Under the Tents: LEGO, Star Trek, Ninjabot, Mega64, V.E. Schwab

There is so much Comic-Con news, it’s almost impossible to keep up with it all of it! Fortunately, we do it so you don’t have to. In this issue of Under the Tents, we have great news from LEGO and V.E. Schwab, some exclusives from Ninjabot and Mega64, and a lot more.

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

  • Mega64 is coming to SDCC with a lot of great merch for Booth #1435. Their Twitter feed has been full of great stuff like t-shirts, enamel pins, and plushies. If that’s not enough, you can catch their “Mega64 Ultimate Multi-Billion Dollar Cross-Franchise Teamup Panel” on Friday, July 20 in Room 25AB.
  • Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna blow stuff up. B2Five announced their Stealth Chapel HETT 600e will be at Toynami’s Booth #3229 before it’s available online or in stores, which will happen in late October 2018.

  • Set phasers to “smooth” when you sip on some James T. Kirk Bourbon Whiskey. Although the captain himself was known to enjoy Saurian Brandy (and the occasional Romulan Ale), this finely crafted bourbon will be available during SDCC 2018 at various events.

  • According to Action Figure Insider, Small Action Games has created an Attack on Mars! expansion pack for their Captain Action Card Game and will have it on display along with its artwork during their panel on Thursday, July 19 at 4PM PT in Room 32AB.

  • If you grew up on Saturday morning cartoons (like many of us did), Josh Warner has a new comic you’ll be interested in that’s inspired by that same spirit, Justice Squad. You can find it at Hanging Chad’s Small Press Table #L-09.

  • Artist Pernille Ørum teased her Twitter followers with a peek at her latest SDCC 2018 print, which you’ll find with her at Gallery Nucleus’ Booth #2643.

  • Author Cynthia Diamond will be wandering around the Gaslamp Quarter on Saturday, July 21 starting at 2PM PT for what she has dubbed “Seek and Swag”. Follow her Facebook Events page to see where you can catch up with her, have a drink, and maybe score a free book.

  • Has this ever happened to you? If it has, you know all you need is a pencil and a strong wrist to fix it. Artist Jeff Pina is excited to debut his new series of robot prints, Does Not Compute, at Table #Q-06 in Small Press at SDCC this year.

  • We’ve been missing a lot of crochet in our Under the Tents posts, so we found some for you. Jennifer Nolan’s Twitter followers got a look at what she’ll have at the SDCC Art Show this year.

  • Artist Alex Deligiannis posted a close-up of his new “Leo” enamel pin from his new TMNT set he’s bringing with him to Booth #1537 at SDCC this year.

  • Nerdist announced the official LEGO Voltron set will debut at Booth #2829, where they will have a limited number of these 2,321-piece sets available for purchase at $179.99.
  • One of our favorite exhibitors, Ninjabot, graced his Twitter followers with some of his Black Panther-themed SDCC exclusives you’ll find at Table #L-08 in Small Press. You’ll find his Mini PopCat watercolor (that never freezes) along with his exclusive print of King T’Challa himself.

  • Jason Liles, the actor who played “George” in the blockbuster film Rampage, will be on-hand in Sails Pavilion to sign autographs and meet with fans. You can find him there on Thursday, July 19 from 10AM-2PM PT and Sunday, July 22 from 10AM-2PM PT.
