Southpark Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

South Park had their offsite activation pretty far away from everyone else this year. They had a ticketed RSVP line and stand by line. The tickets went as quick as they were released. They were pretty strict on the food/drink policy and that we couldn’t bring in any opened drinks or food including snacks. Kinda absurd to make people throw their stuff away. We get that they wanted us to buy their food, drinks and merch but that’s asking for too much. We were there to experience their activation. They had some cool theming inside and a few photo ops. They had a stage that showed clips from the show. They also had a South Park Trivia contest. Not sure how people were picked for it. On our way out from the activation they gave us button packs. It was an okay activation but not worth waiting in line for.

Sega Pop-Up Shop Visit

A few weeks ago we got the change to visit the Sega Pop-Up Shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The Pop-up was open June 27th to July 27th. They had exclusives that you could only get in Japan. When we stopped by a lot of what they had were sold out like the Dreamcast bag that was in the shape of the console. Picked up a Jet Grind Radio 25th Anniversary T-shirt. Overall,it was a cool pop-up with merch that we don't get here in the U.S. Check out some of our pics below of the pop-up. 

Super7 Godzilla Station Pop-Up at SDCC 2025 Recap

Super7 always has one of the most creative offsites / pop-ups during SDCC. This year they transformed their San Diego store location into the Godzilla Station. They put up a temporary facade featuring Godzilla attacking the train station and always dope artwork on the side of their store. Inside the pop-up featured exclusive Toho Godzilla merchandise. There were exclusive apparel and collectibles. They had a signing with Director Shinji Higuchi. There were lines every day they were opened for SDCC. By Saturday, the store looked pretty empty. One of the sought after items is the Godzilla Station coin which you could pick up at their booth inside the convention center or at their pop-up. See pics below of their pop-up.
