Here is a very downscaled and highly edited list of the items I really want from SDCC. Thankfully, to a certain degree, due to the economy, there aren’t many releases this year. At the end of the post I’ll add up how much all of this would cost me if I was there.

First on my list is Amanda Visell’s labbit. It retails for $50, and it turns out it’s 5″ tall, not 10″ like I originally believed. MUST HAVE!! I think her art translated very well on this shape and I am loving the tone of the wood.

Andrew Bell’s O-NO! Sushi is my second must. I’ve been a huge fan of his O-No! sticker/print for ages. Well, SDCC officially celebrates its release from 2d to 3D form. Yay!! Two colorways will be released, the Blue is the SDCC exclusive– the red one will be released later in the year. These are $30 each, and the Mr. wants one too.

I posted about Big Sal– now, I’ll definitely be getting her. Thanks to a friend who is helping me out– I get to add Kathie Olivas and Brant Peters’ kaiju creation to my collection. If you’re going to pick this up, it’ll cost you $25 at the Super7 Booth and will be available on Thursday.

I haven’t been lucky lately with my hook-ups in regards to Kathie’s Scavengers. I have yet to complete my regular colorway collection– but Cosmic Pennie is one of my favorite characters in Series 2, and I’d really love to get it for my collection. These, like all other exclusive Scavengers, will run you $20 and will be available at ToyTokyo’s booth.

This latest set caught me by surprise. I didn’t realize that Mindstyle would be releasing another SDCC set– and this one contains a 3″ Two-Faced Hazel. I have yet to obtain any of the 3″ Hazels, and I would love this one to be my first. I wouldn’t mind having the other characters as I’m a bit of a fan of all the artists included in this set: Ron English, Kathie Olivas, Buff Monster, Doktor A and Brandt Peters. I’m also a HUGE fan of black and white figures and I sometimes believe, less color is better. This set costs $130 and will be available on Saturday from 1-3pm at Mindstyle’s booth I believe.

Rotofugi along with FormulaWerks have been creating awesome t-shirts lately, and it seems that at this year’s SDCC, the shirt above will be unleashed. I want!! I heart toys and I’m a nerd, so I would wear the combination of the two words proudly. These shirts will be available on all days throughout the con and they’ll run you a mere $16. Thanks to SpankyStokes, I’ll have this in my hands after the con.

Last, but really not least– I would’ve loved to be at SDCC so I could meet Jhonen Vasquez and get hooked up with one of these sweet prints for Bioshock 2.

Jhonen will be signing at the 2K Games booth on Saturday July 25th from 2-4 PM at San Diego Comicon, and apparently there will be 500 of the prints available.

I’m guessing the prints are free since no price has been specified. If you’re a fan of his works, which I am, this is a must stop. Please take some pictures and share them with me. =)

The Total Cost: $301.00

During the custom Bumrush show at ToyToykyo, I finally had the distinct pleasure of meeting the Sucklord. I’ve been a semi-fan of his works for a while– I don’t base the “semi” on him but rather my love/hate for Star Wars– I’m sorry!! Anyway, one thing is for sure, I’ve been aware of his works and can recognize it quite easily whenever it’s in front of me. The man was actually a bit odd, and in a weird way, exactly what I imagined the Sucklord would be like.

It seems that the Sucklord is going to have a group show at Munky King. Who does it feature? His Suckadelic figure transformed by a plethora of artists. Above is Amanda Visell’s contribution taken straight from her blog. I’ve got to say it: I want!! I wonder how much it’ll be? I know KidRobot’s version is $500 buckaroos.

The first section of the post will be about some art Amanda (look at that, in my head I believe I’m on a first name basis with her) shared on her blog. What’s it called? Vamp Art. I’ve very recently become a fan of Amanda Visell’s, but I fan I are. Her dunny was one of the first I had to obtain from S5– it’s quite cute. Anyway, her Vamp Art hosts her very recognizable elaphunt with some pointy fangers– watch out!

I don’t think it’s even necessary to say how AMAZING this munny is, right? I mean, I applaud Amanda’s vision. The ears, the wings, the already-in-the-belly gnome. This is truly a work of art, and will soon [June to be more precise] be auctioned off to some lucky person who has more money than I do. How I wish I could hug him, as he measure 20″, I know he can withstand my lovin’. Amanda, though I doubt you’d know of my site, if you ever stop by: please make a gnome eating munny for me! Pleaseeee!
