Under the Tents 2022: Neopets Ethan Castillo, Chris Jericho, Pablo Leon, Hamster and Gretel

We are coming down to the wire, folks; San Diego Comic-Con 2022 is in less than a week. Surely, you’ve started getting ready by now. This edition of Under the Tents has some epic SDCC news from heavy hitters like Phineas and Ferb co-creator Dan Povenmeyer, retailer Factory Entertainment, and so much beautiful art!

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

The Neopets team is heading to San Diego Comic-Con, where they’ll be at Booth #929 with What’s Your Passion Jewelry. You can swing by to snap a photo in front of the Neopets “Step and Repeat” banner (and if you take them on Instagram and use #NeopetsSDCC2022, you could win a set of Faerie Draik plushies); win giveaways like rainbow lanyards and matching paint brush pins as well as collectible stickers; and grab limited edition items. There will be four LE pins available for purchase, including two silver and two gold in Shoyru, Kacheek, Kougra, and JubJub designs. There will also be new jewelry designs and their plush lines on sale.

If you love collecting sketch covers from amazing artists, DCD Collects will have what you need at Booth #1815.
