We are less than three short days away from WonderCon 2023, which means there’s only a few more WonderPosts remaining for this year. But we’ve got another full edition for you today, with adorable prints of Pikachus, axolotls in top hats, hardcore Marios, and Snake Eyes — as well as free totes, a closer look at Loungefly’s exclusives, and more.

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

• Artist Val Hochberg has been busy creating new original art for her Booth #C-60 in Artist Alley in WonderCon, including this adorable sparkling and glowing Pikachua, our favorite power couple — She-Hulk and Daredevil, and a dapper pair of axolotls.

 

• Who doesn’t love free things, and movies? Indican Pictures is giving away a free limited edition tote at Booth #1012, so be sure to stop by! They’ll also have additional convention discounts.

• Taracosm is at it again, with a fun new Jubilee 5″x7″ original sketch. Battle it out for this one, and other original sketches, prints, and more, at #C-45.
