SDCC 2012 Gargamel, Grasshut, Mitari, Misty Fog Toys

Gargamel was back at SDCC this year. They almost cancelled making the trip out but luckily they didn't. There wasn't too many new production releases besides the Pocket Hedoran, Pocket FU Robo & 2 set of Micros that were released on their side of the booth. There was plenty of customs to last all 4+ days. They also brought some vintage toys as well.

Misty Fog Toys brought Mega Junktions and drink Koozies
Mitari brought Mitari-Chans & Butanohana mini figure sets.

Grasshut had a lot of things going on from items from Grumble Toy.

 Le Merde with his custom resin figures and resin Le Mini-Verse figures as well as pins/coasters etc...

Bwana Spoons had a slew of customs for sale. Painted Randall exclusive, Chocolate Killers (edible), prints, shirts and all kinds of different goodies.

Lucky Nakazawa had prints of his FU Robo and of course Gargamel was releasing his latest version at the show too.

Scrappers had his custom Owl Kahanmoku and El Capitan figures. In collaboration with Gargamel, Scrappers debuted his newest figure Hobart.

SDCC 2012 - Frankenweenie

One of the best things at SDCC this year was the Frankenweenie exhibits.There were 2 different exhibits. The outdoor one was hosted by HGTV which was located across the street in the Gaslamp area and this exhibit was called the Electrifying Garden. When you enter throug the gates, they give you a Frankenweenie Reusable Tote Bag which had a Frankenweenie Glow stick. Before you enter into the dark exhibit, you are given a pack of seeds to plant your own flowers. When you exit the exhibit you are given a Frankenweenie Sparky Pin.

The exhibit inside the convention was AWESOME! They had on display the sets that they used to make the movie. I could just stare at all the intricate details and was just so blown away. 

Pictures of the freebies as well as the photo album slideshow of both exhibits after the jump.

Well finally uploaded a ton of pictures. Included pictures from inside and outside the convention center. Even some toy pics snuck in there as well. I think there's well over 700 pictures alone that will be in this album.

Don't want to scare you but if you are attending SDCC next year for the first time be prepared for LONG LINES for pretty much everything. There are also multiple lines for different things so always ask someone what they're in line for before you get in line.

Recovering From SDCC 2012

SDCC 2012 Recap Coverage Starts in the next Post!!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates and coverage during the con. There was literally so much to see and do both inside and outside the convention that you really only had a couple of hours of sleep if any at all. Was so exhausted after the con ended and just needed time to sleep and recover.
