SDCC 2012 Haul: Mattel / Hot Wheels Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine

Mattel / Hot Wheels Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine SDCC exclusive. The Mystery Machine comes inside a Scooby Snacks box. The box you see above is the outer mailer box.
This is what comes out of the white mailer box. It really has Scooby Snacks inside. If you shake the box you can hear them inside. Not sure if it's actually edible food (don't really recommend eating whatever is inside). More pics after the jump.



SDCC 2012 Haul: Rotofugi x 64 Colors Glowing Grim Marshall

Another Rotofugi x 64 Colors exclusive was the Glowing Grim Marshall. I love Glow in the dark figures. When you put a bunch together it illuminates the whole room. If you picked up Gumdrop you have to pick up his pal Marshall. Awesome piece at another great price. Looks like Rotofugi is sold out of them. More pics out of the package after the jump.


SDCC 2012 Haul: Rotofugi x 64 Colors Bubble Gumdrop

Rotofugi x 64 Colors released their SDCC exclusive Bubble Gumdrop (Bubble Gum Pink). Great price point on these as well! These are so cute! I really like what's written on the back of the header card. Good news is if you weren't at SDCC you pick them up now at Rotofugi. More pics after the jump.

SDCC 2012 Haul: Rotofugi x Tim Biskup's Roto-A-Matic Helper Dragon Figure

One of the best pickups is Rotofugi x Tim Biskup's Roto-A-Matic Helper Dragon figure. The price point on this you can't beat. These were only $6! Big regret is not picking up a second one. There were 3 or 4 different colors available. There was yellow that was shown on Rotofugi's blog/website and there was also purple, orange and/or orange swirl. The one that I have is orange swirl. These all come with a certificate and tells you the date it was made, name of figure and color. I hope the Roto-A-Matic machine gets fixed soon. I need more!

SDCC 2012 Haul: Splurrt's Diggler

One of the pieces I was most excited about was Splurrt's Diggler which was available at Toy Tokyo's booth. Didn't get into the exhibit hall right when it opened since the line to get in was pretty long which was surprising since the year before there was hardly any line by the time I got my badge and headed to the line. I figured Diggler would all be snatched up so I didn't stop by Toy Tokyo's booth right away. Surprise! Surprise! There was quite a few still available. Made me super happy!!!

I really like the paint app on this and for some reason I'm liking more of the painted versions on both Diggler & Cadaver Kid. To me it just brings out so much more of the sculpts details.

SDCC 2012 Haul: Mattel / Hot Wheels Knight Rider K.I.T.T.

 This SDCC 2012 Exclusive is Mattel / Hot Wheels' K.I.T.T. Knight Industries Two Thousand. There is also a chase version which the display case inside the box will have K.A.R.R on it instead of K.I.T.T. Look around the web or ebay and you will see. I got the regular version. More pics after the jump.

SDCC 2012 Haul - Uglydoll Power Babo & 10 Year Anniversary Wage

Oh look it's Power Babo from Uglydoll!!! Power Babo was this year's SDCC exclusive. If you were there and wanted to pick him up he was available every day of the con. On Sunday, around 1pm or so they were down to their last 4 with the Uglydoll workers holding on to the last of them.

Power Babo is too awesome and cute! How can you not want him?

Another guy who showed up was the 10 Year Anniversary Wage that comes in a box.
The 10 Year Anniversary Wage was made to replicate the original Wage plush that Sun-Min made for David. This is a limited authentic reproduction. There weren't too many of these released at the show.

SDCC 2012 Haul - Alex Pardee's Bunnywith Figures

We picked up Alex Pardee's Bunnywith exclusive figures from DKE. These glow in the dark. DKE released 1 Bunny a day. $5 each. When these were taken out of the bag, these smelled just like the old TMNT figures from the 80's/90's when you ripped them out of their packaging.

Definitely a highly recommended set to have in your collection. Probably one of the best buys at the con. Great price! They're small and won't take a lot of space. They Glow!

Oh and saw sample pieces of orange Bunnywiths at DKE's Booth. (see pic below)
These didn't sell out at SDCC and are currently available at Rotofugi & My Plastic Heart.

SDCC 2012 DOMO

Domo Creator - Tsuneo Goda
One of the best things at SDCC this year was meeting Domo Creator Tsuneo Goda. He had scheduled signings on 2 different days at the Dark Horse Booth. Fans needed to get a wristband in order to attend his signing. We were lucky enough to get a wristband and asked Tsuneo Goda for a sketch. (see below)

Fans of Domo were in a for a real treat this year. Not only were there exclusives that we'll get to in a bit but there was also a Domo Mini-Store filled with Domo merchandise. We have pictures too!
