It’s officially one week until SDCC 2019. Just seven short days stand between you and the awesomeness we have in today’s Under the Tents. Martin Kove is telling you to sweep the leg, Val Hochberg an adorable niche piece, Scott Hattox finished the second half of his Venom/Carnage painting, and so much more.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- NECA Toys is showing no mercy at Booth #3145. Meet the man who told Johnny to sweep the leg, Martin Kove, who played Kobra Kai’s sensei John Kreese in the original The Karate Kid, and pick up a signed action figure on Friday, July 19 from 1:00PM to 3:00PM PT.
No mercy in this dojo.
Get your Kreese signed by the man himself @MartinKove next Friday at #sdcc pic.twitter.com/3uIbHhOzxo— NECA (@NECA_TOYS) July 10, 2019
- I’m flying blind on a rocket cycle! Scratch Builder pays homage to the classic 1980 Flash Gordon with their 1/6 scale model Rocket Cycle they’re bringing to SDCC. Gather your forces and storm Ming’s castle before he marries Dale and destroys the Earth.

- Viktorya Roze Tassi, better known as “Sgt. Swift Stitch”, will once again be wandering SDCC in search of cosplayers in dire need of on-site costume repair. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find her, maybe you can hire… no, you don’t have to hire her; her services are free of charge.
