A collector’s paradise, San Diego Comic-Con is the stop for exclusive pop-culture goods. This year’s con kicks off on July 21, so we gathered up some of the coolest exclusive toys you’ll be able to pick up on the show floor. From Simpsons to Star Wars, from reality television to comic books, this year is bound to have at least one toy for everyone.
The Simpsons Mr. Sparkle 7” Medium Figure
A combination of a lightbulb and a fish, Mr. Sparkle shares a close resemblance to Springfield, USA’s most famous man, Homer Simpson. Kid Robot will be bringing this exclusive figure to San Diego this month, pre-orders are open now.
Terminator 2 T-1000 Figure
NECA Toys hasn’t released much information about this figure yet, aside from announcing its existence on Twitter. But expect to see more of him on the SDCC show floor.
Super Powers Micro Figure 3 Pack
Gentle Giant has this classic take on DC’s most popular heroes available for pre-order now, however you must be a Premium Guild member to order. These are remakes of the popular 1984 Kenner figures.
Chewbacca McQuarrie Concept 1:6 Scale Mini Bust
This bust of Ralph McQuarrie’s early designs for Chewbacca from Gentle Giant is unfortunately sold out at this time, but it’s still worth a look to see this excellent recreation of what one of Star War’s most famous characters could have looked like.
Kidrobot Exclusive Bebop
Kidrobot is bringing this awesome Bebop figure from the Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series to the show floor. It costs $40.
Kylo Ren And Obi-Wan 6-Inch Figures
Hasbro will be bringing these Kylo Ren and Obi-Wan figures to the convention, costing $34.99 and $44.99 respectively. The Obi-Wan comes with a small replica of a Princess Leia hologram definitely makes the cooler of the two.

Mega Bloks Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Rooftop Combat Construction Set
This awesome collection pits Leonardo against the Shredder on top of a New York rooftop, but in the style of the original black and white comic book. Mega Bloks is releasing two similar sets featuring the four turtles and a “Street Showdown” between Raphael and Casey Jones. The set can be pre-ordered through Toys R Us’ website for $39.99.
Shark Tank Mark Cuban, Daymond John, Barbara Corcoran 3 3/4-Inch Action Figure Set
Because why not? This set comes with the three Shark Tank hosts, chair accessories, and seven points of articulation. This set is coming from Entertainment Earth for $44.99.
Batman V Superman: The Joker’s Wild Batman 19-Inch Figure
Also coming from Entertainment Earth for $59.99, is this sublime take on a Batman figure. Defaced by the Joker on his way to the factory, this figure is covered with lewd drawings and Joker tags.
Farmboy Luke Return of the Jedi Jumbo Figure
For a bit of nostalgia, Gentle Giant is putting out this limited remake of the original 1983 figure, complete with its original packaging and paint. Sadly, pre-orders are currently sold out and Gentle Giant only has plans to release 250.
Alien Warrior 18″ Prototype
One of the weirder toys coming to San Diego is Super 7’s (via Toy Hype USA) take on the 1986 Kenner action figure of the Warrior Alien from Aliens – a toy that has later become a popular item for Alien collectors. However, this version is meant as a mock-up coming with handwritten notes about the production process. It currently isn’t available for pre-order, but will be at booth 4945.
Masters Of The Universe 3.75″ Retro Figures Wave 2
Super 7 isn’t making its toys easy to buy, especially when it comes to its second round of retro He-Man figures. In order to purchase these figures, which cost $15 each, you must go to booth 4945 to pick up a “Power Token,” take that to 701 8th Avenue (about a mile away from the convention center), which will gain you entry to Super 7’s “Skeletor's Lair Pop-Up Shop.” Then, and only then, will you be able to buy these figures. Good luck!
Pokemon 20th Anniversary Ash and Pikachu Figures
Lastly, in celebration of Pokémon’s 20th anniversary, you can buy this Ash and Pikachu set from Tomy for $19.99. It is only available on the show floor.
Marvel Legends Dr. Strange Figure

UK Spider-Man
God Save The Queen. Hasbro is also showing off this UK-inspired 6" Spider-Man figure alongside Dr. Strange. Now release dates or pricing info has been given for either figure.
