Huckleberry Toys had a huge display hyping the release of several Con Exclusive Toffee dolls. The cute – yet slightly creepy – little ladies are available in three Summer Con Exclusive versions: Jessica, Hellboy Fan, and Witchiepoo (H.R. Pufnstuf). And…
I’m actually multitasking…watching My Name Is Bruce and writing this post. So it’s somewhat ironic that I’m covering the Dark Horse booth (they released the film) and their Bruce Campbell 1:6 scale figure (to be released this October). Who’s not…
The STRANGEco San Diego Comic Con booth had five special edition – SDCC Exclusive – Tokidoki characters (Skeletrino & Skeletrina, Bruttino & Carina, Captain Coco). Julie West was also at the show for a signing. Our favorite was the collection…

Shocker Toys introduced us to their Mallows line of customizable (and licensed) figures. In total, they had the Phantom, Dr. Rockso, the SDCC Collector Version, and Black and White blank Mallows. And something I’m looking forward to – The Tick…

We stopped by the Kuso Vinyl booth while Jure Gavran (Scapegoats) was signing his new Urban Criminal Billy figure. Nakanari was there showing off his Spiki vinyl figure (the Ninja Spiki Kage Edition). And one of my personal faves -…
Symbiote Studios had their Symbiotes vinyl line on display (and for sale) at their San Diego Comic Con booth. I’m digging the Dr. Tran figures. And they come with interchangeable hands that allow the figure to hold weapons (weapons included)….
If you didn’t get to Comic Con early, and you didn’t make a b line for the DKE Toys or Dumbrella booth, then you probably didn’t get a chance to pick up Andrew Bell’s SDCC Exclusive Blue O-No Sushi figure…
The Gargamel crew yet again rocked out SDCC with a table full of amazing kaiju vinyl figures. My favorite? Wow…all of them? Our SDCC Gargamel Photo Gallery SDCC 2009 coverage sponsored by Strangekiss.com
If you were walking through the SDCC exhibit hall and thought that you were transported to a tropical island with Lilo and Stitch…you were actually just walking past the MINDstyle booth. They had their custom Stitch show on display, but…

If you like wrestling, monsters or monster wrestling…you’ll want to hit the Kaiju Big Battel SDCC booth. In addition to having a boatload of shirts and DVDs, they have a new vinyl figure – Cycloptopuss. And if that wasn’t enough,…
In addition to their fun clothing line, Fuzzy Balls Apparel had several handmade Raul plushies for collectors to cuddle up to. (Although, you might want to buy it before cuddling with it…cuddling in the exhibit hall would be a little…
We got our first glimpse of the Armodoc rotocast vinyl figure from Onell Design (notice the Frankenberry influence?) as well as the Callgrim figures from RawShark Studios and Onell (interchangeable with the Glyos Series). And speaking of the Glyos System…
