SDCC: Abin Sur, Put On Some Pants
 |
?SDCC officially begins today. A few things I’ve noticed:
? You’re not getting any exclusive toys without standing in line for at least a couple of hours.
? No one is buying that 19-inch Galactus figure. They’re buying 3-10 Galactus figures. No one is carrying just one.
? There’s not much on the show floor in terms of really cool exhibits, although Warner Bros.’ did bring the corpse of Abin Sur from the Green Lantern movie, above. The movie seems really into exposed muscle. Also, Abin Sur is not wearing pants. What the hell was he doing that he was nude when he crashed his spaceship on Earth? I probably don’t want to know.
