SDCC 2015 Recap - Part 4

Alright, well to keep things rolling along... here's Gentle Giant, NECA, Mezco & Huckleberry Toys. We weren't able to photograph a lot of things inside SDCC due to overwhelming crowds and lines so you won't see a lot of Mattel, Hasbro or the Star Wars/ Lucas Pavilion.

SDCC 2015 Recap - Part 3

Oh Funko... The line to buy their exclusives was still a huge headache for many. On Friday, a friend was one of the first people in line to get into the exhibit hall that morning. (We are all in line to get into convention center by 6am.) By the time they got into the exhibit hall and at Funko's booth the line was already capped. How could that be? The doors just opened and our friend + others that were one of the first ones inside the exhibit hall were told the line was capped. Funko had said before SDCC that exhibitors had to wait an hour before getting in line to purchase exclusives so obviously these exhibitors clearly did a bait and switch with regular attendees passes. Our friend and many others were very disappointed and we're sure the Funko staff got an earful of complaints. Walking around SDCC that day, you could clearly see many retailers selling Funko's SDCC exclusives for way more than Funko was selling them.

SDCC 2015 Recap - Part 2

Here's part 2 but there are actually more... Didn't want to bombard you with a super long post. The Interactive Zone at Petco Park had a huge inflatable Snoopy House. They were giving out free Peanuts Movie bags, hats and posters. The line for this was super long since this was open to anyone with or without a sdcc badge. Snoopy's doghouse also had a slide so you can also slide your way out if you wanted to or just walk straight on through to exit. Inside they also had a Beagle petting area. There were also selfie stations etc...

Preview Night

SDCC aka San Diego Comic Con was held July 8th (preview night) - July 12th. We've had a couple of weeks to recover from the 4 1/2 days of madness. The picture above was Preview Night and this picture was the calm before the storm. The weather was nice the whole time. It wasn't too hot or too cold. Pretty sure no one really wants to read through this lol so will try to keep this short and to the point.

If you've never been to SDCC. One question... Do you like to stand in line? If not, SDCC is going to be a challenge for you. There are literally lines for everything. There are lines to get into lines to get into yet another line etc... and depending on what you're planning to do, get autographs, exclusives, see a panel, outside events etc... there is going to be lines.

If you like pictures, we have a lot from various companies/events.
