One of the consistently most crowded booths at Comic-Con this year was the structure shared by BifBangPow! and Entertainment Earth, where eager attendees lined up throughout the show to get a hold of some of the best exclusives money could buy. BifBangPow! (BBP) brought some real crowd pleasers too with products like bobble heads, figures, Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon with SDCC shirt and bag, a new 3 ¾ Naked Brock Samson (while the creators were excited for it to be anatomically correct, Cartoon Network said “absolutely not”), their iconic “tin totes” from Adventure Time, Regular Show, Dexter, Battelstar Galactica, and Venture Bros., and lots more. There were also two display cases on hand packed with the latest releases and upcoming items for us to ogle.
A big hit for the company is Big Bang Theory, and they’re continuing the 8 inch figure lineup with a series of the characters dressed in Star Trek The Original Series uniforms. We’ll also be seeing more 8 inch figures in the Doctor Who series (including both classic and modern characters - a new 10th Doctor was on display at the booth), Twilight Zone (Alien, Nurse, and Hansen), Venture Bros. (Sgt. Hatred and H.E.L.P.eR.), and Battlestar Galactica. Also from Twilight Zone we got to see the new version of the full size Talky Tiny doll, this time in color! Bobble heads also continue this year with the full Star Trek The Next Generation Enterprise-D bridge set (which you’ll need the SDCC exclusive Wesley to complete). One of my favorites, the Venture Bros. 3 ¾ inch figure line slowly but surely adds new characters, with the latest releases being Dr. Venture and the nefarious Phantom Limb.
BifBangPow!’s newest license, announced just before the show, is Saturday Night Live, and the first batch of products focus on the Drunk Uncle character with bobble head, bottle opener, and journal. Speaking of which, BBP also continues to crank out tons of fun novelty and collectible items like journals, drinkware, and much more for many of their licenses.
