STRANGECO AT COMIC CON!
BOOTH 4629
July 23 to 26, 2009
San Diego Convention Center
San Diego, CA

It's already July, which is easy to forget in fogged-in San Francisco. Luckily we have the San Diego Comic Con to mark the mid-summer season, and Whoa Nelly - it's now right around the corner!

As always, we are packing up shop, making the journey to sunny San Diego and grabbing our usual spot: Booth 4629 at the top of the Designer Toy section at SDCC. It's our seventh year at Comic Con (?!), so we're Bringing it ON with Show Exclusives, Special Deals, After-Hours Fun - and some special surprise announcements, too. Read on...

SDCC EXCLUSIVES:



TOKIDOKI: This year, STRANGEco will be showcasing FIVE (count 'em - FIVE) Special Edition characters from Simone Legno and tokidoki! You've loved them so much in full technicolor that we decided to release special platinum and grayscale versions for your adoration and collecting pleasure.
  • SKELETRINO & SKELETRINA/Platinum Editions: 250 pieces, $15/ea.
  • BRUTTINO & CARINA/Platinum Editions: 250 pieces, $15/ea.

Meet Julie West at the STRANGEco booth, Friday 1 to 2 pm!

Look for a full range of STRANGE-goods, too, including hard to find exclusive pieces from Julie West, Greg Simkins and more.

Come see us! That's Booth 4629, right in the center of the most exciting section of Comic con. We love you and want to give you a hug. Or at least offer you some of the most exciting collectible toys, gifts and apparel around.

KAIJU BIG BATTLE:



Come watch San Diego get destroyed by the spectacle of rampaging wrestling monsters! Sponsored by STRANGEco and our friends at Rocket World and McCarty Photoworks.
