I Can’t Believe San Diego Comic-Con is Almost Here!

I got this notice from Warner Bros. about their bags for Comic-Con. When you are picking up loot, whether it’s something you’re buying or promotional swag a booth babe is handing to you, you need someplace to put it as you walk the floor. You would not believe what a life-saver it is to get your hands on these huge backpack bags that they hand out as you enter the San Diego Convention Center.

Anyways, I am woefully unprepared for SDCC. I am wrapping up a family reunion this week – we try to get together at least once a year, usually during summer when all my nieces and nephews are out of school – and almost as soon as I get home, it’s back to the road for San Diego Comic-Con.

As usual, we’ll be providing updates directly from the show floor and during the evenings when we’re recuperating in our hotel rooms. Be sure to follow us on Twitter, like us on Facebook, and subscribe to our Youtube channel. And for updates as they’re happening, be sure to follow my AFPRon Instagram account.

Updates may be light at the start of next week, but it’ll pick up on Wednesday!

Check Out the Street Fighter x Sanrio and Futurama SDCC Exclusives from Toynami

I was just mulling over the Skelanimal Harley Quinn SDCC exclusive from Toynami when I came across the rest of the Toynami exclusives for this year. Since my wife jumped through hoops to get the Hello Kitty Chun Li, I know we’ll be in line for these mashup versions of Akuma and Ryu – Badtz Maru is the bad-ass of the Hello Kitty-verse, so I must have Badtz Ryu.

Futurama fans will want the Destructor vs Gender Bender box set from the Ultimate Robot Fighting League episode. I’ve got a hankering to watch some episodes on Netflix now.

Toynami Reveals San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Skelanimals DC Harley Quinn Marcy Mini Plush

My wife went head over heels over the Hello Kitty Street Fighter Chun Li exclusive from last year’s SDCC. But we didn’t pick it up the first time we saw it and it was sold out by the time we went back. I am betting that with the Comic-Con crowd, Harley Quinn will go even faster.

Watch Mattel’s Video Preview of the SDCC Exclusive Man of Steel Superman vs. General Zod 2-Pack

Video Preview Man of Steel Superman vs. General Zod

In other Man of Steel toy news, I missed this video preview from Mattel on the Man of Steel 2-pack featuring angry Superman vs Zod. I had guessed when Mattel first revealed the heat vision feature for Superman that the packaging would have an LED pointed at Superman’s head. I was wrong – the Superman figure has a button on his back that activates lights in his head.

While the button is not that intrusive, it wasn’t clear to me from the video if the light-up feature means that there’s no point of articulation for Supes’ head.
