LEGO has just revealed the other exclusive minifigure that will be given away at San Diego Comic Con 2017 with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Deadpool Duck and it will be available on Thursday, July 20 and Saturday, July 22. The procedure is still the still where you have to go up to the Sails Pavilion at 12:30pm and go through the iPad lottery system.
The other exclusive minifigure that was revealed yesterday was the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Legends of Tomorrow Vixen which will be available Friday, July 21 and Sunday, July 23.

Seriously? An alt-universe Deadpool minifig that’s limited edition and handed out roughly halfway between the smash hit movie and the impending sequel? I think I see what’s going on here. Whoever is in charge of this program obviously had parents who bought him a new dog every day of his childhood…and then made him watch while they murdered it right in front of him. It’s the only thing that makes any sense.
Somebody better be able to turn Donald into a quality repro of this thing.
Whelp, that’s a little dark. Like, too dark for these comments I hope?
Nope. Dark, I’ll give you, but at least I kept it civilized and humorous.
I didn’t find it very humorous.
What the heck is this? Is this thing a real character? XD
First published this year, so yea.
But…but…the Loony Tunes have turned….R RATED? :O
No, it’s very benign compared to other Deadpool works, at least based on the first issue that I read today. Nothing I would expect someone under 13 to be very surprised by.
Oh okay. But one question, Daffy Duck is Warner Bros. owned, and yet Deadpool is a Marvel character. Was their collaboration somewhere along the way?
Technically speaking, it’s Howard the Duck. He’s Marvel owned. Daffy duck is a black duck, anyway. It might be less confusing if you read the comic yourself.
Anonymous – Howard the Duck comics are good, but steer clear of the 80’s movie, unless you love 80’s cheese.
Once we found cheese from the 80s in my grandma’s refrigerator.
Ooooh….I thought it was Daffy. Shows how much I know about the matter.
It’s okay, I thought it was Daffy as well until I read the comic.
hey at least its not spider gwen or spiderman 2099
but seriously I have never heard of this character did deadpool get sucked into howard the ducks world
Yes, actually. That’s roughly exactly what happens.
Brickset has an image.
Brickset has a photo.
sorry about the double post
IMO LEGO does nothing to help their cause when it comes to knock offs. I hate the knock offs, but is it any wonder they sell when LEGO refuses to at least make these promos available to ALL major conventions and not just the popularity fest that is San Diego?
Their job at SDCC isn’t to stop knockoffs. It’s to give something special to the people that wait in line and win a lottery after paying (on average) over a thousand dollars to attend the biggest comic convention in the world. It’s fun and exclusives like this make the experience worthwhile. Don’t complain.
I can complain that these figures are often something that will never be produced in another form by Lego. Exclusives of an obscure figure basically guarantees it’s the only line Lego will be producing of a particular thing.
Oh well. Knockoff companies stay in business for a reason.
Yeah, you can complain. It’s just obnoxious and pointless. You’re whining about a toy. Knockoff companies are totally irrelevant. If it matters so much to you, buy a knockoff figure from those guys. I’ll enjoy being at the convention and maybe try to get one of these.
Ah yes, forgive me for doubting the superiority of your financial success. I bow to your bigger pocket books, and am properly reminded that in the US, having money makes other peoples beliefs irrelevant. I guess I have something to look forward to when I graduate and make enough to disregard the opinions of others.
I didn’t mention money and I’m not suggesting that you’re inferior. I apologize if it seems I am suggesting that. I’m just saying, it’s a free figure given away at an event that costs people a lot of money. For those that win, it’s a reward. That’s how it works here. For those that don’t win or can’t afford to be at the convention, it’s tough luck. Plain and simple.
Fair enough. It’s highly unlikely that any Lego employees ever read these comments anyway.
They do.
Well in that case:
Hey LEGO- these SDCC exclusives are really off-putting and in-fun for your fans who can’t make it to the convention.
Adding onto that: But they’re really fun for people who can attend so thank you for doing them.
A figure to commemorate the event is fine but it gets annoying when its a character with mass appeal. That is the point people have been trying to make while you sit there and brag about having the fortune of being able to go to the con at a small cost. Do yourself and the world a favor and shove that elitist, self centered, self serving out of touch perspective up your ass. Hopefully it fits what with your head already being there.
Deadpool Duck has mass appeal? Funny, I’ve never heard of him before this.
As I’ve said, I have no fortune. My father is basically in poverty and my mom makes /just enough/ for us to do things like this. They’re seperated. Going here isn’t something I take for granted.
Speaking of out of touch perspectives, you’d be singing a different tune if you attended. If your family can’t afford it, I understand. There’s a billion other things you could do with the money anyway.
My point is, this is a special event. Things like this make it special. I waited two hours for this figure and there was only a 50/50 chance id get it. I waited because it’s a figure I wanted, not some generic figure with a SDCC shirt
The pleasure you get out of something shouldn’t be derived from the fact that other people can’t have it. That’s what elitism is.
When you feel they need to be at SDCC because you happen to be going, that’s basically what a self-serving comment is.
When some people would like these for everyone, and you want it for just yourself and select others, you can’t call other people entitled. It just doesn’t work like that.
And no, I would never, ever feel good about getting
something, or feel that it was ‘special’ just because my fellow collectors didn’t have an opportunity to get it. I can’t even imagine feeling that way.
I get to be elitist. I’m at a con other people aren’t. I had fun and got an exclusive figure. I don’t take pleasure out of knowing you didn’t get it and don’t have the chance to, I honestly don’t, but I do enjoy that I have it and that I’m here at this event. You want it? Try and come next year. You’ll have fun too.
Elitism is not something to aspire to.
And yes, you should enjoy it just the same if Lego released it for everyone (and it wasn’t exclusive). But I’m pretty sure you’re been saying the opposite of that.
clearly you’ve never been to a con like this.
Doesn’t matter if I’m elitist. I have the figure. I’m at the con. I’m having fun. This entire experience is an exclusive one that not many people have and I shouldn’t take it for granted. I’m having fun here regardless of what people like you who aren’t here do to try and ruin that. If your intention isn’t to ruin my mood by trying to guess it me for being here, I don’t know what it is.
“I get to be elitist”
Yeah, and we all get to call you out on it. Don’t like it? Don’t be an elitist.
Enjoy the convention.
Call me out on it. I’m here. It’s what the Con is all about. Won’t change your reality, won’t ruin mine.
Deadpool anything has mass appeal, especially after the massive success of the movie.
Compare prices to those of Vixen. Vixen auctions have high bids that are as low as $11.50, where the lowest high bid on a Deadpool Duck is $165.00. Vixen auctions with minimum bids in the $200 range rarely have any bids, where actual bids for Deadpool Duck are currently as high as $350. I think the worst announced SDCC minifig (so excluding that one $1800 Azog) was black suit Superman, who was selling in the $700 range from what I remember, but that was also around the time that adults and any kids beyond the first were pointedly handed losing tickets while a single kid per family was given a winning ticket from a separate supply. As a result, this specific minifig probably didn’t hit the resale market in the same numbers as some of the others had. Generally, the SDCC exclusives launch at around $250-300, so Deadpool Duck is either right in line with the standard, or slightly higher. Vixen is more comparable to Unikitty, who was seriously outpriced by the two Superheroes minifigs from the same year (Bard was the fourth, but he was not exclusive to SDCC, so his prices are more in line with the SDCC Batman and Green Lantern from 2011, prior to the announcement of the 2012 minifigs when it was revealed that these would _stay_ exclusive to SDCC and people instantly gave up hope of ever being able to acquire them in a retail set like the NYCC Superman).
I think you’ve gone off the deep end of rude here.
@tormentalous:disqus – not sure if this is allowed?
And yet your elitist, self centered, self serving out of touch perspective is.
My elitist, self-centered, self serving out of touch perspective isn’t swearing and insulting people
Even if she were out of touch, that doesn’t make her openly offensive to people.
You have mentioned money, several times.
Enjoy the convention.
I didn’t mention it in the context of “I have more money than you, you’re less than me because you have less.”
I only mentioned money in context of how much Lego has and how much it costs to come here. I never talked about my own financial position
Sorry, but the amount of “I’m at the convention and here’s how much it costs me to go and I know people are envious if they can’t afford it” (all things you’ve said), especially when added to the raw elitism of the attitude that people who can’t make it don’t deserve to express an opinion add up to you bragging about your money.
But hey! Enjoy the convention. You do seem very proud of your ability to afford a ticket and I don’t want to take that away from you. It seems very important to you.
I never said how much it costed me to go. It costs much more for other people to go than it costs me. My family isn’t in a great financial spot either but we live in the city. We don’t have to buy a hotel or parking or plane reservations. That saves us so much money. We hardly buy anything at the con either. You’re making a hell of an assumption about me.
Why should people who don’t attend try to say what they can and can’t give out as exclusives? I used to not attend and I was envious of everyone who could but now that I can I get to do all the things I wanted to do. The con is all about exclusive experiences.
You’ve literally quoted “over a thousand dollars.”
You don’t get to brag outnof one side of your mouth and deny it with the other.
If you don’t like having your own behavior repeated back to you, change it.
I said it costs a lot of other people who are here a lot of money. It’s not about bragging, it’s about saying that most people here on average spend over 1,000 dollars to get here and attend the convention. Not to mention, they have to wait in lines and even then only have a 50/50 chance of getting the figure.
I have no clue where the rest of your comment is coming from but whateves
My responses are coming from reading your comments. Just like all the other people responding in similar ways.
Now that people are calling you out on the money thing you’re all “what? No, not me my family is poor” but you sure did want to imply that you were spending. And you still play the elitist “I’m here and you aren’t so I deserve a prize” BS.
Just to burst your bubble a bit: I attended SDCC several times decades ago, and I wouldn’t go now if you paid me, let alone shell out for it.
I’ll say it again, one last time and clearly: my and other people’s negative reactions to your posts are because you’re coming across like a jerk.
And in case you haven’t gotten it yet, I keep telling you to enjoy the convention because it seems like you don’t have much else to cling to in life, apart from buying a ticket to an event we could ALL attend if we cared to.
Enjoy the convention!
I’m spending what I can. It’s less than what other people can. Our financial position is not very great, so being able to /just/ be able to afford it with my both mother and me attending, it’s something we look forward to each year. We save money for it. It’s planning and working and hoping all year round. So yes, I’m glad that I am able to be here and attend without having to shovel even more money out to do so.
These exclusives are part of the fun for me. I like them. Everyone here does. They’re what people are here for. Exclusive toys, exclusive footage, etc. That’s literally why people come to the convention and wait in huge lines to get things.
I don’t know how I’m coming across as a jerk, but I’m not sure I care, considering how much people’s responses reek of self-righteousness. They don’t consider the struggle to get here and even when you’re here, the time and energy it takes. There are people sleeping outside Hall H right now to get in for Saturday. The line for this Lego figure went down to Seaport Village. Even when you get to the front of the line, there’s only a 50/50 chance you’ll get it.
Why don’t I get to be happy that I’m here? Why don’t I get to be excited that there’s this neat exclusive my family saved up money to get? Why don’t people that shoveled up THOUSANDS of dollars to get here get to be excited about a figure that you can only get at the place they just so happened to spend so much money for? Why does this make me or them “jerks”?
Speaking of jerk, you’re really rude. Making assumptions about my life and lifestyle but you don’t even know me. I happen to have a happy life outside the convention, but when I’m here and when it took a lot to get here, I’m going to do that.
By the way, you probably can’t attend whenever you want. Tickets sell out really fast and they’re hard to get. I’m incredibly lucky and I don’t take it for granted.
By doing something “special” for the scalpers at SDCC (and
yes, the majority of these things go directly to Ebay for big bucks) they are alienating fans and collectors globally.
And I’m at a total loss as to why I shouldn’t complain when
the company I have supported for 40+ years tells me my loyalty can’t buy me $3 minifig.
I don’t see why they should care. You’re not entitled to the figure. It’s designed for people who attend the event and pay a lot of money to do so. It’s proven to work and the system they have in place here at the con makes sure they’re fairly distributed throughout the crowd.
Nobody’s being alienated. Even if some people are, they’re not going to stop buying legos, and even if they do, it won’t hurt Lego much. I guess this all boils down to a big “sucks for you for feeling so entitled to owning a kid’s toy.”
I did not say it does, but LEGO is not helping their cause by making wanted promo figures available at only one major con because of its proximity to Hollywood. 500 dollars for one figure vs .99 cents for the knockoff.. hmmm gee what to choose. It also should have nothing to do with people having to pay X or Y to get into said convention. The majority of the folks that get these are the ones that think it is a major cash cow to offset their cost going to the Con. Fairly certain that is also why LEGO is not making these available at the con either.
I get that LEGO wants to do promos to get people to the LEGO display. Fine, then do them for every major con around the world, to which many many more would have better access than to have to spend 1000’s of dollars to go to one location once a year just have a chance to get one.
Just because people can afford to be gouged to go to SDCC does not mean this should be a reward. Again, LEGO is NOT making them for that purpose (which is also one of the reasons it is a raffle instead of first come). While we are talking about it.
K. Whatever. I have my figure. I’m enjoying this con. I’m out. Bye!
Now this I’m okay with being an exclusive, because only people at Comicon can care.

They took this from this episode
The minifigure that NO ONE demanded … Not going to lose any sleep over missing out on this one …
So going to pick up a knock off on eBay for $1.50. This weirdness is exactly what I want.
This minifigure is pretty lit. Probably the first SDCC minifig I’ve wanted as much as the Iron Man. I can see this one being very pricy on the market.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cb414504a5870faaba58d3aabbb2fbeb8603b490726a730815fa00477c0cc03a.jpg
it looks cool. just saying.

Can’t say deadpool duck is on the same level as Green Lantern, but i just don’t think any of these should be exclusive.
Then what, pray tell, should be exclusive, and why shouldn’t these?
Funny, they did pick out characters that are well suited to be exclusives, as they have every year. They design figures that people here want and are willing to stand in line for. Just because people outside want them badly too doesn’t mean they’re not especially suited to be fun and worthwhile rewards for spending a lot of money and time to get here.
A character from a Major motion picture (as the minifigure pictured above) and a character from the Legends of tomorrow TV show are well suited to be exclusives?? Your argument sounds extremely self serving. If you would like a figure to commemorate SDCC the figure on the left should be fine.
You, someone who doesn’t seem to attend the event, don’t get to decide what is and isn’t an appropriate figure to give away at the biggest comic convention in the world. Figures like these make the Lego experience worth while. I guarantee you that not as many people would do the lines if it were some generic figure every year. This works out better for Lego and for the attendees.
The “you don’t get to have an opinion because you’re not there” argument is terrible. That’s the kind of elitist bullcrap that eliminates these figures from ever seeing anyone’s collection who can’t afford thousands of dollars in expenses for the chance of getting one.
And at the same time, the figures they’re giving out don’t commemorate anything. What relationship does this figure have to do with the SDCC? Deadpool Duck is a comic series started in January of 2017. You’re commemorating your ability to pay more than other people to have something they don’t, not commemorating the experience of the con itself.
The rest of us not rich people are going to go buy this from China, something we’d probably rather not have to do. I’d rather not support knockoffs, but I’m unable to support Lego so that’s the closest thing.
Not trying to stop people from having opinions, it’s just, he literally doesn’t get to decide what figures get to be exclusives.
Getting exclusives here isn’t about commemorating an event. It’s about getting an exclusive experience people at home don’t get.
Nobody, not even people here are entitled to getting the figure. It’s just meant to be a fun exclusive experience. I’ve been lucky every year and I’ve had fun with the experience every year. So have a lot of other people.
You know, the people that matter at the event. The people that are here. Lego isn’t gonna restrict what they give out because people at home who aren’t here moan about it.
I think the issue is that people here want to support and enjoy Lego, and Lego itself is disallowing people from doing that. So a lot of people never like exclusives because we’re being eliminated from Lego by their own choices, when we actually want to be buying this stuff from them and not a knockoff company we don’t support.
I get that. I used to not get tickets for the Con, and I envied those who could get the exclusives. I do sympathize somewhat.
You are literally telling people their opinion is invalid.
Have fun at the convention.
That’s not the same thing.
Thanks, I’m having fun.
Literally _everyone_ gets to decide what is an appropriate minifig (if any) for SDCC. That’s even a constitutional right under the 1st Amendment if you’re in the US. We just don’t get to decide what minifig(s), if any, actually will get made.
And for the fact that they are losing money every time they hand out a minifig for free, any potential benefit they may glean from this promotion seems to be well and truly burned by the annual negative backlash against the whole sordid affair. But at least they finally got their collective heads out of the sand regarding how the people running their booth were rigging the giveaway in years past. If you’re attending SDCC by yourself, there’s a very good chance you would have been too old to “win” one of these if they were still using paper tickets to determine who got them.
And that’s an important issue that necessarily taints every single one of these promotions. When you let things get so out of hand that it takes a 3-part article (FBTB) to fully spell out just how corrupt the process had become by that point (and even they missed a few tricks), all the while protesting that, even in the face of overwhelming and very detailed eyewitness testimony, there’s no possible way the process could be rigged, it gives you a black eye that most companies would have to publicly apologize for to move past. And they haven’t, which just further taints the whole thing.
They can decide if they want to be upset about it but they don’t get to decide what is and isn’t an acceptable minifigure to give away, unless they’re Lego. Considering you’re not Lego, you literally have no say, just a lot of upset conplaining.
Well, really any commentary on Lego’s decision making is just complaining. Obviously no one else can directly affect the decisions Lego makes, unless you’re a company employee or a shareholder of notable importance. So technically even you liking their decision is just praise. But if Lego is willing to respond to the community, and as Allen said, read news sites like these in some way, the feedback of people is meaningful.
There’d be a noticeable difference if everyone, including people who will never see the figure, were outright supporting Lego’s decisions regarding this. The fact that people don’t and the topic remains controversial shows Lego that they haven’t hit an ideal point in which everyone is satisfied, and that there are potential improvements to their practices still. Complacency would make Lego assured of their position, and if people aren’t convinced that it’s the best practice Lego can come up with, they should voice it so Lego is aware of competing views.
It also helps Lego gauge which products are desirable. There was far less arguing and complaining about the other exclusive figure, at least here, so maybe it will tell Lego that they should consider fronting an actual mass market Deadpool Duck. If something is an exclusive and people are continually asking for it, they might produce sets later if the popularity is still there.
Also, I wish these comments sections handled large numbers of replies better. It’s getting somewhat difficult to sort out what posts are in reference to what other post, and whether the one below is a continuation of the comment chain.
They don’t have to please everybody, just the people that are here. Yeah,it’s elitist, whatever, but it’s true
I don’t mean to be rude. The fact is, how you distribute event exclusives is not going to change because people who aren’t there want it a different way.
You never know. Nothing ever got changed by people doing nothing.
If it becomes enough bad PR for them, I’m sure they’ll change things. They already did over the massively corrupt process by which these have been given out in the past, though even the current system doesn’t seem to prohibit the person running the giveaway from just handing them out to friends or anyone who slips a Benjamin under the table. If anyone ever gets mugged, or worse, murdered, over one of these, that might have a stronger impact on their decision than an internet full of complaints.
I doubt they could be bribed. There are extra set of eyes watching the line and screens. I’ve even seen people try to go through the BrickHeadz line twice and they got kicked out.
The people on the floor, maybe. But those minifigs have to be stored somewhere prior to the giveaway. If they’re not tracking exactly how many are awarded to attendees, there’s no way to guarantee that a box doesn’t fall off the back of the truck every now and then. Someone is in charge of all of that, and _someone_ got their hands on a massive bag full of the Collector a day before they even started giving him out. That’s got to be some under-the-table dealing there, and at a higher level than the people who were holding the tickets to hand out to attendees. Anything for upcoming days would probably be locked up somewhere (I mean, imagine the PR disaster they’d have if someone managed to just walk off with an entire run of one of these minifigs because they left the boxes out in the open).
But this is a fair system and they make sure everyone has an equal chance. No need for change.
To decide what actually gets released and when, you need to have a specific job within The LEGO Company. That, I don’t have, so I’m not the one making that decision.
To decide what is and is not appropriate, all that’s required is an opinion on the subject. People have differing opinions on whether or not it’s appropriate to make fleshie vs yellow minifigs, “violent” themes, licensed themes, themes that The LEGO Company has no interest in ever making (like WWII), minidolls, and anything else you can think of.
And considering where most of these end up, by your logic eBay would have more right to say what SDCC minifigs should and should not be produced than even you. As someone who has actually bought five SDCC minifigs off eBay, would you still argue that I have less right to say what’s appropriate for an SDCC minifig than you?
Since you keep paying scalpers, you don’t really get to complain that these are too hard to get or they shouldn’t be exclusive. You seem to have no problem getting them. You (well, not you, but someone else) can complain that you don’t like them being exclusive but they can’t say for a fact that they shouldn’t be exclusive or that Lego shouldn’t do exclusives.
The first three SDCC minifigs that I bought were 2x Batman and 1x Green Lantern about a month before the 2012 minifigs were announced. At the time, I’d been waffling over the price, but finally decided that they weren’t likely to get any cheaper, and they were taking too long announcing what set they’d be included in. I ended up paying $50 per minifig. A month later they were starting at $300.
The other two I bought were Zur-En-Arrh Batman, which just about broke my budget at the time (I’d just come off of building a 5000+ piece MOC and attending Brickworld). But LEGO Batman is my thing, and even a good repro on authentic LEGO parts isn’t going to cut it (I won’t even touch the Chinese stuff). I’m still trying to figure out how to get the stupid Bat-Pod set, and keeping up with all of the SDCC DC characters is not something I can justify. I mean, if that was the only thing I cared about, I supposed I could make it work, but I’d probably have to give up on MOCs or Brickworld. Having had two SDCC Batmen in only seven years, I actually hate the wait for the announcement because there’s always that chance that they’ll hit me with another one.
So, still feel like regulating who can and cannot voice their displeasure with the whole SDCC minifig program? Maybe now you can admit that it’s a terrible program? Or at the very least, concede that, since you’re not here in my living room, attending Purple-Con, you really don’t get to decide what’s inappropriate for me to express my displeasure over? I mean, sure, you can still complain about it, but since you’re not the one actually making the decisions and all that…
It’s a wonderful program that’s so much fun for everyone who attends. My friends who’d never been to a con before loved it. It’s not going anywhere
Again. The problem is how exclusive these are. Nothing Stops LEGO from putting these at every major convention in the world for more availability. They choose to only do it at the SD Hollywood corpfest.. err ‘Comicon’, and only for the masses that can afford to shell out huge sums of money to go there to get a chance to get the figures. LEGO is also apparently willfully blind to the fact their promotional “thank you’s” to fans’ are nothing more than a product to listed on eBay that night by many to be sold to offset the exorbitant Con costs for the one major con once a year.
If LEGO really wanted to thank fans, then they should have booths at every major Con and offer the promos there too. Does this mean that EVERYONE gets a shot? No I get that. However, it would still make them much more available to the actual fans that want the figures, but cannot afford to shell out 1000’s to get to SDCC, or pay 100’s get them on eBay. A thank you promo should not be restricted to 100 and only at the one majorly expensive Con in the world.
It’s not about thanking fans, it’s about rewarding those that came out and won a raffle.
I seriously hope you are being sarcastic.
I’m not. That’s literally how these work.
It’s really too bad the way exclusives work. At least this isn’t a figure that has wide knowledge even by people outside of the comic world. I’ll credit Lego with the Green Lantern figure though because it came out in a set later anyway.
If all of Lego’s convention exclusives were early access figures that would be comic (hehe) out a few years down the line, that would actually be really neat. A few people would get a rare, early edition of a figure, but it would give the rest of us knowledge that something like it would be coming later and we wouldn’t be permanently eliminated from the chance of having a super hero or other character.
SDCC Green Lantern did not get released in a set. Yeah, GL and Batman did get a second drop at NYCC, and the fact that everyone expected them to see a retail release kept the prices low enough that you could still score them online for as low as $50 right up until the 2012 minifigs were announced. But SDCC GL was based on the Ryan Reynolds movie, while the regular Hal Jordan GL is more like his original Silver Age comic book appearance. The upcoming John Stewart GL looks similar to the retail GL, while featuring noticeably different color blocking on the costume. The SDCC GL actually looks really out of place next to the other two, with a super complex pattern printed on a green/dk-green costume vs the fairly minimalistic designs on black/green with the other two. Also, the logo on the SDCC version has a yellow lantern emblem, where the other two are white.
To date, the only decorated Comic-Con minifig elements that have ever shown up in retail are as follows:
1. NYCC Superman is reportedly just the 2012 minifig with special packaging, but this was never given out at SDCC (Batman and GL were given out at both SDCC and NYCC)
2. Symbiote Spiderman’s torso was reused for every Venom release, but the printed head is still unique.
3. Azog was an unannounced handout that was reportedly just given to kids on the convention floor, but which was not part of the drawings like all the DC/Marvel minifigs. Later that year a Hobbit set was unveiled that had the exact same minifig, but cost about $1700 less.
4. The year they did one each for DC/Marvel/TLM/Hobbit, Bard was the only one of the four giveaway minifigs whose packaging did not sport an “SDCC Exclusive” bug, and we had already seen that the exact same minifig would be in an upcoming Hobbit set due out later that same year.
That’s it. All of the other printed heads, torsos, legs, and even some unprinted elements (like Zur-En-Arh Batman’s dark-purple cowl), are all exclusive to the SDCC minifig lineup.
Great exclusive! Hope I get it.
Got it.

Is it able to turn right side up in that packaging? I’d guess it would be, but I’m bad at spacial reasoning and it would be sad if it couldn’t be righted.
Yes, since the clamshell is not sealed and can be opened and closed.
It can be but it’s so small it falls to its side
