The cool thing about Comic-Con International is the amount of access that we get to all sorts of exclusive stuff at the show. And although we have a while yet before the show actually hits, Diamond revealed some of the toys that will be made available exclusively to people who plan on attending. The items this year range from an exclusive limited edition Darkchylde statue, to AVX minimates and a whole lot more. What toys would you like to pick up at the show?
Oh, and don't worry -- if you see something you like, there's a good chance it might pop up on Ebay sometime in late July. Because you know, not everyone can go to Comic-Con, but some of us can still get our hands on these precious little relics.
