Matt Smith is best known to sci-fi fans for his goofy, bowtie-wearing portrayal of the Eleventh Doctor on Doctor Who. Now, Smith is entering another mega-franchise by taking on the role of Daemon Targaryen in HBO’s new Game of Thrones prequel show, House of the Dragon. He’ll also be joining the Marvel universe in the role of Loxias Crown, a.k.a. Hunger, in Sony’s vampiric comic book movie Morbius. Whether you are a lifelong Whovian, a Game of Thrones obsessive, or a fan of Smith’s role in The Crown, you can express your love for the versatile actor with these collectibles.
1. Aegon Targaryen Golden Dragon: $14
House of the Dragon takes place over 100 years before Game of Thrones, so even though we won’t see Daenerys and her dragons, we’ll get to see her ancestors flying around. Matt Smith will be playing her six-time great grandfather Daemon Targaryen. Aegon the Conqueror, the first lord of the Seven Kingdoms, is Daemon’s second-great grandfather, who brought the dynastic family to the shores of Westeros after the Doom of Valyria. This coin, emblazoned with the words of House Targaryen, symbolizes the fighting spirit of the family.

2. Fezzes are Cool Essential T-Shirt: $20
Though Smith was primarily seen in his professor-like duds as the Eleventh Doctor, complete with a tweed jacket, bowtie, and suspenders, he also dabbled in other looks. When River Song asks the Doctor what is on his head, he says, “It’s a fez. I wear a fez now. Fezzes are cool.” And thus, an obsession was born.

3. Spider-Man #76 Vol. 1: $20

To commemorate this new role he is taking on, try reading the character’s first appearance in this issue of Spider-Man, which came out in January 1997.

8. Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin: $22
HBO’s new show House of the Dragon is based on George R.R. Martin’s 2018 book Fire & Blood. This book is the first in a two-part history of the Targaryen family, though the second one hasn’t been released yet. To get ready for the show—while you drink from your beer stein, look at your sigil banner, and marvel at your Aegon coin—make sure to pick up a copy of this book to catch up on what the Targaryens got up to well before Daenerys arrived.

9. Eleventh Doctor Sonic Screwdriver: $60
When each new Doctor arrives, they get their own sonic screwdriver, and the TARDIS usually changes to match their personality. Though the listing for this product it’s the sonic screwdriver used by the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, it isn’t. As a true Whovian, we all know his sonic screwdriver was bright blue, while the Eleventh Doctor’s was gold, white, and had a green light. So pretend you are about to meet up with Amy and Rory Pond and zap away.

10. Targaryen Sigil Two-Pack of Socks: $10
Now that you have a copy of Fire & Blood, all you need for the perfect cozy reading day is a pair of socks. Why not make those socks also based on the book? This two-pack of Targaryen-themed socks features the house sigil so you can feel like you’re in Westeros while you read.
