Jazwares Announces Toys R Us and SDCC Exclusive Robot Chicken Convention Nerd

Jazwares is launching its Robot Chicken line at San Diego Comic-Con with the Convention Nerd, to which I take great offense. 🙂

Looks like Entertainment Earth will have a bunch of exclusives from the smaller companies. In addition to this Jazwares exclusive, they’re also the place to pick up exclusives like the Venture Bros. figures from Bif Bang Pow and Thundercats Lion-O statue from Icon Heroes. (Correction – the Thundercats Lion-O statue will be available at the ActionFigureXpress booth.)

San Diego Comic Con 2010 is just 2 weeks away, and Jazwares and Cartoon Network Enterprises are proud to announce the availability of the very first figure from the highly-anticipated Robot Chicken toy line!

Toys“R”Us Exclusive “Convention Nerd” from Jazwares!

Now, fans can recreate their favorite Robot Chicken parodies, such as the Nerd’s visit to a Sci-Fi convention with this 5-inch action figure. Complete with a Top Hat, Sandwich, Magical Unicorn Mayonnaise Jar, Adult Swim swag bag and a 2010 San Diego Comic-Con t-shirt, the iconic Robot Chicken Nerd character is ready to geek out with fans.

“Convention Nerd” will ONLY be available at Entertainment Earth’s booth #2343 throughout the con and on Toysrus.com for $20*.

Plus fans can come meet the creators of Adult Swim’s Emmy Award-winning Robot Chicken and get their Convention Nerd autographed when Seth Green and Matt Senreich will be signing the figure at Entertainment Earth’s booth #2343 Friday July 23 from 11:00 am – 12:00 pm.

Fans who are not able to attend the show can still purchase the exclusive Toys“R”Us San Diego Comic-Con merchandise online at Toysrus.com/Collectibles starting Wednesday, July 21.

However, there is a limited number of each item, so fans should visit Entertainment Earth at booth #2343 or Toysrus.com/Collectibles early to purchase their Comic Con exclusives.

And be sure to pick up a copy of ToyFare #157 (available July 15) for exclusive pics of the rest of the line!

Mattel Reveals Exclusive Chase Variant for Ghostbusters Retro Action Peter Venkman

I guess the San Diego Comic-Con experience wouldn’t be complete without a chase variant from Mattel. In the past couple of years, there was the clear DC Super Heroes Man-Bat, the bronze Masters of the Universe Classics King Grayskull, and the Toy Story “Andy” stamped Buzz Lightyear, among others.

This year it’s the green-skinned Ghostbusters Retro Action Peter Venkman, from the first season episode “Citizen Ghost” – it will be randomly-packed and available only at SDCC. This begs the question if Mattel will ever make variants for the other three Ghostbusters.

SDCC REVEAL! Ghostbusters Retro Action Peter Venkman

Retro Action is coming to the Ghostbusters with this “Citizen Ghost” Peter figure from the animated series “The Real Ghostbusters”! Peter talks with 3 phrases right from the show. Also includes proton pack and wand. Special variant for SDCC is an all Ecto Slime version of Peter with clear green skin. This variant is randomly packed and available only at the show! While supplies last.

Mattel San Diego Comic-Con Updates – Starro Packaging and Pre-Sale Vouchers

Two pretty awesome updates from Mattel on the MattyCollector site today. First up, a demo of the packaging for the JLA Presents Starro the Conqueror exclusive. I had heard that Kevin Conroy was providing the voiceovers here, but I didn’t realize that there was going to be so much of it.

And second, for those of you attending San Diego Comic-Con, maybe the lines for exclusives won’t be quite so bad this year. Mattel is offering pre-sales via MattyCollector on Tuesday, July 13, with pickup times next door to the San Diego Convention Center on Thursday – Saturday.
