First off, everyone who attended Wondercon received this Program Book. There were some freebies that we picked up.

Forgot to take pics of the Free Previews Catalog we picked up....

Picked up these 2 cool exclusives from Super7.

Also scooped up a few blind boxes of these guys!

There weren't too many freebies. There were comic books from Dark Horse but when we stopped by they were having a signing. It's a pretty relaxed environment at Wondercon. Less exclusives meant more time to enjoy the show and less time standing in line!
