There are a lot of "Game of Thrones" super-fans out there. They own dragon-egg cookie jars, plush direwolf puppies. The really fancy fans might even have $30,000 Iron Throne replicas¹.

《权力的游戏》有很多超级粉丝，他们有龙蛋饼干盒、冰原狼毛绒玩偶等等，甚至有粉丝拥有价值3万美元的铁王座复制品。

But only one fan owns an Iron Throne toilet. "Super-Fan Builds," a YouTube series that's created among other things a Groot swing, a BioShock aquarium² and a "Lord of the Rings" litter box, took on the task of building the pointiest privy³ ever made.

The lucky fan is John Giovanazzi, a bar owner who keeps "Game of Thrones" beer on tap at his establishment. Prop-making company Tim Baker⁴ Creations started by taking measurements of the bathroom space destined⁵ to hold the Iron Throne latrine. Next came the design phase. "People are drinking. You probably don't want a toilet that has lots of sharp spikyedges on it," says Baker.

The Iron Throne toilet is made with a plywoodbase and back plate and fake swords. Sword hilts are cast using plastic. Some of the blades are fashioned from neoprene foam⁶ to allow them to bend around the shape of the chair. The throne looks very naked until the painting starts, when it begins to take on the color and look of the famous throne design from the TV series.

The Iron Throne shell is installed over a functioning toilet in Giovanazzi's bar with a conveniently placed sword hilt acting⁷ as a toilet-paper holder⁸. Even the toilet seat is painted to blend in with the metallic⁹ look of the majesticseat.
