Since 2008, Icon Heroes has been producing high-quality, officially licensed collectibles spanning some of pop culture’s biggest franchises. More recently, the company launched their own brand Jiu Jitsu Combat Creatures, the world’s first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu-inspired action figure line, sculpted by the legendary Four Horsemen Studios.
This year at San Diego Comic-Con, they’re melding nostalgic brands and new, exciting lines, as they transform Booth #4344 into KB Toys. They’ll also be sharing the space with Handmade by Robots, known for creating premium vinyl collectibles that resemble hand-knit toys.
[UPDATE July 16]
Icon Heroes has announced that they will be hosting the creator of the Flip-Or and popular toy reviewer Mad Hatter. Fans will be able to pick up a copy of the Flip D. Bird Collectible Trading Card for just $5 and have Mad Hatter sign it. Mad Hatter will be there Friday, July 24 thru Sunday, July 26 from 1pm – 2pm at booth #4344.

As a special gift, Icon Heroes is offering a free KB Toys mini tote bag with purchase of all three of their KB Toys exclusives (the two pins and the bobblehead). Offer good while supplies last.

Let everyone know you were a mallrat and your toy store of choice was, is, and always will be KB Toys, “The Toy Store in the Mall” with this KB Toys Toy Soldier Enamel Pin. This limited edition 2″ pin will be $10 at booth #4344.

A classic emblem of the iconic toy store, the Toy Soldier is back on duty as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive. The KB Toys 80th Anniversary Gold Toy Soldier Bobblehead is 8″ tall and comes with a certificate of authenticity for just $40, at booth #4344.

Funko collectors looking for something a little different can stop by the Icon Heroes booth, where Alliance Authentic will be offering Certified Uncirculated Funko Pops, guaranteeing each figure has never been opened or circulated through retail before being authenticated. Every collectible includes NFC authentication and a digital Certificate of Authenticity, and will be available for $40 each while supplies last.
[UPDATE July 1]
Handmade by Robots is checking into the KB Toys presented by Icon Heroes booth, with a new lineup of exclusives. Leading the lineup are four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Blacklight variants, which give Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael a glow-up. They’ve been created in Handmade by Robots’ signature style, of transforming vinyl collectibles into pieces that resemble hand-knit creations. They will be available for $20 each.
For collectors looking for something even rarer, limited Alliance Authentic Encapsulated editions of all four TMNT Blacklight figures will also be available in extremely limited quantities.
Rounding out the exclusives is Marvel’s War Machine, joining the Handmade by Robots roster in the company’s faux-knit style.
