  • Juan Muniz has once again partnered with 3DRetro to create a pink variant of his “UhOh” toy headed to WonderCon, as well as SDCC, New York Comic Con, and more, until all 200 pieces sell out. No word yet on price, but last year’s green edition retailed for $55. The piece is on Muniz’s “uhoh” artwork, which features his creation Felipe holding a bunch of colorful Grenade shaped balloons while looking down to see that one of the pins has fallen out, thinking to himself, “uhoh”.

  • Renowned writer and artist Francesco Francavilla revealed on Twitter that that if you’re wanting a commission or sketch, come early to get added to his daily list, with limited slots. These will go fast, so plan ahead.

  • We’ve been waiting very (im)patiently for the annual list of food trucks coming to WonderCon… and it doesn’t look like it’s coming (yet, anyway). While CCI revealed that the trucks will be located outside the convention center on the Plaza Dining area, opposite Petree Hall on Level One, the “list of the food trucks isn’t finalized”. So we’re all just going to have to wait and see what we’ll be eating. The horror.

  • Speaking of food, check out these cool “Foodie Buttons” from The Ninjabot, which will be available at Booth #SP-70.

  • The Ninjabot will also have one of their PopCat illustrations, featuring a Daredevil-ified cat. Pick him up at the con.

  • Artist N.C. Winters shared a screenprinted sketchcard on Instagram, noting that “I’ll be making several of these, available first this Friday” at WonderCon, at Booth #341. There will also possibly be a few open slots for custom sketches.
