Under the Tents 2025: StylinBoxes, Danny Trejo, Veve, Comic-Con: The Cruise, Kevin Smith Hall H Friday

With absolutely no regrets whatsoever, I am announcing this will be the final edition of Under the Tents 2025. Our team will still be updating other posts as news trickles in over the next few days – ANY DAY NOW, MARVEL BOOTH – but this will be the last roundup of the “best of the rest.” We’ve all got the same place to be in a few days. Let’s just get there, already.

As always, if you didn’t miss any of these, please consider joining our team:

  • If at least one of your fandoms doesn’t have an officially licensed StylinBoxes mystery box, then what are we doing? Find StylinBoxes all over the Exhibit Hall (StylinBoxes is at booths 415, 900, 5029, 5545, 5621) and look out in particular this year for Voltron, Dragon Ball Z, and Power Rangers boxes.

  • Get exposed to Lucio Parrillo’s Marvel Swimsuit Special #1 SDCC Exclusive at ComicXposure booth #2302.

  • Any San Diego Comic-Con where Danny Trejo graces us with his presence is a good one. Machete himself will be on hand for Arcana Studio Presents: Ultraduck with Danny Trejo on Thursday, July 24 from 3pm-4 pm in Room 32AB. Come for Machete, but stay for the giveaway Ultraduck pin for all attendees.

  • Luann turns 40 this year, so celebrate that Luanniversary with a limited edition Puddles figurine created by Tony Newman and signed by Luann creator Greg Evans. Snag one for $200 at National Cartoonists Society Booth #1307.

  • More originals coming from JYK All Day. Well, maybe. Possibly. Neat!

  • Grab an exclusive Droppp digital sticker (two rarities!) at Funko Booth #5341 and be entered in a Digital Pop! pack giveaway. If you want. You don’t have to.

  • OH MY GOD, BADALI JEWELRY IS HAVING A FIRE…. sale. Get 30% off during Preview Night at Booth #715 or online, or 15% online Thursday-Sunday.

  • SpooksbieBoo (Booth #2748) will have two LE100 Coraline Moonlight Adventure exclusives: An enamel pin (glitter variant available) for $15 and a shirt (XS-4XL available) for $35.
  • Comic-Con: The Cruise will cruise (whatever, get over it) into Booth #4021 with free pins, a prize wheel (you can win a free cruise for two!), and more. CC:TC is also cruising (get over it) to Room 25ABC on Thursday, July 24, 2pm-3pm to present a panel on Expanding the Comic-Con Experience. Panelists include CC:TC cruise director Jessica Gasparolo along with SDCC mainstays Felicia Day, Robb Pearlman, Amanda Conner, and Jimmy Palmiotti.

  • On Fat Man Beyond, Kevin Smith revealed he will be moderating Friday’s (July 25) Predator: Badlands (4:15pm-5:15pm) and Tron: Ares (5:30pm-6:30pm) Hall H panels. Trust me, I briefly looked at the automatically generated transcript, so it’s true.Fat Man Beyond

  • One last James Silvani original art preview for the road. Remember: 5×7″ for $60, 9×12″ starting at $140. Got it?

  • Come get your Tron-themed #foodporn at Grant Grill at the US Grant hotel (326 Broadway) from Tuesday-Sunday (July 22-27).

  • You can count on three things from the Her Universe Fashion Show: Ashley Eckstein will host, there is going to be a constant stream of amazing outfits on the runway, and there will be a gift bag for all attendees. This year, Lug is paying for the privilege of all that sweet, sweet brand exposure that comes with a stream of attendees dispersing out of the Manchester Grand Hyatt carrying the same thing.
