We’ve made it to Friday! We hope you have your spreadsheets and calendars ready for when CCI announces Friday’s SDCC panels. In the meantime, you can catch up on some great SDCC news from Funko, On the Mic Podcast, Weta Workshop, and a lot more.

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

SDCC’s favorite collectibles, Funko, announced during their Twitter Q&A that they will outline their SDCC booth procedures on July 7 (that’s today!).

Funko does have some bad news in that they won’t be offering signings at their booth this year, as they already have too much on their plate.

Not this year. There's already so much going on.

The first is the awesome Todd Masters, the master behind your favorite SDCC 2017 Booth (#4429), toddland. The second started with a whisper when he grabbed his favorite axe and joined Neon Trees, guitarist Chris Allen.
