Comic-Con International has always been a collector’s paradise, and this year’s show in San Diego (SDCC 2026) is shaping up to be one of the best ever. That’s especially true if you’re a fan of Sideshow and Hot Toys. They’ve pulled out all the stops this year with an all-new new booth (#2401 on the convention floor)where all your favorite fandoms collide!
The booth this year ushers in a new era for the toy-making consortium. As they tell us, “The newly redesigned booth featured hundreds of products, including 1/6 scale action figures, deluxe statues, limited-edition art prints, and even life-size collectibles.” Looking to see particular Sideshow or Hot Toys fandom representation? Pick one. Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Aliens, Predator, you name it; it’s all there, and then some.
Sideshow and Hot Toys showcase a universe of fandoms
If you’re a Star Wars fan, you’ll be particularly pleased this year. Highlighting the offerings from a galaxy far, far away you’ll find a Premium Format Chewbacca with C-3PO from The Empire Strikes Back. (the figure is currently available by RSVP only, which you can reserve HERE.) The original trilogy features prominently; you can also find a Wampa and Jabba the Hutt’s Rancor.
If Star Wars isn’t your thing, Sideshow and Hot Toys have plenty to offer from Marvel, as well. In anticipation of the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, they have perhaps one of the best-looking Spider-Man figures yet. The web-slinger is “fully custom-tailored from head to toe in a bespoke full-fabric costume, adding a whole new level of detail and realism to this ultra-deluxe limited-edition collectible.”
Tim Burton fan (like yours truly) will be particularly excited to see an iconic scene from Beetlejuice. Lydia in her gothic, red wedding dress is perhaps one of the most memorable of all Tim Burton scenes…. And now you can cherish the memory forever.
DC favorites and more available at SDCC
If DC Comics are more your thing, well, Sideshow and Hot Toys have plenty more there for you too. From old school Superman, to modern Supergirl, to classic Batman and Mr. Freeze…. Let’s just say you’re going to have a hard time deciding who you take home from San Diego this year.
Perhaps most exciting is the utter cornucopia of creative studios you can find in the booth this year. In addition to Side Show and Hot Toys, you’ll also find Premium Collectible Studios (PCS), PureArts, Infinity Studio, Cosmic Creations, and more. There will be “new and never-before-seen creations” that are sure entice and enthrall all who visit the booth.
With so many offerings from which to select, you’re going to have a a hard time choosing. Want a recommendation? We suggest going old school. Dracula. Creature from the Black Lagoon. Bride of Frankenstein. Even old-school Godzilla. Pick one – you won’t be disappointed.
