SDCC 2016: Touring Entertainment Earth’s Booth

Entertainment Earth‘s San Diego Comic-Con booth was a treasure trove of pop culture collectibles. A ton of different licenses were showcased within the display cases that the surrounded the booth (which was then surrounded by lines of attendees). Here are some of the highlights!

With Star Trek celebrating its 50th anniversary, there was plenty of merchandise to go around. One of the highlights was the Kirk versus Spock bobble head set taken from the episode, “Amok Time.” The figures are numbered and the base plays music from the show. Another item was a crossover between Star Trek and The Big Bang Theory. Part of Bif Bang Pow!’s new Pin Mate line (more on that in a moment), the set places the cast of TBBT in Star Trek uniforms.

One of the con-exclusives this year was a pink variant of the Wonder Woman Chair Cape (to commemorate the hero’s 75th anniversary). The Chair Capes stem from the desire to share a love of pop culture in daily life. Beyond the con-exclusive Wonder Woman variant, there was also capes from Batman Beyond, Superman, among others.

Batman was another hot property and inspired one of the con-exclusives, a Jack-in-the-box based on Joker from The Dark Knight. I’ll admit, this one creeped me a bit. There was also a set of Pin Mates starring the characters of Suicide Squad.

Let’s talk about Pin Mates for a second. They are part of Bif Bang Pow!’s movement to combine simple, nostalgic toy designs with current pop culture icons. In the Pin Mates case, the figures are made of wood and hand-painted. Convention-exclusives from this line include previously mentioned Star Trek/ The Big Bang Theory set and the Suicide Squad set plus a two-pack from Antman, which I though was pretty clever.

Also of a nostalgic nature is the four-inch wooden push puppet of Guardians of The Galaxy‘s Groot. I am told this will not be the only GotG puppet to be made. However, they may not all be of the “push” variety.

Entertainment Earth has listed their remaining SDCC-exclusive merchandise on their online store. Supplies are limited, so don’t miss out!
