SDCC 2025 Final Recap

Hank Hill walking around outside the King of the Hill Offsite 

SDCC 2025 was just as epic as preview 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.  

Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

We checked out the Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation during SDCC. You had to be 18+ to participate in the Bumper Battle and also had to sign a waiver. The standby line moved fairly quickly. Once you get inside there were photo ops featuring some of the cars and vehicles from the show as well as the Twisted Metal ice cream truck which meant free ice cream. They also handed out free masks and posters. Check out the pictures below:
