Comic-Con report

Saturday was my one day at the San Diego Comic-Con for the year. The past two days, I’ve been recovering from it. The convention was sold out, as it always has been for years now… but the show floor was less crowded than usual. Oh, there were still plenty of …

Peanuts booth items, Comic-Con 2022

I’ve managed to get my hands on a picture of the special items that will be offered at the Peanuts booth at Comic-Con later this week. Unfortunately, what I’ve not been able to get my hands on is any text description of what these items are. So here I’ve marked …

Franklin stuff at Comic-Con

So once again they’re going to have a Peanuts pop-up “experience” (read: interesting display, with some items for sale) that is near but outside the convention, which means it will be open to folks who were not able to get into the con itself. This year, it’s themed “All Things …

Peanuts stuff at Comic-Con

So, I’m back and mostly recovered from Comic-Con. I had somehow missed the message that there would be another pop-up shop, this one focused on Peanuts and the space program. What were they selling? Reproductions of a 1960s Peanuts space-themed banner. And skateboard decks. Of course. Meanwhile, one of the …

What is and is not exclusive at that Peanuts offsite

As I mentioned a couple posts back, the Super7 store in San Diego will be doing a Peanuts pop-up within the shop starting on the Friday of San Diego con. The earliest release made it sound like this was just a launch for their products, but (alas for those who …

blatantly cool Peanuts toys/not toys

One of the nifty things about how the San Diego Comic-Con has grown over its 50 years of existence (I’ve only attended… oh, probably 30. Egad.) is that the convention has outgrown the convention center and spills out for many blocks around. Various companies and groups, not wanting to pay …

Pop! goes the Snoopy

If you want to get all the Comic-Con exclusive Peanuts space items, you’ll have to go beyond the Peanuts booth. Head on over to the Funko booth, and stand in line, and you’ll be able to buy this Astronaut Snoopy figure. I admit, as much as I like some Pops, …

Peanuts Comic-Con exclusives 2019

Well, the legendary San Diego Comic-Con is just around the corner… timewise, that is. Physically, it’s down in San Diego, which is like a month’s walk from where I am and even more from you. Anyway, as always, it’s far too late to get a ticket, which are hard to …
