You have the power, to see some cool stuff

It sounds like Mattel is planning on having a big time Comic Con indeed. The classic company will be inhabiting two booths at the pop-culture mega convention next week, and will be bringing its biggest and most iconic lines. Of course, those include the classic Masters of the Universe, which is resurgent in a very big way, as well as hits like Jurassic Park, WWE, Hot Wheels, and more.

Attending fans can look for special “fan experiences”, where they’ll be able to meet some of the people behind the toys (including WWE Superstars) and get some limited edition freebies. On top of that though, there’ll also be panels to check out, and limited drops of new merchandise during something called “12 Days of Fandom”. That’s something that you can actually check out right now if you’re an attendee, via the official Comic-Con 2023 Exclusives Portal.

As for the stuff at the con itself, here’s your rundown:
