Under The Tents Early Edition: Guardians of the Galaxy, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vinyl Exclusives, GoComics

We’ve started a new, quasi-regular column on the Blog titled “Under The Tents”. The title is symbolic, as it’s representatives of the times we all line up under the tents waiting for those big moments to happen inside Hall H or Ballroom 20.

You can find last night’s late edition here.

Here’s the stuff you might have missed for today:

@kusoviny announced its latest exclusive, the Death Serpent Southern edition which will be limited to 90 pcs and available at booth #5642 for $110.
While many have speculated that Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy cast might be making their world debut together at Comic Con, much like as The Avengers cast did in 2011, we have our first hint that might not happen. Actor Dave Bautista, who’s set to play Drax the Destroyer, said via Twitter that he won’t be there this year, but suggested the movie will be in attendance for 2014 [thanks @lennyukdeejay]:

@lennyukdeejay Color me jealous! I don't think people know what a geek i am! Well maybe they do! Doh! I love Comic Con! 2014 fosho!! GOTG!!

The eleventh Toucan Tip of the Day has been posted to the Official Blog of Comic-Con International, and it’s perhaps the most important advice yet – “Hang on to Your Badge!”. You’ve made it this far, so don’t get shut out just because you lost your badge:

Getting a Comic-Con badge is no easy task. HANG ON TO YOUR BADGE! (Yes, we’re shouting at you.)Not only do you need it to get in the door each day at the Convention Center, you also need it to access our events at our satellite areas, at the Hilton Bayfront, the Marriott Marquis, the Manchester Grand Hyatt, and some other offsite areas. … (PS: Take your badge with you when you go out to eat, too! Area restaurants will be offering special deals for Comic-Con attendees!)
