Vinyl figure is approximately 4.2 in (10.7 cm) tall. Of course, fans of Butch Hartman's second Nickelodeon series will recognize this prom-themed version of Sam from Season 1, Episode 2 — 'Parental Bonding' — which laid the groundwork for Sam's romance with Danny. The two finally acted on their feelings and officially became a couple in the series finale: 'Phantom Planet.' POP Animation: Fairly OddParents 2 pack- Jorgen Von Strangle & Tooth Fairy ($30) POP Animation: Fairly OddParents 2pk- Jorgan & Tooth Fairy Talk about a power couple! POP!

Animation collection. Reunite him with all his Bikini Bottom friends when you welcome him to your SpongeBob SquarePants lineup. Vinyl figure is approximately 5.6 in (14.2 cm) tall. This many-armed iteration of Bikini Bottom's happy-go-lucky fry cook is plucked straight from the Season 3 episode 'Rock-a-Bye Bivalve,' in which SpongeBob and Patrick become adoptive parents to an abandoned baby scallop they dub 'Junior.' The former agrees to take care of things on the household front while Patrick goes to 'work' every day. Pretty ironic, considering SpongeBob has a full-time gig at the Krusty Krab. In any case, SpongeBob becomes more and more ragged as the days go by and Patrick fails to share the parental load. As we soon learn, the dim-witted starfish's idea of a hard day's work is watching TV all day under his rock. This year's San Diego Comic-Con International runs from Thursday, July 24 through Sunday, July 27. Click here for more info!
