Do you know what today is?! If you guessed the day after the Tony Awards, you’re right! Oh, you thought we meant something San Diego Comic-Con related? Well, we’re only 37 days away from that – so we’ve got news on a The Loyal Subjects exclusive, a Fat Rabbit Farms marvel-ous plush, a Miraculous Ladybug exclusive set, Geek & Sundry, and much more.

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

• Here is a look at the Big Willy book we mentioned in a previous UTT that will be debuting at SDCC. The tweet from Gee Comics also shows off the Super N Duper Big Willy SDCC exclusive that will be handed out the Breygent Marking booth (for free!).

• On a recent Twitch stream, Felecia Day delved into some of her plans for Geek & Sundry. San Diego Comic-Con. “Definitely we’re doing something down there [at SDCC]. I can’t say what we’re doing, but definitely we’ll have a panel on site like we always do, some kind of offsite where everybody can come if they don’t have a badge, and — remember last year we had that pop-up party for Geek & Sundry? I’m not promising we’re doing it again, but… you have to follow our Twitter to figure it out.” [Editor’s Note: Thanks Kendall Whitehouse for the heads up!]

• Joe Merrill, who works the SPLURRT line of figures, recently showed off a new figure heading to SDCC. His post on Instagram shows off his latest work!

• Would you like to do some good for people in need? The San Diego Blood Bank is now taking appointments for their SDCC location at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. They will be on site Thursday – Sunday during SDCC, so book your appointment today.
• Captain America is sure to be everywhere at SDCC, including in Fat Rabbit form. The Fat Rabbit Farm posted a teaser of what to expect at the con on Instagram, which appears to be a plush Captain America. We may need to stop by to get this one ourselves.

• Is this the Miraculous Ladybug SDCC exclusive we’ve been waiting on? Seems so, as Jeremy Zag of Zagtoon (Miraclous Ladybug‘s production company) posted a photo on Instagram of an action figure set, and mentioned that it’s the special San Diego Comic-Con edition. No word yet on how to get your hands on the figure, but a previous photo of the front of the packaging reveals a Bandai label – so perhaps at their booth.

• Writer and producer Spiro Skentzos – who last year moderated the Writing for TV: From First Draft to Getting Staffed panel – will be back at Comic-Con for another panel this year. Details are still TBA, but writer Karen Horne will be in attendance.
