Super7 x Funko Alien ReAction Figures!!!

WHOA!!!!! Super7 just announced that they have partnered with Funko to produce the Alien ReAction figures with them. That means the overall cost per figure will be cheaper going to $14.95 per figure instead of $19.95 which was the original price. The best part is that if you already Pre-ordered with Super7, you will get an additional 6th Mystery figure.

So the set will now cost $75 for those who have not pre-ordered. It also means you will not be getting the 6th Mystery figure. 

Check out their full announcement HERE or you can read it below:
"Funko™ and Super7™ are excited to announce a new strategic partnership to debut and extend the ReAction Figure™ 3 3/4″ line..

One of the most unique and highly anticipated toys of San Diego Comic-Con 2013 was the pre-order and launch of Super7′s™ ReAction Figures™ Alien™ line. From the “Lost Prototype” 2-pack and Early Bird Kit to the the full reveal of the final Alien™ ReAction figures™ , the collector community was in a frenzied state over this new “retro style” look of toys within the action figure community. At the same time, Funko’s™ continued growth and expanding product line made it’s San Diego Comic-Con booth one of the single most travelled spots of the entire convention. After years of sharing the same aisle together, Super7™ and Funko™ saw an incredible opportunity to leverage each other’s unique business insights into a more strategic partnership. Beginning with the launch of the Highly anticipated Alien™ ReAction Figures™ and then several licenses to be announced soon, both companies look to establish a firm collaborative footprint in the market with the ReAction Figures ™ line. 

Our original SRP was $19.95, and the 5 figure set was $100. Funko will be able to produce in much larger quantities and wider distribution, and has a $14.95 SRP, which is $75 for the set. We are aware of the discrepancy in price with the new agreement, so there is a additional, secret figure that will be included in the Super7 pre-orders that will be available only for those who pre-ordered sets of Alien from us, and will not be available anywhere else. (And preorders are long since closed.) We think it will be a nice thank you to everyone who believed in this project and pre-ordered ahead of time, being part of the excitement of the release of this long-awaited line of figures. 

Thank you to everyone who has helped making this toy line come true – we have a lot more surprises in store for you!"

Finally Got the RxH x Goccodo Bearos

Finally got this RxH x Goccodo Bearos figure in hand. Pre-ordered this a while back and finally got it in a couple of weeks ago. So stoked to finally get it in hand. Been wanting one ever since RxH & Goccodo announced this collaboration figure.

Despicable Me 2 Happy Meal Toys

Before SDCC, Mcdonalds in the U.S. released their Despicable Me 2 Happy Meal Toys. This movie was a hit and of course the main stars were the Minions which explains why every Happy Meal Toy was a Minion and not one of the girls or Gru etc... were in the set. We were able to get 7 of the 8 before SDCC and didn't get the last one until we came back. These look pretty good for Happy Meal Toys and they don't cost much either which is a plus.

If you wanted to be a super completest for these then there are different countries who released the Despicable Me 2 Happy Meal Toys too and certain countries get 1 or 2 different exclusive figures that other countries don't get. Some countries have more than 8 for their set. Definitely satisfied with the U.S. set and won't be trying to collect the ones from other countries.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Zerofriends Ren & Stimpy T-Shirt

Ok, technically not a toy but this was probably the only non-toy purchased at SDCC besides freebies. Zerofriends released their Ren & Stimpy t-shirt at SDCC. They also had a pretty good size print. This shirt was a must have! This made SDCC so much better since we stopped by the Zero Friends booth on the last day of the con before we headed back home. Best surprise and find and SDCC. Hopefully they'll be making some smaller prints.
Inside the shirt!

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Funko Fun Days POP!

Funko Fun Days always happens on Friday night during SDCC. This was our first year going since we weren't able to make it the previous years due to schedule conflicts. This year we made it a priority to attend. We purchased tickets when Funko announced they were up to purchase. The good thing about this event is that you didn't need to have a SDCC ticket to go to Fun Days. Fun Days is put together by Funko for their fans. At Fun Days, you get to meet other Funko collectors and the Funko Staff. You get to chow down on food and get a drink ticket.

Funko also give you a Mystery Box of Fun as you see in the picture above. No one is allowed to open it until Brian (Funko Owner/President) tells you to. After everyone is settled down at their tables and finished eating Brian gives his speech on what is in the works for Funko. One thing that really stuck in my mind is the fact that Funko will be producing toys in Japan (Make toys like Super7, their booth neighbors at SDCC.) For now we're keeping our eyes open to see what/which figures they will be making in Japanese vinyl.


SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Sanrio Hello Kitty Japanimation Plush

Sanrio made their first appearance at SDCC this year. Not only did they have a booth (Kitty-Chan Secret Space) but they had a pop-up shop set up (Hello Kitty Fashion Music Wonderland) outside in the Petco Interactive Zone. They had lots of different merchandise like pins, figures, purses, pillow, clothing etc.... They also had a billboard truck roaming the street with the Hello Kitty design plastered on the moving billboard with one of Hello Kitty's Lolita talking on the mic or waving to fans in the street. Hello Kitty was a huge theme in exclusives this year from not just having their own booth/pop-up shop with exclusives but also collaborations with Toynami/Capcom, Uglydolls, Funko, Viz Media etc.... Hopefully Sanrio will be back next year! :)

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Masters Of The Universe Classics Mini He-Man & Skeletor Figures

Mattel released their Master Of The Universe  Classics Mini He-Man & Skeletor figures at SDCC. The small scaled figures are great even for non-hardcore MOTU collectors. These are small enough so they don't take up too much space well unless you display them with the packaging inside this box. Don't know if there will be more mini figures down the road but there should be. Either way MOTU collectors were all over these no matter if they only made this set or more down the line.Check out more pics below:

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Despicable Me 2 Minion Dave Chara-Bricks

These were interesting pick-ups at SDCC. They had huge lifesize versions of the regular version of Dave on display which was an attention getter for sure along with versions of Iron Man & My Little Pony etc... These were sold at the Huckleberry Toys Booth. Regular Minion Dave is limited to 300pcs and GID Dave is limited to 50pcs. They are 7" tall. These are bigger versions of the Chara-Covers which they also had for sale. Minion Carl is coming soon! They had a prototype of him at SDCC.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Uglydoll x Hello Kitty

 
Uglydoll teamed up with Sanrio and released their Uglydoll x Hello Kitty Plush etc... at SDCC. This was an instant hit at SDCC. Everything was pretty much gone by Saturday. The Large Plush set that you see above, clip on plush (pic below), iphone cases, t-shirts, pins were sold exclusively at the the show. They also released a limited version of a vinyl figure collaboration by Funko which sold out immediately at the show.
If you missed out on the SDCC exclusives, you can buy the 7" (medium size) Uglydoll x Hello Kitty plush at a retailer near you or through the Uglydoll or Sanrio online store.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - DC Nation x Aardman Superman Action Figure

One exclusive that could not be passed up is DC x Aardman's Superman Action Figure. Check out their DC Nation Short below:

If you like this there are more shorts that you can find on Youtube.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Rotofugi

Here's what we picked up from Rotofugi at SDCC. We picked up 64 Colors' Mini Marshall, Chris Ryniak's Snybora & Coarse Toys' Omen Hoot & Hush. Rotofugi had quite a few exclusives for sale as well as customs & they even had a 1-Night Coarse Toys Show which unfortunately we forgot to go to.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Monster Worship x Jeff Lamm
