Was at Comcon on Saturday and just have to say WELL DONE Showmasters for aquiring the Iron Throne prop. Fantastic idea and together with the huge iron sword just put the icing on the cake! The black backdrop to the photo shoot was inspired togerther with the cost of the photo a very reasonable £5 was just right. Altogether we had 5 photos, my daughter having 2 being a huge GOT fan! So Showmasters MORE PROPS PLEASE for future conventions that people can have photos with and keep up the good work :)))))))))))

It was a great photoshoot. Before going in I said to my friend it's a shame that I don't have a sword for the photo. Then as I got closer in the queue I saw a sword was being used as a prop. Great photoshoot with the backdrop being excellent as well.

Must admit these came out better than I ever expected, and a highlight for many people in the end!

I thought that this was actually the best photoshoot in terms of style an execution.

A great idea and for the price I had to do it. 
but just keep it at that price or free next time.

The GoT throne was just awesome and my pic turned out so great!
And I totally agree with you about the green power ranger!

I was so pleased with my photo, thanks for getting the throne SM. More prop photoshoots in the future would be great.

Yeah this was a real highlight for me and when I walked past the photo collection area, it really persuaded me to have one done.
It looked good, right mood/setting and the photo turned out pretty cool. Really worth the money/wait. Thanks!

I wasn't too sure when I saw the first results on Friday but so glad I did. The only thing that might have made it better would have been a bit of smoke for mood (although some people are allergic to it and it could be a problem to keep doing all day) and maybe someone to suggest a good pose but for £5, well worth it.

The throne was brilliant!! I got my photo on the Friday. My friend and I had things pretty organised: queue for photoshoot tickets and then straight to the throne so we were one of the first there,. It was just so awesome and for £5, such a bargain! After seeing my picture, I now feel power hungry....

I loved getting my pic taken sitting on the Iron Throne. The prop was awesome and I hope either that or other props are brought to a future convention. :)

Totally agree with the smoke, I thought that too when I was picking my photo up! Can't complain though.

Was a great prop, great price and love that they had a sword prop as well. Was definitely a highlight.
Though it did take me a while to find it, the map had me confused as it showed the throne in the wrong location.
