It was announced yesterday during Comic-Con that Freddy Krueger would be the newest DLC character for the Mortal Kombat game! The horror fan in me is screaming like a little kid in a candy shop right about now.

Mimobot have announced some new products:

I suppose because of the amount of Hello Kitty purses and credit cards that I own, this is where my friends assume I’ll jump all over the HK flash drives… but no no. What I really want is the Han Solo with the carbonite case!

Now’s your chance!!!

Showtime is holding a sweepstakes on Twitter to win a life-sized Dexter. This is great home decor if you ask me. Click here for a direct link to the sweepstakes page.

Twihards have been lining up since late Monday/early Tuesday for Thursday’s Breaking Dawn panel. Yes, you read that right. That wasn’t a typo. Fans of the saga have been camping out in the hot summer sun for that long… and someone took some video of it:

Regardless of my personal opinions on waiting in line for that long for anything, a part of me has to give it to ‘em for being that diehard about something.

What’s the longest you’ve waited in line for something, be it a panel or release?

Comic-Con is notorious for holding advanced screenings for upcoming movies and TV shows. This year, it seems the big one is Marvel’s Captain America.

The movie will be airing all day starting at 12 Noon this Thursday, July 21st, which is one day before it hits theaters worldwide. Captain American will be playing exclusively at the UA Horton Plaza. Tickets are available via Fandango.com. The show times available are as follows: 12:00 P.M., 12:45 P.M., 2:45 P.M., 3:30 P.M., 5:30 P.M., 6:15 P.M., 8:15 P.M., 9:00 P.M., 11:00 P.M. and 11:45 P.M.

Ticketholders will also receive RealD® 3D Collector’s Custom red, white and blue Captain America: The First Avenger glasses and a limited edition poster designed for fans. There will also be a “grand prize package” of Captain America merch and other Marvel items that will be given away to a random audience member at each and every screening.

According to the press release, USO-costumed women will also be standing at the American Flag Pole in the Horton Plaza passing out free tickets every hour beginning at 11:00 A.M. to the first 10 people who come dressed as Captain America.

Aside from all of that, there will also be an exclusive free fan screening hosted by Paramount and Marvel at 10am with Chris Evans introducing the screening. The press release didn’t really say HOW one gets into that one, but I would assume you just kind of show up, wait, and hope you get in.

Here is one of Hasbro’s Comic-Con exclusive this year– a Spider-Man Mighty Mugg with removable mask! This will be available at their booth.

Well, well, well. What do we have here? It looks like Cirque du Soleil are bringing KA to Comic-Con this year! I’ve seen KA in Vegas before and it was probably one of my favorite Vegas shows I’ve seen yet. I’m curious to see how they’re going to pull it off at SDCC.

“KÀ by Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas will make its first appearance at Comic-Con on opening night, Thursday, July 21st, with a dramatic showdown on the outside walls of PETCO Park in San Diego. This outdoor performance will take place directly across the street from the San Diego Convention Center and will include a display of dazzling 3-D projections. Created especially for Comic-Con, the performance will tell the adventurous tale of KÀ by turning the stadium façade into an interactive performance space featuring 3-D projections and live artists.

The audience will get a bird’s-eye view of a fierce battle pitting the Imperial Twins of KÀ and their allies against an enemy warrior tribe as the scene plays out on the surface of a 90-foot high vertical stage.”

It’s that time of year again where everyone starts revealing what their Comic-Con exclusives are going to be and where I start feeling like it’s Christmas time.

Here are a few of my favorites that I’ve seen pop up:

Ghostbusters™ Stay Puft Marshmallow Man ($70)

“Stay Puft is the largest item ever made by Mattel and sold at SDCC, standing at over 20″ tall! Our favorite squishy villain is made from soft foam and features articulation at the arms, head and legs. A huge city diorama is included in the packaging – perfect for displaying your entire Ghostbusters collection!”

Presale vouchers will be on sale Monday, July 11th at 9am PST on www.mattycollector.com.

Sideshow Collectibles’ 12-Inch Clone Commander ($94.99)

Already sold out for attendees, but you can still pre-order here.

A box of awesomeness is what this is.
