I am at the airport, so excuse any typos. Hasbro has just revealed more Marvel exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con, for the upcoming Ant-Man movie. The pair of exclusives feature a multi-pack of Ant-Men, presumably in scale with Marvel Universe figures (but with a size-changer, does it matter?) and a very cool tiny Ant-Man that comes packaged in a Pym-branded matchbook.

With its San Diego Comic-Con exclusives this year, Gentle Giant is expanding its vintage G.I. JOE product line… and shrinking it. Grunt, the infantry trooper, will be the latest vintage figure to be revealed in its 12-inch line. He may also be the first you can get into your hands. Rock ‘n Roll, Stalker, Snake Eyes, and Zap are in the pipeline for 12-inch but are expected to be released after SDCC.
Meanwhile, Snake Eyes and Rock ‘n Roll are serving double duty, launching a micro-figure scale with a 2-pack exclusive for the show. It’s not clear exactly how micro is micro, but seeing as how the figures will fit easily in the palm of your hand, they’ll be a good deal smaller than the classic 3 3/4-inch figures. Maybe 50% smaller, making them 1 7/8-inches?
You can pre-order these the Jumbo and Micro exclusives (and more) from Gentle Giant if you are a Premier Guild member.

I never realized just how many exclusives Funko produces each year for San Diego Comic-Con. They’re revealing them in batches, and we’ve collected the first week’s announcements here. They span their Dorbz, Hikari, Pop, ReAction, and Vinyl Idolz product lines, and covers their DC, Marvel, Disney, Hanna Barbera, Ghostbusters, Breaking Bad, and Dragonball Z licenses… just to name a few!
Unlike previous years, Funko is not offering the option to pre-order.
We should have two more updates with more Funko exclusives before the big show.

Although they weren’t included in Hasbro’s official SDCC 2015 press releases this weekend, they did announce a couple of G.I. JOE sets at G.I. JOECon a couple of months ago. The Desert Duel set will be available through Entertainment Earth / Toys R Us at the show, while the Crimson Strike set will be at the regular spot at the HasbroToyShop booth. I’ll look for additional info on how these may be available online after the show.
Suffice to say, I’m not expecting much more in terms of new G.I. JOE announcements at the show, but we can keep our fingers crossed.

With less than a month to go before the big show, Hasbro has finally unveiled their San Diego Comic-Con exclusives. Sure, we’d caught glimpses – Hasbro teased the Transformers Devastator on Facebook and shared the Marvel Legends Dr. Strange Book of Vishanti set with USA Today, and we got a sneak peek at the Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper on eBay.
But there’s more… all with official descriptions and prices from Hasbro, with high res photos to boot. Even if you’re not making it to San Diego, Hasbro will offer these exclusives after the show at HasbroToyShop.com. So get your wallets ready!
