Dark Horse has been awarded a license to produce merchandise based on HBO’s Game of Thrones series. Product lines will include statues, busts, and action figures; prop and jewelry replicas; and barware, stationery, and other collectibles.  First up will be magnets, patches, playing cards, coaster sets, and more. 

The line will debut in March 2012, leading into the April premiere of the second season.

Game of Thrones has proven to be a potent license in its existing categories of games and comics (see “Game of Thrones Moving Product”).
