The Coolest Exclusive Toys At San Diego Comic Con

by Andrew Reiner on Jul 06, 2015 at 12:21 PM

San Diego Comic Con kicks off on July 9, and should be the source of plenty of comic book, movie, video game, and action figure news. This show has also become the destination for collectors. Almost every manufacturer and vendor at the show has some kind of exclusive to give away or sell. These hot items are rarely sold outside of the show, and end up going for ridiculous prices in second-hand markets.

This year's show boasts hundreds of exclusives, ranging from Star Wars toys to Chia Pet version of Masters of the Universe's Moss Man. We took a look at the exclusives and narrowed the field to the ones that we wanted the most, as well as all of the video game collectibles. Here's the list:

Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes "Jamais Vu" / Raiden 1/6 Scale Statue, White Armor Version

This Raiden repaint by Gecco Corp sells for $195 and comes with an assault rifle and rocket launcher.

Break Man 7” Medium Figure, Mega Man Con Exclusive Colorway 7” Medium Figure

Kidrobot and Capcom are releasing Break Man and Mega Man capsules for $49.99. The capsules come with a variety of other Mega Man items.

Batman: Arkham Knight Play Arts Kai Batman Limited Color Version

Square Enix added a little splash of blue to this Batman variant which sells for $99.99 and ships on August 31. You can pre-order it now.
