Every year, fanboys and fangirls of varying stripes descend on San Diego for Comic-Con. Although the event has extensive
programming, there’s one activity that unites the collectors with the cosplayers, the MMP gamers with the manga readers, the superheroes with the steampunks: the pursuit of SDCC’s exclusive toys.
ToyCyte will be publishing a weekly bulletin of SDCC exclusives. Here’s the Top 5 for Week 3:
Dan Goodsell’s Mr. Toast Vampire Plush. If breakfast is the most important meal of
the day, you’ll want to fortify for the SDCC with this 7″ Mr. Toast Vampire Plush (who bears the unofficial moniker, Count Toastula). The leavened leviathan will be on sale for $10 (cheap!) in an edition of 1000 slices.
Bounty Hunter x James Jarvis‘ King-Kun. This has, so far, been one of the most 
talked about collaborations of the convention. STRANGEco (booth #4269) will have the black BxH and the gray Amos editions on hand at what is assured to be an ultra-high price and an ultra-low quantity. The black colorway already sold out in Japan and sells on the aftermarket for $285.
MAD’s Blue G.I.D. MAD*l. Jeremy Madl’s been in the news a lot lately for Phase 3 Mad*ls and blinging logo hats, shirts and jewelry. But it’s this blue G.I.D. Mad*l spied on his Flickr page that’s got fans buzzing about an SDCC ‘08 release.
Craola’s Capn’ Rotnclaw. You know, I’m not really feeling the criticism on the KR forum for Craola’s first large-scale original toy. Craola makes great art, pirates are cool and a mono colorway is always a nice touch. So what if it’s got hinges? I’m looking forward to seeing this piece, as well as more toys to come from Craola. Pick yours up at STRANGEco booth #4629.
Rocket World’s I.W.G. Airborne Series. Along with a series of 17 I.W.G. zipper pulls ($3.95 each), Rocket World is dropping it’s I.W.G. Airborne Series at the convention. The 1.5-inch paratroopers are available blind-boxed in 11 colorways + 4 chases for $6.95 each. Be sure to stop by the booth #4633 to get yours.
