SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Painted Clear Seagool by Paul Kaiju x Lulubell

Paul Kaiju also brought with him the 1st painted clear vinyl version of Seagool. Of course I had to buy this too! Inside Seagool you can see the shiny grass tinsel. Loving this painted version. Can't wait to see more!

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Clear Seagool by Paul Kaiju x Lulubell

Paul Kaiju has turned his resin Seagool into Vinyl form by Lulubell. Paul brought a lot of stuff for his turn in the GFS/O'nell booth. He brought a lot of stuff. Sadly though I did not know he was handing out tickets beforehand and got a really high number but luckily I was able to get the Seagool which was my main want. The first one up is an all clear vinyl Seagool. Stands about 4.5" tall.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Clear Greasebat by Jeff Lamm x Monster Worship

Clear Greasebat with paper guts insert by Jeff Lamm x Monster Worship. What can I say, Greasebats are aweseome! No luck with his other figures Stee-Gar & M5 Bravo. There were only 5 sets available. Oh well there will always be more colorways. I was super stoked to get the Clear Greasebat as it more than made up for missing out on Jeff's other figures. Enough of me talking. On to the pictures:

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - The Lake Monsters Snybora by Squibbles Ink x Rotofugi x Chris Ryniak

Squibbles Ink x Rotofugi had a great number of releases at SDCC this year. Another exclusive that we picked up from them is The Lake Monsters "Baby Mossback" Snybora by Chris Ryniak. Amazing figure and was another must have exclusive from SDCC.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Hot Wheels Franken Berry Diecast by Mattel

Mattel's Hot Wheels Franken Berry Die-cast exclusive. Like with a lot of Mattel's products they come in a mailer box which helps a little with the protection of the product inside. Check out the pics below:

Outer White Mailer Box

Comes wrapped in tissue paper.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Hot Wheels Back To The Future Delorean by Mattel

Next up is Mattel's Hot Wheels Back To The Future Delorean die-cast diorama display case. When Mattel first announced this as an exclusive, they did not show what was inside the box. The box itself was made to look like the Plutonium case as seen in BTTF.

Comes in a brown outer box.

Pull this out of the brown box.

Very nice Packaging design.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - Gremlins' Gizmo by Neca Toys

Gremlins' Gizmo by Neca Toys. This was a huge WANT on my list when Neca revealed this as one of their exclusives. As you can see this was not only a SDCC exclusive but Gizmo also came with his own SDCC badge, sunglasses and his very own SDCC swag bag that he can fit in.

Can't wait to rip the package open and display Gizmo in the SDCC bag. Also want to mess with the eyes since they can be moved. (They better not move by themselves! Would seriously be freaked out!) Remember folks, do not feed him after midnight. Now having second thoughts about opening it.

SDCC11 Toy Haul Spotlight - GID Gumdrop by 64 Colors

We are going to start this Post SDCC wrap up with some of our haul that we picked up at SDCC this year. First up is the GID Gumdrop by 64 Colors x Squibbles Ink x Rotofugi. Gumdrop is Marshall's little dog. SDCC was the place to get your hands on the adorable GID Gumdrop. He's so cute. How can you not love him? All we need now is a GID Marshall.

If you were not able to make it to SDCC this year, you're in luck as Rotofugi will be putting up Gumdrop along with their other exclusives that did not sell out at SDCC. Keep checking their website for more info on when they will drop. Also, if you are loving Gumdrop, 64 Colors just released some new prints of Gumdrop in their store.
