Yes, Game of Thrones fans. A talking plushie doll of George R.R. Martin will be available for purchase at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.
The doll, which will be available exclusively at the massive convention, is produced by Factory Entertainment. Dressed in full battle armor and bearing the turtle sigil preferred by the author, plushie George R.R. Martin is certain to have a similar effect to his real-life counterpart’s fiction work.
That is, thrill them to pieces and/or horrify them into a stunned and shell-shocked silence.
Martin himself will not be attending San Diego Comic-Con this year, but thanks to the plushie, his voice will still have a place at the massive geek gathering. Mini-George R.R. Martin will parrot out 12 quotes recorded by the author; we suspect that one of these will simply be a minute of maniacal laughter.
The plushie toy also wields a fuzzy battle axe. According to Factory Entertainment, “George has never been more prepared to kill your favorite character!”
Each toy comes with a collector’s card signed by Martin. Only 500 pieces of the Comic-Con exclusive toy have been produced, and comes at a price of $60.00.
Another, slightly simpler mini-Martin is also available from Factory Entertainment. The non-Comic-Con version retails for $29.99, and is dressed in Martin’s standard uniform of button-up shirt and suspenders. This version of GRRM has 10 recorded quotes to share.

Factory Entertainment has already capitalized on the market for cute-ified interpretations of Game of Thrones‘ wilder elements. The company produces plush versions of Stark direwolves, Targaryen dragon eggs, a dragon, and Bran Stark’s mysterious Three-Eyed Raven. Shield pillows designed as House Sigils are also available, but are inadvisable for use in combat.
Still, we have to admit that Factory Entertainment has raised the bar with the plushie George R.R. Martin. We thought we’d seen the epitome of strange with the recently-announced Game of Thrones coloring book — but clearly, we hadn’t seen anything yet.
The Game of Thrones season 5 finale, “Mother’s Mercy,” airs on Sunday at 9:00 p.m. on HBO.
