BrutalGamer Bringing you Brutally Honest feedback from today's entertainment industry.
If you’re headed to Comic Con in San Diego next month, then you’re going to want to stop off at Diamond Select’s Booth to nab a few of these SDCC exclusives.
Diamond always gets a solid assortment of goodies set up for Comic Con’s both west and east and the 2014 edition of the SDCC features some truly awesome stuff for just about any type of fan out there. Be you a Walking Dead-ite, Marvel maniac, Star Wars nut, or anything in between, there’s bound to be something for you here.
My personal ‘can’t misses’ are the USS Excelsior from Star Trek (complete with George Takei voice!) and the Days of Future Past Minimates set from X-Men. That angry little Wolvie is just too cool. Have a look at everything below and then set your calendars; SDCC runs from July 24th through the 27th.
