It's That Time of Year Again for SDCC 2021 or Comic-Con @ Home!

After a sporadic hiatus from blogging for most of 2020 and 2021, we're back just in time for SDCC 2021 or Comic Con @ Home again. With things slowly going back to normal, other job reduced hours so not working as much there which means a lot more down time to start blogging again about the latest toys, pop culture, comic cons etc... Health wise, we are all good. Hand injury from my other job has healed and haven't been back to the doctor since January of this year. 

A lot of companies have been announcing their comic-con exclusives and will continue to do so leading up to comic-con @ home or will have their own way of celebrating comic con this year virtually again since SDCC in San Diego won't be back until 2022 where by then all the covid variants will hopefully end and we can enjoy life as it was back in 2019. There will be panels again and lots of other fun stuff that CCI will have again this year. They will have new exclusive Comic Con merchandise for sale next week as well. Comic-Con @ Home is scheduled for July 23rd-25th.

2021 Let's Try This Again!

 

Well 2020 was the biggest dumpster fire and not to mention that the Dumpster Fire Vinyl Figure was the toy of the year and produced by 100% Soft. It'll probably be a good choice for this year too but with vaccines rolling out for covid-19 as well as the various different mutated strains who knows when this will be contained and life will go back to normal somewhat. The GPK Adam Bomb ReAction figure is also shown in the picture above as well. This figure was produced by Super7 and released as part of the NYCC 2020 release. As we know all conventions and large gatherings were cancelled so a lot of shows either had their cons online via Zoom, Youtube etc... Super7 as well as many companies released their exclusives online. 

It's been a challenge in keeping this blog up and running. Lack of motivation on top of the pandemic and a hand injury from my other job that has been a nuisance for well over 6+ months. Definitely going to try and get motivated to start posting new posts. There's a lot of product that we have for review and will be getting to those asap. Now that my hand is better (*knock on wood) I can hold a camera, use a computer mouse and actually type without having to stop due to pain. 

Here's hoping that 2021 is going to be better for everyone. Back to the toys and collecting!!! Stay Safe!
