Diamond
is bringing 22 con-exclusives to the show from Marvel Comics, DC
Collectibles, Diamond Select Toys, IDW, BOOM! Studios, Dynamite, Oni
Press, Funko, Medicom Toy, and the Wonderland Toy Company. Attendees
interested in the exclusives will be directed to retailers on the
convention floor who have them available for purchase.
Additional products showcased at the booth include the latest offerings from Bandai America with their Godzilla, Power Rangers, and SPRUkits toy lines; new comic-branded trains from Lionel; Marvel Nendoriods and Figmas from the Good Smile Company; a glow-in-the-dark Cthulhu from Warpo Toys; TMNT clay sculpts from Threezero; new PREVIEWS exclusives from Funko, high quality Halloween masks and more will be available to admire for con-goers.
The Cthulhu fans can get their first look at the glow-in-the-dark and standard 12" Cthulhu that will be debuting at the Diamond booth. With an MSRP of $125, the glow in the dark 12" Cthulhu packaged in an early 1980’s style, full-color box designed by artist Ken Kelly, will have a limited production run, features removable wings, 7 points of articulation, and pliable "gripping hands," suited for grasping 3.75" action figures to their doom.
Also debuting at the booth will be four unique clay sculpts for the upcoming Threezero and Kevin Eastman 1/6th scale Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectible figures. The four TMNT figures will include Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo designed by TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman specifically for this collaboration. The figures in this series will be 1/6th scale and fully-articulated, featuring tailored fabric clothing and the various weapons recognizable by fans as their classic accessories. The four figures from Threezero will be released later this year for pre-order through the PREVIEWS catalog at comic book specialty shops.
The
Diamond/ PREVEIWS booth will also feature a Star Wars section as
attendees can stop by and view the new Peavey Star Wars Guitars and
Straps and Santa Cruz Skateboards and Decks. During the show, fans
will have the opportunity to enter for a chance to win a Santa Cruz
Star Wars Vader Skateboard and a Peavey Star Wars Boba Fett Predator
Guitar. Star Wars characters, C-3PO, R2-D2, R5-D4 and Jawas will
also be present at the booth each day for pictures.
