Comic-Con has been home to some of the greatest action figures of all time, and every year fans try their hardest to get the toy they need.

Blake Schultz (Hollywood Already Did It) and Justin Donaldson (Tournament of Nerds) explore the history of SDCC exclusive figures along with their guests: Randy Falk (NECA), Bill Miekina (Mattel), and Rocom (Hasbro) to discuss their time creating toys for Comic-Con, and how it has changed over the years.

As expected from our previous coverage of Comic-Con’s 2020 cancellation, Comic-Con@Home is confirmed:

“For the first time in our 50-year history, we are happy to welcome virtually anyone from around the globe,” said SDCC spokesperson David Glanzer. “Though stay-at-home conditions make this a very difficult time, we see this as an opportunity to spread some joy and strengthen our sense of community.” Comic-Con@Home will be held on the same dates as the previously canceled Comic-Con, July 22-26, 2020, and online attendees are encouraged to use the official #ComicConAtHome hashtag to be included in the virtual activities. Organizers and participating entities will begin providing additional details in announcements leading up to the event.

Ponder this while we await official word from Hasbro regarding their annual Transformers-related convention exclusives:

“So if you couldn’t bag an exclusive Hasbro toy in previous years because you couldn’t attend, now will be your chance without the headache of standing in line.”

After the postponement of sister convention WonderCon Anaheim, the initial statement that “No one is as hopeful as we are that we will be able to celebrate #SDCC2020 together come July,” and the pausing of early bird hotel sales, Comic-Con posted the following today:

Comic-Con Cancellation/Refund Policy
All individuals who purchased badges for Comic-Con 2020 will have the option to request a refund or transfer their badges to Comic-Con 2021. All 2020 badge holders will receive an email within the next week with instructions on how to request a refund. Thank you for your patience.

The historical “WonderCon Anaheim tested, Comic-Con approved!” Toucan footsteps of RFID Badges and the Exclusives Portal – which is of annual interest to attendees in the TFW2005 community hunting for Hasbro’s Transformers-related exclusives –
might indicate the possibility of an online component launching on or near the originally planned convention dates of July 22-26, similar to April’s WonderCon@Home.

Update: Full press release here, which reads in part:

For the first time in its 50-year history San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC), the organizers behind the annual pop culture celebration, announced today with deep regret that there will be no Comic-Con in 2020. The event will instead return to the San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25, 2021.

Similarly, WonderCon Anaheim, which was to have been held April 10-12, 2020 will return to the Anaheim Convention Center from March 26-28, 2021.

“Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures and while we are saddened to take this action, we know it is the right decision,” said David Glanzer, spokesperson for the organization. “We eagerly look forward to the time when we can all meet again and share in the community we all love and enjoy.”
