Under the Tents: Funko, Entertainment Earth, Eddie Campbell, Harleypalooza

The Comic-Con news has been coming out fast lately. How have we gone from relative crickets to two Under the Tents posts in a week already? Since we officially have less than 60 days until SDCC 2018, we’ll be getting a lot more news soon as well. This edition of Under the Tents has great news from Funko, teasers from Entertainment Earth, and quite a few Facebook Events. Oh, and we even found some crochet.

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

Not only did Funko announce how to get tickets to their massive Fundays event, they also let slip via Twitter that we can definitely expect more Conan Pop!s this year.

Decent idea. Conan Pops are definitely coming!

Funko also confirmed that just like the last few years, most (not all) of their SDCC exclusives will be shared exclusives, meaning you’ll be able to find them online or at specific retail shops as well. The only difference is a different sticker – and a lot more sleep. We expect that just like the last two years, Funko will confirm the list of retail stores you’ll be able to find specific SDCC Pop!’s at on Preview Night.

Yes, most will be shared!

Comics artist and writer Eddie Campbell mentioned in passing during a Twitter conversation that he will be at SDCC 2018 “signing and jabbering” to support his latest work, The Goat Getters.

I'll be at SDCC signing and jabbering. we should catch up.

Collectibles distributor Entertainment Earth has been having fun teasing their Twitter followers. They posted yet another tease for their SDCC 2018 exclusives to their Twitter feed.

Our recent issues of Under the Tents have been lacking on crochet. This one, however, is not. Crochet artist RE:Gina thanked her fellow crochet artist The Geeky Hooker for bringing her critters with her to drop at SDCC this year, and showed off this year’s line-up, which includes Disney’s Hades, Ahsoka, and Bruce Banner in the Hulkbuster armor.

Shout out to @GeekyHooker for taking my stuff to #SDCC2018 as a part of her #critterdrop even though she didn't have to! I'll be rather busy in the near future so I finished this year's line-up already now.

We’re often asked for recommendations for food and drinks in the Gaslamp. The answer is often very subjective, as it’s hard to know exactly what kind of food or drinks our readers like. If you like the sweetest deals in the Gaslamp, Garage Kitchen and Bar certainly fit that bill. While they’ll be closed Friday for a private event, you can take advantage of their SDCC deals on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Details can be found on the graphic below or on their Facebook Events page.
