SDCC 2023: Guide for Boba Fett Fans

Updated 7/20! For live updates, see our Facebook and Twitter pages for the most up-to-date imagery and info from the convention floor.

San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) is back again with in-person attendance. Two of us at BFFC will be attending again as press.

Here’s your very own checklist to all the Boba Fett stuff we know about in advance and/or as we see it. Updated frequently.

EXCLUSIVES and REVEALS

Hallmark (Booth 2913 aka Star Wars Pavilion) has a “vintage” Funko Boba Fett exclusive ornament shared with NYCC. Right when the convention opens, they have a queue for a ticket to buy this; when that runs out, they say come back at noon for a free-for-all style chance if they haven’t run out. There’s a limited quantity per day.

Beast Kingdom (Booth 2849) revealed their “Egg Attack Action” Arena Suit Boba Fett “exclusive.” We asked them on Preview Night if it’s an SDCC exclusive and were it’s not an SDCC only exclusive. We were basically told, if the 300 don’t sell this weekend, they’ll sell the remainder online. Their official social media post says an edition size of 1,000 worldwide. The price point is $80.

Beeline Creative (Booth 2913 aka Star Wars Pavilion) has a Boba Fett’s Starship punch bowl reveal. Preorders ship in August.

Josh Agle aka SHAG (Booth 3920) in collaboration with Beeline Creative has an official print called “Clash at Carkoon” for sale at SDCC. The 15 color serigraph is 23″ x 44″ unframed ($700) and 34″ x 55″ framed ($1,600). Limited edition of 200.

Hasbro has a “Vintage Collection” Krrsantan exclusive ($39.99). “Attendees can visit the Hasbro Pulse Desk at Hasbro’s Booth #3213 to receive a one-time use code, which can then be scanned and preordered. One code per customer. Limited quantities will be available to pre-order on HasbroPulse.com after the convention.”

And not a direct Boba connection but, on Friday only, RSVLTS (Booth 2913 aka Star Wars Pavilion) has a Mythosaur shirt in “unisex sizing as well as a romper style, features Mandalorian icons and a western style. Made of RSVLTS KUNUFLEX™ and available for $70 on Friday, July 21.”
