Get the drop on the hottest new collectibles — literally! At this year’s New York Comic Con (NYCC), YuMe Toys is debuting an all-new, interactive way to shop its mystery exclusives: the Smart Machine.

The Smart Machine isn’t just any regular vending machine. Instead of snacks, the Smart Machine dispenses YuMe’s must-have surprise boxes, from Sanrio plushies and Star Wars bobbleheads to Spider-Man dioramas. And the best part? Every pull is a winner! Fans can be among the first to shop the machine at The Pop Insider’s booth (No. 1829). 

The machine contains both YuMe’s coveted collectibles and its new, never-before-seen con exclusives. Among the limited-edition lineup are new series of Cosbi bobbleheads inspired by the latest blockbusters, such as stylized Squid Game figures, galactic Grogu goodies, and fan-favorite Marvel heroes, each riding to the rescue on their iconic hot rods. To take your display to another dimension, fans can collect dynamic dioramas of scenes from Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, from Miguel O’Hara chasing villains through the multiverse to the hilarious three-Spidey “Finger Pointing” meme. 

If you prefer Cinnamoroll to superheroes, you can collect plush, vinyl-faced charms of your favorite Sanrio characters in a variety of colorful styles, including the Blue Flutter Series, My Melody Adorable Bunny Series, and Hello Kitty Koi Series. For an extra sweet surprise, unbox the Snack Cart Series! Featuring eight figures to find, each character sits atop a playful grocery trolley that zips, swerves, and zooms with the help of built-in sensors.  

Which adorable surprise will you discover? Try your hand at YuMe Toys’ Smart Machines all weekend long at The Pop Insider at Booth No. 1829.
