I'm averse to sitting on anything containing pointy-points.

Likewise, I know that would never happen with this one but still, there are a lot of points on that thing. >.>

OT: Looks pretty bad ass, not a fan of the series but I'll admit, it looks cool!

Think of it this way: some day, you will be dead. You'll find yourself standing in judgement before the gods themselves. Assuming a Norse/Aztec type of situation, where your afterlife depends on how you died, you could do a whole lot worse than "fictional characters broke through the walls of reality itself to steal my toilet and I died defending it". Even if that doesn't get you where you want to go, would you rather be the person who gets to spend eternity boasting about it, or the person who has to spend eternity listening to it?

Hey, it's Chloe from Heroes of Cosplay. Man, one decent show on SyFy and this is what she gets. Must be nice to have those few minutes of fame.
