Under the Tents: Funko, Greg Grunberg, MAC Star Trek, Neal Adams, Comic-Con HQ

We get it: The only San Diego Comic-Con news most of you care about this week is which hotel you’re going to wind up at. Make sure you read over our Visual Guide one more time before tomorrow’s sale, and then un-wind with today’s Under the Tents. Because no matter where you’re resting your head at night (even if it’s the lawn outside Hall H), you can look forward to exclusives from Funko, an appearance from actor Greg Grunberg, your first chance to score the new line of Star Trek makeup from MAC, and much more.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

  • The Year of Star Trek continues (in addition to a mega-offsite art exhibit, Trek Talks, and presumably much, much more for the 50th Anniversary). MAC announced that they’ve created a collection of makeup inspired by Star Trek, and the 25-piece special collection will be available first in a special presale on Thursday, July 21 at MAC Gaslamp.

  • Wondering when you’ll start seeing Funko SDCC exclusive reveals? “June or early July”, according to the official Twitter. They also re-iterated that they’re working on “some different options for line control”, which they’ve said in the past is probably going to be a Sails ticket distribution.
