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.
- Spoke Art has spoken. Say hi to Dave Perillo on Saturday 2pm-3pm at booth #4900.
- 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.

Come for Machete, but stay for the giveaway Ultraduck pin for all attendees.

- 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.
- This might be the droid you’re looking for. If you’re attending SDCC Saturday AND Sunday (not July 26 OR 27 but July 26 AND 27): The Imperial Sands Garrison of the 501st Legion is hosting a Droid Hunt on Saturday with prizes being awarded on Sunday. Read the full instructions on Facebook.
- Veve! If you’re into Veve, then you already know what’s up. If you’re not into Veve but you do like comic book exclusive variants, then check these out over at Veve’s takeover of the ECG Vault Gallery (530 6th Avenue, San Diego) on Friday, July 25. Veve? Veve!
- Finally, congratulations to Unbox Industries for making the cutoff! Now, allow them to try to cut you off from your money with two GodzillaVerse SDCC exclusives, both available at Creature Bazaar/DKE Booth #2643:
- Unbox and Toho are bringing a GITD version of the 1954 Godzilla as designed by the legendary Japanese design group MDA (Mash Dream Art) for $85.
