FX Alien Earth Prodigy Corp, The Wreckage & The Wreckage: Code Red Activations at SDCC 2025

FX Prodigy Corp Drop Site, The Wreckage and The Wreckage: Code Red…. 3 different activations by FX. FX Prodigy Corp Drop Site was where fans can sign up to be an FX Insider to claim exclusive giveaways and first look at Alien: Earth VR Experience.

The Wreckage lets fans explore the mysterious debris of the USCSS Maginot and features various interactive thrills and alien specimens. Also on site is the special collab vending machine with Chain where the you are given an Alien Earth Hyper Fizz drink.

If you did not get to experience The Wreckage: Code Red you missed out big time. This was the best activation out of all of the ones we attended this year at comic con. The actors were so good and very in character. It was engaging from start to finish. Definitely worth the wait in line.

These were given out at the drop site activation. There's a better pic of this at the end of the post. 

 

Once we finished the activation we were given a pin and a can of the Alien Earth Drink collab with Chain.

Magic The Gathering x Spider-Man Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

The Magic: The Gathering x Spider-man activation was pretty cool. We stopped by preview night which was a preview for press/media to check out. They had 5 different welcome decks that you could possible get. They had a comic book room where you can play the game or if you wanted to learn how to play they could teach you as well. They also had the Daily Bugle newspaper, comic book and plenty of photo ops. For press/media night, they served drinks, food and had a DJ. Overall it was a fun experience.

Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

We checked out the Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation during SDCC. You had to be 18+ to participate in the Bumper Battle and also had to sign a waiver. The standby line moved fairly quickly. Once you get inside there were photo ops featuring some of the cars and vehicles from the show as well as the Twisted Metal ice cream truck which meant free ice cream. They also handed out free masks and posters. Check out the pictures below:

Restart Gaming Lounge, Marvel Rivals & Stern Pinball Lounge at SDCC 2025 Recap

Restart Gaming Lounge, Marvel Rivals and the Stern Pinball Lounge were at the Marriott Marquis so we stopped by each of them to check out what they had to offer. Restart and Marvel were held in the same area whereas Stern Pinball was held at a different part of the hotel. It was definitely a nice spot to just chill out for a little bit away from all the crowds. Check out our pics below:

Crunchyroll Anime FanFest at SDCC 2025 Recap

We finally got a chance to check out Crunchyroll Anime FanFest! This is an oasis for anyone in San Diego wanting to relax on the Rady Shell lawn and enjoy music, wind, and the sun. This two day music festival is open to the public and anyone can attend, no badge necessary. There was photo ops, food available to purchase, and freebies. Premium Subscribers got access to preferred seating areas. VIPs were treated to a sectioned off tent that had appetizers and drinks and were allowed to sit at any red chair. We stopped by when Noodles was playing their set and it was awesome! Unfortunately this year we were too tired to go see the fireworks, but hopefully next year we will be able to catch them!

Predator Badlands Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

This was one of the last offsite activations to get announced for SDCC. There were no reservations for it. It was FCFS. We got the chance to check it out and the line moved fairly quickly. Seemed like it was a 30min wait when we went so definitely not bad compared to some of the other offsite activations. We also received a Predator Badlands token as we entered which we could redeem for a drink at the bar. For more photos check below but if you want to see a video of this offsite you'll find it on our IG. 

Southpark Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

South Park had their offsite activation pretty far away from everyone else this year. They had a ticketed RSVP line and stand by line. The tickets went as quick as they were released. They were pretty strict on the food/drink policy and that we couldn’t bring in any opened drinks or food including snacks. Kinda absurd to make people throw their stuff away. We get that they wanted us to buy their food, drinks and merch but that’s asking for too much. We were there to experience their activation. They had some cool theming inside and a few photo ops. They had a stage that showed clips from the show. They also had a South Park Trivia contest. Not sure how people were picked for it. On our way out from the activation they gave us button packs. It was an okay activation but not worth waiting in line for.

Supercell’s Brawl Stars showed out this year with their Starr Park Activation, Fountain of Tears as well as a street team with Spike the Cactus for photo ops and handing out Limited Edition Starr Park Mr. Beast Feastables chocolate candy bars. One of the most fun activations this year. The Starr Park employees at Starr Park were very in character and very engaging. While you wait for your group to board you are given a lanyard and badge holder along with a card to clip to your lanyard which is later used to collect star stickers if you are able to win the games inside Starr Park. Then you meet more Starr Park employees and finally you board the Starr Rail to Starr Park but not without some hiccups along the way thanks to Spike.

Sega Pop-Up Shop Visit

A few weeks ago we got the change to visit the Sega Pop-Up Shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The Pop-up was open June 27th to July 27th. They had exclusives that you could only get in Japan. When we stopped by a lot of what they had were sold out like the Dreamcast bag that was in the shape of the console. Picked up a Jet Grind Radio 25th Anniversary T-shirt. Overall,it was a cool pop-up with merch that we don't get here in the U.S. Check out some of our pics below of the pop-up. 

Super7 Godzilla Station Pop-Up at SDCC 2025 Recap

Super7 always has one of the most creative offsites / pop-ups during SDCC. This year they transformed their San Diego store location into the Godzilla Station. They put up a temporary facade featuring Godzilla attacking the train station and always dope artwork on the side of their store. Inside the pop-up featured exclusive Toho Godzilla merchandise. There were exclusive apparel and collectibles. They had a signing with Director Shinji Higuchi. There were lines every day they were opened for SDCC. By Saturday, the store looked pretty empty. One of the sought after items is the Godzilla Station coin which you could pick up at their booth inside the convention center or at their pop-up. See pics below of their pop-up.
