SDCC 2013 Free Stuff

Trying to round up what we got free from SDCC. There wasn't as much really "good" free stuff like previous years but we did manage to get some stuff.

Every attendee (well almost everyone) got a free WB Swag Bag. This year was a backpack type bag with removable cape.

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.

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

Monster Worship held their SDCC festivities at the Dragatomi Booth for a few hours on  Friday of the show. Stoked that we got a great line number and got what we wanted which was Jeff Lamm's first painted Mecha Greasebat & the Greasebat & Friends Gummi Play Set in both Pink and Orange.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Domo

Dark Horse once again had some cool Domo exclusives for SDCC. The first one is the Toy2r Caveman Domo Qee. The Indomitable Abominable Domo & Electric Slide Domo were also exclusive to SDCC. Each tag was numbered and was sold exclusively in the Domo Store.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Super7

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Funko POP!s

The past year or so Funko has been getting a lot of great licenses for their POP! Vinyl Figures. Leave it to Funko to bring you over 50 exclusives ranging from hit shows such as The Big Bang Theory to TMNT. Funko literally had something for everyone. Funko also released their 2nd Volume of their World of POP! Book. They also released DC x DOMO T-Shirts. Unfortunately, by the time we ever got inside their booth just about everything was gone for the day.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Gargamel Micro Figures

Love collecting the micro figures from Gargamel. This year they did a blind bag micro figure release since these are usually released in their gatcha machine. From what we pulled, these were what we got minus duplicates, triples etc... It was tough trying to get the micro Killer or super hard to get chase micro Cyclo-Man (clear with blue guts). Luckily we recently acquired the micro Killer so only the super hard chase to look for.

As every year, Gargamel always has tons of custom standard figures with some smaller crouching & pocket size figures. They also released new Pocket Size figures in either Neon Pink or Neon Green.. If you bought the whole set of 7 you would get a special Crouching Hedoran. They also had a new Misty Fog Megalith, Mitari's Obake Mitari-chan & a special Butanohana Painted set as well other odds and ends.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Sanrio x Street Fighter Plush

Toynami x Capcom brought 2 Exclusive Plush for SDCC this year. Hello Kitty Akuma & Badtz Maru Ryu. Hello Kitty was the first to go each day of Toynami's allotment. Not only is this a must have for Street Fighter fans but also Hello Kitty & Sanrio fans. These were limited to 1000pcs each.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Paul Kaiju's Seagool & Mini Boss Carrion

Paul Kaiju always has one of the best releases at SDCC. Simple pick ups were just a new colorway of Seagool & a Mini Boss Carrion. He also had an unpainted GID Seagool too. Paul released his first vinyl figures of King Jinx. King Jinx is the crab looking monster on the sticker in the picture. As usual there was a wide array of offerings with many new and old friends.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Fig-Lab Tooti-Frooti Finger Five

Fig-Lab released the Tooti-Frooti Finger Five at SDCC 2013. These were at the 3D Retro Booth in case you didn't see these. For the first few days, they were only sold in sets but during a scheduled release they sold them separately. If you wanted every color of let's say Paul Kaiju's Uncle Biter you could buy every single color (6) plus they had specially painted ones etc... at that time.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Super7 Alien ReAction Figure 2-Pack

Super7 released the much anticipated Alien ReAction Figure 2-Pack Exclusive at SDCC 2013. From first hand experience the line was super long throughout the most of it not all through SDCC. By the time Preview Night ended, Super7 had SOLD OUT of the Alien ReAction Figure 2-Pack. A lot of fans were disappointed that they all sold out so fast but many were also there to pre-order their Alien ReAction Figure Series 1 which also meant that you got the Early Bird Package. This was only offered to those who pre-ordered at SDCC. (lots of pics after the jump)

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Hot Wheels Atari Beach Bomb "Asteroids" Pickup

For SDCC 2013, Mattel & Hot Wheels teamed up with Atari to release an exclusive Beach Bomb "Asteroids" Pickup Diecast exclusive. This is one of the last detailed hand polished Chrome Spectraflame that will ever be produced.

SDCC 2013 Toy Haul - Hot Wheels A-Team Custom GMC Panel Van

Outer Cardboard Mailer Box

If you grew up in 80's you'll remember The A-Team and one of the most popular members of the team was B.A. Baracus aka Mr.T. For SDCC 2013, Mattel & Hot Wheels released an exclusive A-Team Custom GMC Panel Van. It comes inside an awesome packaging which is made to look like The A-Team's Ammo Box. As awesome as the exclusive is itself, you really have to hand it Mattel's Package Designers who always comes up with some brilliant way to showcase their exclusives. We look forward to the packaging just as much as the exclusive itself.
