The floodgates are beginning to open as far as SDCC news goes. We’ve seen more SDCC exclusives announced from Hasbro this week and expect more exclusives from more companies to be announced soon (we’re looking at you, Mattel and Mezco). In the meantime, let’s take a look at more SDCC news from some of our favorite artists and vendors.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- We finally have some news about IDW Publishing’s Wynnona Earp Party. It’s not much, but thanks to a tweet from David Ozer, we know that we will be able to pre-order Wynnona Earp Season 1 on Blu-Ray. Oh, by the way, information for how to score some Wynnona Earp SDCC Party will also be available Monday, too. Maybe he should have led with that.
- Remember that big Rick and Morty announcement from Adult Swim a few weeks ago? We do, and we’re excited to see the Rickmobile roll through SDCC. Now, we can stop tripping and make some informed decisions as to what merch to look when we inevitably line up for it.
- One of our favorite crochet artists, The Geeky Hooker, announced she will have a Doctor Strange critter to drop at SDCC this year. Follow her Twitter and/or Facebook for information about when and where her drops will happen. We think she did a tremendous job on her Eye of Agamotto.
- NECA Toys announced via Twitter that they’re “killing it” at SDCC this year with their horror reveals, even though there won’t be any specific SDCC exclusives.
- Kel McDonald lists SDCC as “confirmed” on her list of cons on her website.
