Laying claim to the Iron Throne is easier than one imagined for Game of Thrones fans in Manila.
An iconic feature in HBO’s Emmy and Golden Globe winning Game of Thrones series, HBO Asia’s life-sized replica of the Iron Throne is now at National Book Store's Glorietta 1 outlet till April 28, for fans to experience and photograph.
The 8ft tall Iron Throne is a spectacular sight to behold. Handcrafted from resin in the Philippines, with each sword individually moulded and put together, the magnificent structure took HBO Asia more than two months to produce. First unveiled at Bonifacio Global City, HBO Asia announced on April 10 through Twitter that the Iron Throne would be taken around Manila for more fans to see and experience.
HBO Asia’s Head of Marketing, Creative and Content, Magdalene Ew, said "The Iron Throne has been such a wildly popular feature in Manila that we were inspired to seek new opportunities for even more Game Of Thrones fans across the city to experience it live. What better place than at National Book Store's flagship store at Glorietta 1."
New locations of the Iron Throne will be broadcast on Twitter @HBOAsia. All are encouraged to post their experiences on the Iron Throne on social media and join the conversation using hashtags #IronThronePH and #HBOAsiaGOTS5.
Based on the bestselling fantasy book series by George R.R. Martin, HBO's GAME OF THRONES series tells an epic story of treachery and nobility set on the continent of Westeros, where summers and winters can last years, and only the lust for power is eternal
