If you know anything about Funko Pops or Dorbz, limited edition SDCC Pops & Dorbz are among some of the most desirable around. Prices at the convention are fair, but the second you get outside, prices tend to rocket up and continue to over the coming weeks, months and years. Some SDCC exclusives going back 3 or 4 years ago, currently sell for hundreds on the second hand market. Anyway, lets see whats going to be up for grabs!
Firstly we have The Powerpuff Girls, from the classic TV shows that we all grew up with. Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup.
Next up we have Peter Potamus & So-So 2-pack (750pc LE) from Hanna Barbera. 2 Duck dodgers, glow in the dark white gamma (1500pc LE) & glow in the dark blue gamma (750pc LE). We also have a new Scott Pilgrim!! Scott Pilgrim vs. The World – Sex Bob-Omb 3-pack

The next two have been regularly discussed within the community and are wanted by many. Since the second wave of Willy Wonka Pops was announced, minus Violet, many had hoped she would be a SDCC exclusive and they’re in luck. Also the first ever Doctor Strange pop will be available.
Next we have something for all the Walking Dead fans, a burning walker, which does look awesome! We also have Cursed Barbossa and Marcus Fenix with Head variants from Gears of War, the first of which is 1000pc LE.

Seriously, there are so many variants now but this is one of the better ones (cowboy deadpool). We also have Golden Freddy from Five Nights at Freddys, another mean looking 6″ Gorilla Grodd from The Flash and a 1966 Chrome Batmobile (Toy Tokyo LE).
Next we have the almighty, Mag The Mighty (6″) from Game of Thrones and a pretty sweet looking underwater Batman from Suicide Squad.
There will also be available Olivia Moore from iZombie, a very patriotic Snoopy in the American colours and a very cool double pack including Pete & his 6″ dragon!
