We should have seen it coming. HBO, not one to pass up merchandise licensing opportunities that yield things like action figures and bobbleheads, released a watch for its racy and violent fantasy series, "Game of Thrones." A watch was only a matter of time.

HBO must think some of its fans are doing well--25 of them, anyway. That's the number of "The Nights' Watch" timepieces produced. The HBO store also offers standard themed gewgaws like the Jon Snow bobblehead for $9.99, and family arms t-shirts for $24.99. And for those in the throes of Thrones, there's a $30,000, 350-pound life-size Iron Throne.
