If you were not able to make it to the San Diego Comic Con this year, we’re bringing SDCC to you with a couple of exclusives which were only available at the event. We have very limited quantites so get them while you can.
This is very hard to see, but at Comic Con this year the Smallville panel premiered the trailer for season 9. I’m a bit excited to see this season because of one thing General Zod! At the very end of the trailer you can see Tom Welling wearing “The Superman Costume.” Of course Smallville can’t do anything the right way. It appears his costume is black with silver S on his chest. Instead of the cape he dons a trench coat. Hopefully he will actually fly this season. With rumors of a possible 10th season they need to take this from being Smallville to Metropolis!
Our good friend Joe Meno fromBrick Journal gave me permission to post his San Diego Comic Con photos. You can see some great photos of the LEGO Toy Story and Prince of Persia toys. Joe also got some great shots of various cosplay, displays, and of course some new toys. When you get a chance check out the Brick Journal Magazine. Photos after the jump:
Sadly we didn’t make it to Comic Con this year, so we have no coverage. It seems this wasn’t the best year in terms of news or exclusives. However, I looked around the web and found some of the best highlights:
Hasbro wants to know if they should make the Darth Vader Funeral Pyre. I say yes (via ActionFigureInsider)
San Diego- What do you get when you mix Mez-Itz, the hot new Designer Vinyl toy from Mezco, and 60 famous artists, designers, and F/X artists?
Conceived as a celebration of its new collectible toy line, the Mez-Itz Art Show displays the amazing versatility of the Mez-Itz deceivingly simple design. Rather than only turning to artists to create custom figures, Mezco thought outside the box and reached out to designers and F/X artists as well. Iron-Cow Prod. is proud to unveil the Iron-Cow 10th Anniversary Mez-Itz Figure.
