[UPDATE 2 - May 30] And Matty?s ears must have been ringing, because we asked on last night?s podcast, where were the last two exclusives promised to us a couple of weeks ago? Now we know, as Matty has updated for the second time today with two Hot Wheels exclusives. These are not the Star Wars exclusives hinted at yesterday, but they are cool nonetheless. Let?s have a look:
[UPDATE June 2] For the first time ever, Ever After High, Mattel?s companion piece to the popular Monster High, will be coming to San Diego Comic-Con. The company showed a glimpse of the upcoming exclusive figure on its Instagram, with most fans assuming from the sneak peek and the wording about ?big bad #shoes?, that the upcoming figure will be Cerise Wolf.
Adult Swim is known for bringing a lot of its show to San Diego Comic-Con every summer, and 2014 should be no different. Plan on panels for fan favorites Robot Chicken, The Venture Bros., Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Children’s Hospital, The Eric Andre Show***, The Heart, She Holler, China, IL, Rick and Morty, and Superjail.
How strange was that panel last year?
Think you may be thinking of something else. I don't think they went last year.
As far as preview night showings, I am thinking Constantine and the Flash have GOT to come with pilots.
The Eric Andre show? Yeah they were before Archer. Or were you talking about a different show?
That's the ONE thing I'm bummed about re: preview night. Always enjoy the pilots. Well, watching them. Not necessarily THEM.
Oh ****, sorry thought you were referring to Penny Dreadful the way the quote came up. Yeah...I want to experience that WTF moment again. No idea what we saw, but it was entertaining.
I imagine watching that panel is what it's like to be high on mushrooms. Nothing made sense, I was laughing, and then I was scared, and then it was over.
[UPDATE 2 - June 5] After we got a sneak peak of the upcoming Hot Wheels and Star Wars collaboration, the digital version of Road & Track magazine now has the details on exactly what the upcoming Comic-Con exclusive will look like, after getting their hands on Star Wars Insider #150 (which will be available on newsstands on June 10).
According to Road & Track, the Mattel exclusive will be a Darth Vader vehicle, the first of an all-new line of character-inspired original Star Wars vehicles, die-casts, and traditional cars wearing Star Wars decos to be unveiled at SDCC. The photo unveiled in the magazine is actually a life-size version of the figure (that will go to one lucky winner), and attendees will be able to purchase the toy-sized version at Comic-Con, that comes in a special display case in the shape of Darth Vader’s lightsaber.
We were way more entertaining.Hard choosing between that one and the Mars one where we got repeatedly 'shussshed' only to have our shussers bail the minute we got quiet and they had to actually listen to that borefest.
