Random Toys that would've been SDCC Exclusives

 Due to COVID-19, SDCC is virtual for the second year. Toy companies have scrambled to have some exclusives on their sites.

Mattel has a Mattycollector replacement... where they sold the shitty Madsaki Battlecats... now they're gonna sell a rabbit Battlecat for MegaBloks... because reasons.
They also have the Land shark and a Wind Raider from Hot Wheels with a mini He-Man and Skeletor. 
Last but not least a $35 Revelation Scareglow.
He also comes with a weird power sword that splits in two and glows in the dark. The reason he's $35 is LED lights in his box.

While the Scareglow figure looks cool the whole idea of him being an exclusive is a bit underwhelming. 
The other exclusives are kinda lame as well.

If I hadn't responsibilities and could throw obscene amounts of money into a single toy item... Snake Mountain was an exception because it was fulfilling Mom's promise. As I was saying, Haslab made my wallet commit Sudoku 32 times in a row.

$400 Galactus... Twice as tall as the ToyBiz figure. He's bigger than the Sentinel. He will also have stretch goals. By the time of this rant being written He's almost halfway to the minimum goal.

He has light up stuff, but 32 inches of Galactus... that's almost a toddler sized toy. 

Hasbro also has a thermochromic Zartan figure. Unlike past releases of the color change Zartan, that depend on the UV radiation to change color this one changes on temperature. It's literally a re-release of the classified Zartan but with color change plastic.
Right now I'm going through some personal issues that are severely limiting my "non-essentials" budget, which sucks because Icon Heroes is releasing John Kreese in a Cobra Kai boxset... DAMMIT!! 

I wanted Kreese. OK maybe Tommy for obvious reasons and that's it. No love for Bobby or Dutch.

We still don't know if Super7 will make a GITD variant of Something or the best thing for the universe to kick me in the dick, a gitd spirit Jaga. Calling it right now.
