The article below was originally posted on March 11 — AKA about a week before the dark days started and every single convention center boarded up its walls.
Instead of holding onto its exclusives until next year, PopMinded will make them available during the pandemic-equivalent of fun at the online ComicCon@Home event next week and in October at New York Comic Con if there is not a Sharknado hurtling toward Manhattan at that point.
Fans can find the PopMinded exhibitor page on Comic-Con International’s website starting at 9 a.m. PDT on July 22. Just click the link to any of the exclusives shown to try to secure it as yours. Members of the Keepsake Ornament Club will still have a chance to get their hands on a small number of collectibles later on this year.
Check out what will be available at Comic-Con@Home in the video below and the full post below for more details — or if you want to cry slightly.
The latest convention exclusives in Hallmark’s PopMinded collection have us already packing our bags for San Diego (Update: This one hurts).
The Harry Potter, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Deadpool collectibles will be available at Comic-Con International: San Diego (SDCC) and New York Comic Con (NYCC). Select items will also be available at Planet Comicon Kansas City, Star Wars Celebration, and Star Trek Convention.
And, yes — that The Child enamel pin pictured above is part of the release, too! It will cost $8 and be sold at most of the events listed above, with limited daily allotments. Check out the rest of the exclusive items below.
Imperial Probe Droid Keepsake Ornament | $35
This is the ornament you’re looking for: Star Wars fans can celebrate the holidays with this metal rendition of the reconnaissance droid. Limited to 3,200 pieces, this droid honors the 40th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back.
Tribble Keepsake Ornament | $25
Featured in the Star Trek episode “The Trouble with Tribbles,” these fuzzy, little aliens found their way into our hearts. Now with this ornament — limited to 3,350 pieces — they can find their way onto our Christmas trees. The ornament is made with a different material and color than its 2019 predecessor.
Deadpool itty bitty | $10
Size really doesn’t matter. The mutant mercenary becomes an adorable antihero with this collectible that is limited to 2,500 pieces.
Professor Boggart Snape Keepsake Ornament | $25
Always keep this reminder of the iconic Prisoner of Azkaban scene with you during the holiday season. Neville Longbottom pictured his biggest fear — Severus Snape — in his grandmother’s clothes to defeat the boggart, and now 3,350 fans can cherish the moment forever.
Fans not heading to any cons don’t need to fear missing out on these exclusive items. A very limited number of the collectible ornaments will be available for sale to members of the Keepsake Ornament Club, according to Hallmark. It’s also possible that any inventory leftover might go up for sale on PopMinded’s website, the company says.
