SDCC 2013: Toynami Booth Video

I like to think that we get a little more Comic-Con savvy every time we go. Last year my wife missed out and had to pick up the Toynami Hello Kitty Street Fighter Chun Li on eBay. This year, on Preview Night, instead of previewing, she lined up at the Toynami booth and picked up this year’s Badtz Maru as Ryu and Hello Kitty as Akuma. I was lined up at Hasbro, which was right next to the Toynami booth, and I probably walked around that booth at least 15 times over the course of the show.

When I watched Toynami’s Comic-Con video, I realized I’m still as Comic-Con dumb as ever – I’m always so caught up in taking pictures / getting to panels / trying to get SDCC exclusives that I miss so much of the show. Sandman was more on top of things than me, and took some pics of the Toynami booth.

SDCC 2013: Hasbro Transformers 30th Anniversary Panel Reveals

Yes, our Transformers coverage at SDCC was terrible. It started Thursday when I pulled a novice move and left Room 25ABC because I had a couple hours to kill between Mattel’s first panel and Hasbro’s Transformers 30th Anniversary panel. I got back to the room with plenty of time, but the line to get in was super-long. On top of that, the previous panel was for the Transformers on the small screen, so very few seats opened up.

Thankfully, Hasbro sent us these images for showing off the reveals in the panel. The big news – for the 30th Anniversary, they are introducing the Thrilling 30 – numbered action figures that spawn the lines in the brand. The thirty will include Windblade, the fan-built bot created earlier in the year. My votes must have counted about a million each, because she turned out almost exactly like what I picked – the exception is that Windblade is an Autobot, not a Decepticon. Boo to the good guys.

The thirty will also include figure(s) from the new Transformers Construct-Bots line that Hasbro introduced to us over breakfast. Hasbro listed out the first eleven on the list, and also sent out pics for upcoming figures from each of their Transformers lines.
