Cool Comic Con Exclusives For 2011

Sunday, July 17th, 2011

Comic Con starts on Wednesday night and while I’ll have plenty of great pictures after the fact, here are some of the cool exclusives that will be on sale at the event. If you’re going to be there, you can go ahead and buy any of this awesome stuff and if you see me with my Neatorama Press Badge on, feel free to say hi.

This cool limited edition poster by Dave Perillo is available from Acme Archieves Ltd. at booth #5629. The run was limited to 100 prints and each one will cost $50.

These Thor Marvel Minimates are limited to a run of 3,000 and the 4 pack is only $20 from the Action Figure Xpress booth #3345.

If you’re a fan of Bill Plympton, be sure to stop by his booth #1537 and consider grabbing one of his autographed “mallow” figurines for $25.

This Friends With You Stinky Poo & T.P. Plush Set is one of the exclusives that I’m most excited about. If you want to grab your own, stop by the Bored Inc. booth #609.

 

The crayon tee is by Greg “Crayola” Simkins and the plush was designed by Travis Lampe. Both are available over at the Color Ink Book booth #5569.

This cute nerd Domo statue is another purchase I might be making at the upcoming convention. He’s only $9 and there are only 1200 being released. You can find him at the Dark Horse Comics booth #2615.

If you ever wanted your own Rusty & Jonas or Dexter action figure, then be sure to head by the Entertainment Earth booth #2343.

This adorable vinyl figure is one of only 50 in existence. Made by Gary Ham, Hermees will be going for $55 at booth #4836.

Gentle Giant Studios booth #3513 will be selling this hilarious Squirrelpool bust for $30. If you aren’t familiar with Squirrelpool, here’s his back story from the page:

Originally created an April Fool’s Joke from the Marvel Comics website, Gentle Giant is proud to bring you an original character – Squirrelpool! Based on everyone’s favorite Merc With a Mouth, Squirrelpool is undoubtedly just as skilled a fighter and vicious a killer as his human counterpart. If he could speak English, this ravaging rodent would undoubtedly be just as foul as well.

How could you not want one now? The booth will also be selling 900 $45 special edition Sucker Punch blue rays that come with 4 discs and the soundtrack.

Fans of Battlestar Galactica remember that the colonials call the Cylons “Toasters.” Now you can get your own Cylon toaster necklace from the Her Universe booth #2913-F.

The Comic Con exclusive Sackboy is absolutely adorable, as is the cute Scott Pilgrim action figures. You can find them both at the Mezco Toyz booth #3445.

For $50 you can take home a set of Nightmare Before Christmas paperweights at the Monogram International, Inc. booth #3744.

I’m a big fan of Mr. Toast, so I’m pretty sure I’ll be walking home with one of the 100 $10 Frankentoast plushies available at booth #4831.

The production run of these awesome Tick action figures is limited to only 250 and each one is only $20. Now that’s an affordable collectable. Get your own at Shocker Toys booth #3351.

If you like the Ugly Dolls, be sure to stop by their booth #3245 and check out the limited edition Cookie Dream Babo.


I’ve been a big fan of Alex Pardee’s artwork for a long time, which is why I am so excited to check out his limited edition SDCC exclusive prints and shirts. If you’re interested, be sure to stop by the Zero Friends booth #5502.

Of course, if you aren’t going to make it, just enjoying these pics of cool merch available is a fun way to immerse yourself in the experience without heading out to San Diego. If you really want to get some geek purchases going on and can’t make it though, remember, there are always tons of fun products over at the Neatoshop.

While I love Comic Con, there are certainly some geek conventions that seriously just shouldn’t exist -like the Gargoyles Convention based on the mid-nineties Disney cartoon. Yeah, at that point it’s just sad.
