Super Troopers 3 Pop-Up at SDCC 2026

Super Troopers 3 had a cool pop-up in the Gaslamp during comic con. There wasn't much of a line when we stopped by. Walked right on in. Free pancakes and coffee. Play some games or do a few activities and then pick up some cool Super Troopers 3 swag. Definitely an underrated offsite experience. Wait times were minimal to no wait. They need a lot more pop-ups like this throughout comic con.

Paramount+ The Lodge was back once again this year at SDCC. This has been one of the most popular offsite activation at SDCC for the last several years. Getting reservations ahead of time is extremely hard. Most just wait in the standby line. This year they had a variety of shows represented inside. Avatar: The Last Airbender, South Park, UFC, Star Trek along with photo ops, food, drinks and swag. This year they also implemented a wristband that needed to be scanned when you were served or given any food, drink or swag. A lot of time could be cut down if swag wasn't getting personalized or had to be made and if some immersive stuff didn't take too long to set up and reset after each person if you know what i mean. Always a good time regardless! 

Adult Swim on the Green 2026

Adult Swim on the Green was back for another year of awesomeness at SDCC this year. It was really odd that Adult Swim was the only offsite activation behind the convention center this year. Adult Swim brought in a Rick & Morty ride, mini golf, games etc... along with their nightly panels and screenings. Most days they opened at 1pm except Sunday. Wed was for press/media/vip.

SDCC 2025 Final Recap

Hank Hill walking around outside the King of the Hill Offsite 

SDCC 2025 was just as epic as previous years. This year we focused on a lot of the offsite activation that were held all around the convention center and throughout the Gaslamp / downtown SD area. The exhibition hall is huge every year. Most companies that have exclusives have their own rules/handling of how their exclusives will be sold. All of that is usually announced through their socials or website. The big ones that attracts the biggest fan base with highly sought after exclusives were Mattel, Funko, Pop Mart, 100% Soft, UCC Distributing and more. 

One of the most epic things we saw inside the exhibit hall this year was at the LEGO booth! They built SDCC, convention center and booths!!! 

Below is our slideshow that we posted on our Instagram account.  

FX Alien Earth Prodigy Corp, The Wreckage & The Wreckage: Code Red Activations at SDCC 2025

FX Prodigy Corp Drop Site, The Wreckage and The Wreckage: Code Red…. 3 different activations by FX. FX Prodigy Corp Drop Site was where fans can sign up to be an FX Insider to claim exclusive giveaways and first look at Alien: Earth VR Experience.

The Wreckage lets fans explore the mysterious debris of the USCSS Maginot and features various interactive thrills and alien specimens. Also on site is the special collab vending machine with Chain where the you are given an Alien Earth Hyper Fizz drink.

If you did not get to experience The Wreckage: Code Red you missed out big time. This was the best activation out of all of the ones we attended this year at comic con. The actors were so good and very in character. It was engaging from start to finish. Definitely worth the wait in line.

Check out our pics below:

 

These were given out at the drop site activation. There's a better pic of this at the end of the post. 

 

Once we finished the activation we were given a pin and a can of the Alien Earth Drink collab with Chain.
