The Must-Have Exclusives From San Diego Comic-Con 2025

In just a couple more days, pop culture will descend on the San Diego Convention Center as SDCC prepares to dazzle us for another year (if everyone didn't stop releasing their trailers before their panels, that is). But of course, among all the big news and astonishing cosplay, there's going to be tons of fantastic merch to get your hands on exclusive to Comic-Con. Here's our guide to some of the absolute coolest on offer. 100% Soft Galactus Vinyl SDCC is taking place during Fantastic Four: First Steps' opening weekend, and one of our favorite artists, 100% Soft, is celebrating the marriage in style with this adorable, glittery 11-inch-tall vinyl figurine of the devourer of worlds ready to take another nibble out of Earth. Look how distressed that poor little planet is! Adorable. ($100, available at Booth #315) Jazwares Pokémon Squirtle Squad Plushes Jazwares has a ton of exclusives at the con this year, from Avatar: The Last Airbender to Stranger Things, but we can't help but love this totally cool five-pack of Squirtle plushies, inspired by the arrival of the Squirtle Squad in the classic Pokémon anime. ($100, available at Booth # 3513) Bandai S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla 2023 Godzilla is all over SDCC this year celebrating his 70th anniversary, but the cream of the crop has to be this exclusive take on the MonsterArts figure for the King of All Kaiju as he appeared in the seminal Godzilla Minus One. The new colorway depicts Godzilla's back glowing with blue energy as he prepares to discharge his atomic breath (which is, of course, included as a similarly electric-colored FX piece). ($160, available at both Booth # 3329and # 3345) Star Wars Unlimited Droid Blueprint Cards Fantasy Flight Games is bringing its Star Wars TCG to SDCC in style with this special pack of convention-exclusive cards. The six-pack includes Unlimited cards for C-3PO, BB-8, Chopper, R2-D2, BD-1, and L3-37 in a special blueprint-style design variant, complete in a special card box designed to look like R2. ($100, available at Booth #2913E and other conventions throughout the year). Mattel Jurassic World Tyrannosaurus Rex Convention Crasher This brilliant homage to The Lost World's San Diego-set climax sees a T. Rex come calling, petrifying con-goers like the included human figure dressed in a perpetual convention cosplay staple: the inflatable dinosaur costume. And, of course, there's even a convention banner for the T. Rex to menace, and the packaging itself is inspired by the design of the San Diego Convention Center! ($85, available at Booth #2945 and online from July 24) Mondo X-Men '97 1/6 Savage Land Rogue Inspired by its appearance in the Disney+ animated series explaining Rogue and Magneto's backstory together, this take on Mondo's animated Rogue figure gives Anna-Marie her torn-up Savage Land look, as well as a suitably forested jungle base, a staff, and other accessories, including several alternate heads with the most dramatically tousled hair possible. ($255, available at Booth #5045 and online from July 23) Hasbro Star Wars Black Series Revenge of the Sith Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi 2-Pack Hasbro has lots of exclusives at the con for its various toy lines, but the very best has to be its celebration of Revenge of the Sith's 20th anniversary this year. Two newly updated figures of Anakin and Obi-Wan (including alternate heads inspired by their appearance in the climax of the film's duel on Mustafar) would be good enough, but the set is made remarkable by the massive display base recreating the lava platform the two cross sabers on briefly during the epic Battle of the Heroes sequence, raised to 'float' atop licking flames. ($110, available at Booth #3213 and online at a later date). Factory Entertainment Star Trek Desktop Viewer Scaled Prop Replica This very cute 3-inch-tall replica of the personal computer interfaces from the original Star Trek includes multiple replaceable graphics for the viewscreen, including a technical readout of the Enterprise and stills from the TV show of Spock and Uhura. Just try not to crush it under your fist in a fit of Vulcan rage. ($70, available at Booth #2743 and online) NECA Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Bodacious Beach Bros Pack NECA is bringing a suitably summery set of Ninja Turtles to the con this year, with a four-pack of Leo, Donnie, Mikey, and Raph inspired by their appearances across multiple episodes of the beloved 1987 cartoon. Each Turtle has a beachwear look, accessories like hats and sunglasses, and their own surfboards, which can be posed on an included wave display base for maximum 'tude. Oh, and of course, there's plenty of pizza included for post-surf snacking. ($150, available at Booth #3545) Many, Many (Many) Funko Pops It wouldn't be a convention if Funko didn't bring an absolute swath of special variant Pop Vinyls to ensure that its booth is perpetually packed with queues of con-goers. Highlights this year include celebrations of 15 years of the line, with special vinyls of Batman, Robin, and the Penguin replicating the original pop packaging; the X-Men's Dazzler and Fantastic Four: First Steps' HERBIE representing Marvel; an adorably-eared Naruto; and so much more. (available at Booth #5341 and online from various retailers starting July 24—see the graphic above for more info!)

This Year the Squirtle Squad Is the Coolest SDCC Merch Around

July is upon us, and in nerd circles that means only one thing: San Diego Comic-Con is nearly here. And if SDCC is nearly here, then so are oodles of exclusive toys, plushies, and other sweet merchandise you can get your mitts on. We've already seen a few of the hottest toys at the convention this year, but today it's Jazwares' turn to show you something cool. Real cool. io9 has got your exclusive first look at the whole haul of exclusive items Jazwares will have at SDCC this year, bringing together tons of franchises from Star Wars to Stranger Things, Avatar: The Last Airbender, some comic-inspired AEW, and much, much more. Squads are the name of the game this year, from the Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron Imperial Hangar Bay set, a multipack including Darth Vader's TIE Advanced flanked by members of Black Squadron, to even cutesy multipacks for Squishmallows and Yo Gabba Gabba!. But of course, the highlight of the offerings this year is the ultimate squad: the coolest water-type Pokémon to ever walk Kanto in the glorious five-pack of shades-wearing Squirtles, based on the 12th episode of the original Pokémon anime. Check out our exclusive breakdown of all of Jazwares' exclusives for San Diego Comic-Con 2025 below, including how much they'll cost and where you can grab them. The Last Airbender gets not one, but two exclusives from Jazwares this year, including a 6.5″ Zuko figure, complete with a plethora of accessories (including alternate heads, hands, and firebending effects) and convention-exclusive packaging, and a 'Kawaii' Lil' Elemental Aang figurine in an exclusive golden colorway. Zuko will cost $40 and be available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513, while Aang will cost $20 and can be found at the Paramount booth. Celebrating the 50th and 20th anniversaries of two of Sanrio's most popular (and adorable) characters, these 12″ plushes come in their own numbered boxes, in runs of 1,000 each. $40 each, both available separately at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. The latest Swerve Strickland to enter Jazwares' AEW Unrivaled collection adds a suitably comic-convention twist: Strickland comes kitted out in his robe and Black Panther-inspired wrestling gear from AEW Dynasty 2024. The figure comes with a swappable masked head, alternate hands, and a removable robe. $40, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. Based on Tokidoki's new Mermicorno Starfall animated series, this plush depicts Astra the Mermicorno in her powered-up form and comes with a certificate of authenticity identifying its place in the run of 500. $30, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. Five 8″ Squirtle plushes get the coolest upgrades of their lives to transform them into the Squirtle Squad! Four round-glasses-wearing Squirtles are joined by their pointy-shades-wearing leader, who eventually becomes Ash's Squirtle in the anime. They each have unique poses inspored by the anime, and come grouped together in special packaging so you can show off your squad goals around the convention halls. $100, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. Five 3″ figurines of Toodie, Plex, Brobee, Muno, and Foofa get bundled together in special Yo Gabba Gabba! packaging, letting you display them in-box or out. $100, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. The Total Anime Bakugo figure gets a fun upgrade for the con—alongside two alternate faceplates, two sets of extra hands, and a litany of suitably explosive blast effects to recreate Bakugo's powers. The limited run of 500 figures comes in special fold-out packaging that can be transformed into a ruined battle arena for the Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight himself to fight in. $40, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. Traversing comic conventions is hungry work, so why not replicate the hunt for the best food trucks and snacks around SDCC with this quartet of Squishmallow plush sets? Each to-go box includes three 5″ plushes, each with a particular theme: American (including fries, soda, and a burger), Brunch (including coffee, pancakes, and a breakfast sandwich), Asian (including boba, noodles, and a steamed bun), and Mexican (including a taco, horchata, and a tortilla-chip-crowned dip). $40 each, available separately at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. The Star Wars multipack offering at SDCC brings together Darth Vader's TIE Advanced, flanked by two TIE Fighters from Black Squadron. As well as mini figurines of Vader and two TIE pilots, the set includes special light-up packaging, to replicate the appearance of the TIEs preparing for takeoff in an Imperial hangar. $100, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. This fully articulated 6″ Demogorgon action figure comes with a swappable head to showcase its open or closed mouth, as well as a special base replicating the swirling tendrils of the Upside Down. It even has glow-in-the-dark elements for maximum creep factor! $20, available at the Jazwares booth at SDCC, #3513. Comic-Con returns to San Diego July 24-27. Want more io9 news?
