Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Sandman

Here’s my top three “Best in Show” at SDCC this year!

3) Green Lantern Classics

I had not bought monthly comic books in a long time, but the Blackest Night storyline got me coming back every month when the series was still going on. Green Lantern has been on a roll lately, and with the movie coming out next year, it’s high time that Mattel finally gives this corner of the DC Universe it’s due. Seriously, the Green Lantern Corps alone could fill up a couple of waves, now that we have a rainbow spectrum of corps, there are lots more characters to choose from!

We got to see a double knee-jointed Kyle Rayner, Arkillo, Low(one of my favorite sculpts!), Maash, and Manhunters at the Con and boy do they look great. I can’t wait until they get to Atrocitus, Saint Walker and Arisia! Also this line is just full of potential army builders. You can expect collectors to pick up multiple Manhunters, and customizers to pick up multiple base bodies to create their own corps members. It’ll be an exciting time for Green Lantern toy fans next year! And woohoo for that preview Ch’p pic!

Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Talyn

I wasnt expecting much surprise from Marvel this year but the Sentinel in the new scale size really grabbed me. This is the giant Sentinel I have wanted since I was 11, watching the X-Men cartoon on Saturday morning. And with the new cartoon-style Cyclops coming out, they will make an awesome display.

Best of San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – Buzzy Fret

There was so much cool stuff revealed at SDCC 2010 it almost makes me cry when I think of how broke I’m going to be this next coming year. Mattel, for one, is really gonna give my wallet a pounding. Even though so much cool new stuff was shown, it wasn’t hard for me to pick my “Top Three Best from SDCC”.

3) The Four Horsemen’s new Symbiotech line!

These immediately grabbed my attention with the first pic Ron posted of the Tygos & Tygolith prototypes. I’m normally not a fan of 4″ action figure lines but a line designed by The 4H with cool anthropomorphic  4″ characters coupled with huge and equally cool looking anthropomorphic characters = WIN! Can’t wait to hear more updates about Symbiotech from the Horsemen.

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Exclusives on Sale on 8/2

Don’t forget – Monday at Noon EST, Mattel’s exclusives from San Diego Comic-Con go on sale on MattyCollector.com. Here’s the link to the bundled page.

Orko and Plastic Man sold out at the show first, and I imagine some people who got Orko at SDCC will be trying for this version too, because it doesn’t have the semi-translucent appearance that the Con-only color-change version does. Good luck!

San Diego Comic-Con 2010 – DC Universe – Funko Force 2

Sector1014 reports in with some coverage from San Diego Comic-Con with some urban vinyl DC figures from Funko that we missed completely. Also, be sure to check out his primer on Kamandi: The Learn-to-Love-Him Article (I did, and you can too). DC Universe Classics wave 14 should be out soon.

SDCC DC Funko Force 2

One of the best things about going to Comic-Con is finding cool things you’ve never seen before.  On Thursday morning I made my way through Funko’s booth and found a new line of DC Universe figures that was a pleasant surprise.  According to the guys at the booth, they’re part of a brand new DC Universe line in a new format for Funko called Funko Force 2.0. There were four con exclusives to kick start the DC line (a glow-in-the-dark Green Lantern, two versions of Batman, and a Batgirl–it’s just the paint decos that are exclusive to SDCC, as each of these characters will have regular versions):
