Beast Kingdom from Taiwan will have two super cute exclusives at San Diego Comic-Con, courtesy of Blue Fin. Darth Vader and Iron Man will be featured in their “Egg Attack” looks, which I think are thusly named for their oversized but adorable egg-shaped noggins.
Both feature LED lights, and the Iron Man has a truly remarkable magnetic floating feature that allows it to hover, spinning, over its base. Bluefin products will be located on the Main Hall in Booths #3545 and #140.
The Four Horsemen had previously announced they would be releasing a pair of their Kickstarter Gothitropolis Ravens variants with Action Figure Xpress at San Diego Comic-Con. With this update, they shared the good news that the exclusives would also come with accessories. AFX’s exclusive, the translucent Decimus Hrabban, will include a similarly decoed battle pack. Like the add-on for the Kickstarter project, the battle pack includes an alternate screaming head, a helmet that fits both, and a saber. The Four Horsemen’s exclusive, the Golden Eagle variant, will sport the colors of the US Navy and come with the American flag cape accessory included with the Kickstarter Golden Eagle.
Both are priced at $35 and will be available at the AFX booth (#3345) at SDCC starting on Preview Night. Happy Con!
Here’s the third batch of announcements from Funko’s SDCC exclusives. They span their Dorbz, Hikari, Pop, ReAction, and Vinyl Idolz product lines, and covers their DC, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, Hanna Barbera, and Ghostbusters licenses… just to name a few!
Funko also announced a signing with Hannibal executive producer Bryan Fuller:
We are thrilled to announce our Bryan Fuller Pop! figure! The man behind Hannibal bears an eerie resemblance to Hannibal Lector!
This Pop! comes in a run of 144 pieces and will be available during his signing at the Funko booth on Friday, July 10th at 2 p.m.! The line for our Bryan Fuller signing will not begin to form before 1 p.m. and we will only sell Bryan Fuller Pop!s during the signing. We will not sell other Funko items during that time!
While we were expecting just three batches of announcements, maybe Funko will have a final one before the show. Stay tuned!

We’ve got the second batch of exclusives and new product announcements from LEGO for San Diego Comic-Con. This week has items from their DC and Scooby Doo licenses. (The PR kit we received has Roy Harper marked as a Marvel Super Heroes release – maybe we’ll get to see who actually proofreads their news! :D)
We’ve also updated last week’s SDCC Lego digest with additional packaged shots, and we’ll have more LEGO updates leading up to the big show. Cheers!

Playmates has revealed its Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exclusive for San Diego Comic-Con – an 11-inch vac-metal plated Metal Mutants Leonardo. Long-time TMNT fans may recognize the Metal Mutants from 1995, when Playmates released the four turtles and Shredder under that moniker. Playmates gave some hints as to why Leo is bedecked in metal this time around, saying, “There was a previous Metal Mutants line, but that was more about animal spirit armor, not exploring Dimension X.”
No word yet on the price of the exclusive. I imagine we’ll see more Metal Mutants from Playmates at the big show, but wonder if there will be more in the 11-inch size or if Leo will be a one-off.
