It's finally San Diego Comic Con time. While this would normally mean all kinds of fun announcements from television and movie studios, things will look different at this year's convention. But one thing that isn't changing are the exclusives! Let's take a peek at some of the coolest SDCC 2023 convention exclusives.

NECA's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III Figure Set $150

Ever since Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird introduced the turtles in a half shell, kids and adults alike have been collecting this series. The trilogy of movies in the early 1990s made TMNT a pop culture phenomenon with no signs of slowing down. There's even a new movie - Mutant Mayhem - hitting theaters this August. But NECA is throwing back to 1993 when TMNT III was released. In this movie, we see our four heroes dress in more traditional samurai gear during the movie.

These figures will be for sale at the NECA booth (#3545) and will retail for $150.

Kidrobot's Nautical Edition Sailor M Vinyl Figure $60

In 1928, entertainment and pop culture changed forever with the release of Steamboat Willie, Walt Disney's cartoon features synchronized sound and music, this cartoon would catapult the Disney empire into what it is today. While Mickey himself is not yet 100 years old, Disney Animation is 100 as of this year -- and everyone is celebrating in their own way.

This 8-inch vinyl figure was designed by Pasa and released via Kidrobot, and features Mickey in a blue and gold sailor outfit.

There are only 300 of these available, so if you want one for yourself be sure to visit booth #2846 this weekend.

Loungefly Soundwave Mini Backpack ($125) and Jurassic Park Glow in the Dark Mini Backpack ($90)

Loungefly bags have become a big collector's item within the collectors' circle. Certain bags become hot pieces, going for double than their original retail price. Loungefly has taken note and released a handful of limited edition bags for SDCC each year.

This year's bags include a highly detailed Transformers Soundwave mini backpack and a glow-in-the-dark Jurassic Park mini backpack. Both are standout pieces and will likely become two hot collector's items. Loungefly uses vegan leather, and as someone who does own a few, they are made well and will last you for years.

You can find Loungefly's entire SDCC collection at booth #5149 in the Funkoville campus.

Mattel Monster High Freak Du Chic Draculara Figure $75

Monster High dolls have been extremely popular with kids and adults alike for over 10 years now. Generation 1 dolls can go for serious money, as do limited edition dolls. This year for SDCC, Mattel is releasing this beautiful Freak Du Chic Draculara doll.

This stunningly detailed doll can be displayed right-side up or upside down in her display box. Draculara has a retail price of $75, and can be found at the Mattel booth (#2945).

Yesterdays Enamel Pins Prices Vary 

Yesterdays has been releasing special SDCC enamel pins for years, with many becoming unique collectors pieces. Enamel pins are fun to collect, and they can be displayed easily (or stored easily). Plus, for $10 each, these enamel pins are surprisingly affordable compared to many of the collectibles out there.

This year Yesterdays is celebrating Batman, with a Keaton enamel pin, and a limited-run Toy Car (it's the Batmobile) pin. Each one is only $10, but the Toy Car is limited to 200 pieces. You can find this, and the rest of their pins, at booth 1028.
