SDCC 2013: Gentle Giant
With a wide variety of licensed products, the Gentle Giant booth was an interesting walk through. Star Wars, The Hobbit, Marvel and The Walking Dead get some interesting new statues and busts that you can get your hands on in the near future.
Personally, I'm digging some of those old-style Star Wars figures. While figures have vastly changed since the days of those old things, there's a nice kitsch factor in seeing them pop up again. Oh, and that live-size Kenner Stormtrooper? That's not just a model for the booth; that bad boy is real. It even has articulation and a blaster accessory! With a price tag between $1,500 and $2,000, I'm pretty sure that's going to make somebody with some deep products very happy.
The other things that tickled my fancy were the Iron Man suits. What can I say? I'm a sucker for a robot. The Zombie Magneto in the gallery below will be a New York Comic Con exclusive, so expect a ton of people to line up and buy him later this year. You'll also be able to get the Iron Patriot bust exclusively at Amazon, so swing by the online mega-shop if you want to order him.

SDCC 2013: Yamato
Yamato had a tremendous showing at SDCC this year and showed off a few prototypes. Also they had some A+ models which should be coming to stores soon. Also at the booth was last year's 50cm tall Cat woman collectible which still deserves a second look.
Some of the more interesting models in the gallery were of Lilith and LUZ who are from a book series called Malefic Time. I'm not sure what the series is about to be honest, but it looks like something I would have read in my younger years. Still the basic character design and mature look of these two ladies catches my eye.
There was an A+ Queens Blade Rebellion Brawen statue as well as an A+ Haruka from Senran Kagura. Both of these are going to be coming to stores very soon. Also while their images are in the gallery I would like to say that there are some pictures of them in there that are "Kind of not safe for work."
It wasn't all girls though, Yamato's Kawasaki Z1 1972 candy brown motorbike model stole a little corner spotlight. The bike is very pretty with a top notch paint job. I wish I had one of those when I was a kid

SDCC 2013: Kotobukiya
Kotobukiya's booth at this year's San Diego Comic Con was like a four-sided gallery of beautiful new figures, peppered with teaser placards for ones that have yet to be seen. It was all very exciting! Let's start with some of the new figures on display. Star Wars was a big license at the booth, starting with the new1/10-scale Sand Trooper 2-pack as well as the Sand Sergeant, both coming in 2014. Four of the classic characters from the series will also be getting 2-packs in 2014, Luke and Leia as well as a pairing of Han Solo and Chewbacca. You can see their teaser placards in the post's gallery. Kotobukiya will be having a booth at this year's New York Comic Con and the R2-Q5 will be one of the exclusives and come with a collector's coin. It will be available for pre-order.
Another new license recently acquired by Kotobukiya was The Avengers. They even commissioned the comic artist! The Hulk, Captain America, Black Widow, Ironman, Thor, and Hawkeye are part of this series. Pricing for this line has yet to be determined. They also acquired the Halo license for Art-Fx and Art-Fx+ figures. No Bishoujo figures are planned for this series. The Batman Arkham City and Arkham Origins figures will have bases, something not seen in Art-Fx. And, the final Justice League piece was also revealed at the booth. It will be Cyborg.
Moving onto Japanese licenses, Street Fighter's Cammi and Tekken's Jun Kazama will be getting the Bishoujo treatment. They had the prototype for Jun but only a placard for Cammi at the booth. For all of you enamored with Art-FX Gunman in Black ver. of Trigun's Vash the Stampede, the Kotobukiya US online store will have it available for pre-order "soon." No need to import! You will notice the Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Magician figure in our gallery. Well, Kotobukiya will also be releasing a flesh-tone version to match the character in the anime.
This is a whole lot of news to take in, for sure. After you've caught your breath, stay tuned to Tomopop for more SDCC coverage!

When Coarse began discussing their comic-con plans with Rotofugi, it was decided that a single 10 x 10 booth wouldn’t accommodate the release of not one, but three new limited-edition vinyl sculpture offerings.

SDCC 2013: Bandai/Bluefin's Evangelion figures
Evangelion fans didn't have much to cheer for at SDCC, as the franchise went woefully underrepresented. As far as I know, there was just a single art book at Udon's booth and a handful of small-scale figures at Bluefin's booth. You'd think with there being a new(ish) movie and all, there would be more Eva merchandise. But maybe those are best saved for another event (Wonder Festival, anyone?).
Bandai's Evangelion Portraits line did have a small showing at Bluefin's booth, as I mentioned. It consists of four of the pilots featured in Evangelion 3.0: Kaworu, Asuka, Shinji, and Rei. Asuka and Rei were rocking their new plug suits while Kaworu and Shinji looked unremarkable in their school uniforms. Mari was MIA, to my disappointment.
The other group of Eva figures has some mild spoilers, so stop reading now if you're avoiding Evangelion 3.0 spoilers.
