Comikaze Expo Loot!

It's not a show unless you have exclusives! Well our exclusive pickups were a bit on the lighter side at this show. There was not much vinyl toys at this show besides Funko POP! Figures. There were quite a few exclusives. The main one that a lot of people were after was the Stan Lee Funko POP! Vinyl Figure. The other Funko POP! Exclusives were at Hot Topic and Fugitive Toys. We picked up a cool poster at the Bongo Booth.

Oh yeah and can't forget the Blanka Hello Kitty Plush Exclusive from Toynami.  

 

Overall the show was good. It's still growing. In one day you could see everything and pretty much get everything you want. There's tons of space between each booth and you aren't shuffling like at SDCC.
