SDCC 2022 Recap

Super late post but a lot of our pictures can be found on instagram. We will have a link at the end of this post so you can view our pictures from SDCC 2022. 

Recap- 2022 was the first year back in full force since the pandemic. What was different this year was that we had to get a wristband that showed we were vaccinated or had a negative covid test prior to attending. We had to stand in a line to show proof to get the wristband in order to get inside the convention center. For those of us that were there for 4+ days had to wear the wristband, the wristband took a beating lol. You probably could get a new one but why waste more time in another line when there was more important things to do. Everyone was required to mask up which was good because it was just as crowded inside the exhibit hall pre-pandemic.

Exclusives? Of course there were exclusives. A lot of companies like Neca and Mattel had pre-orders to have them shipped after the show. Others, you had to enter a lotto via the comic-con portal to get a chance to get a time slot in order to purchase exclusives. Towards the later part of the day when all the groups that got their chance to purchase exclusives, anyone could get in line to buy what was left that day such as Funko, Mondo etc... Hasbro had their exclusives released differently this year where you had to go to their booth to get a QR Code to be able to purchase their exclusives. Those were gone in a flash once the exhibit hall doors opened. 

 

Noticeably absent from SDCC this year was the massive WB Booth. Some booths that were usually in their same spots year after year moved to different parts of the floor. Funko had a huge presence and turned their huge space into Funkoville. Funko consisted of Loungefly and Mondo which they acquired a few months before SDCC. They also had huge POP! Statues of Squid Games characters.  

SDCC 2015 Recap - Part 1

Preview Night

SDCC aka San Diego Comic Con was held July 8th (preview night) - July 12th. We've had a couple of weeks to recover from the 4 1/2 days of madness. The picture above was Preview Night and this picture was the calm before the storm. The weather was nice the whole time. It wasn't too hot or too cold. Pretty sure no one really wants to read through this lol so will try to keep this short and to the point.

If you've never been to SDCC. One question... Do you like to stand in line? If not, SDCC is going to be a challenge for you. There are literally lines for everything. There are lines to get into lines to get into yet another line etc... and depending on what you're planning to do, get autographs, exclusives, see a panel, outside events etc... there is going to be lines.

If you like pictures, we have a lot from various companies/events.
