Unless you’ve been in a social media black hole today, you’re well aware that SDCC is this month. This is it. This is what we’ve prepared for. Now, don’t get soft on me yet; we still have some more SDCC news to tell you about, including some great Ripley’s Believe It or Not! free stuff as well as some mini-originals inspired by the greatest sci-fi movie ever made.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- If you follow artist Sean Forney on Facebook, you got a peek at his Scarlet Huntress items he’ll have at Table #BB-05 in Artists’ Alley.

- Are you going to the Miraculous Ladybug panel at SDCC this year? If you are, you’ll be treated to some exclusive season three footage, an audience Q&A, special giveaways, and a pretty big announcement.

- Freelance artist and creator of the Little Vampires webcomic Rebecca Hicks wants you to “get kräken” to Booth #5535, where she’ll have this SDCC 2019 exclusive Happy Sea Monster wood pin. The hand-painted pin was designed by Hicks herself, who only made 50 of them (for 50 years of SDCC). Each pin is signed by Hicks and will retail for $15 each. You’d better get there fast, too, because once she sells out of them, they’re gone.
- You’ll feel like a real high roller (especially when you’re baking) with these D&D-themed oven mitts Nerdy Novelty Design is bringing with them to Booth #1949.

- We’ve already heard that Travel Channel is bringing the legendary chin himself, Bruce Campbell, to SDCC to celebrate their revival of Ripley’s Believe It or Not!. But now we also know there’s a lot more fun on the way. Inside the convention center, attendees can head to Booth #4015 and cruise into Ripley’s Garage to view props and peculiar pieces from the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! collection — from shrunken heads to the original Star Wars lightsaber. There will also be unique retail items like a shrunken head air freshener, and giveaways and prizes to redeem at the Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Car Lot at Petco Park.
- This is a spoiler-free post involving Game of Thrones. Jungle Boy Productions’ Instagram followers got to see their latest Game of Thrones-themed wooden shield design. Get to Booth #1417 early; they expect these to go fast.
