When it comes to San Diego Comic-Con exclusives, it doesn’t get bigger than Hasbro. With license to manufacture toys that are consistently at the top of the pop culture want list, this booth is always one of the craziest and has broken the spirits of more SDCC attendees than the Hall H line ever has. That said, if you want the best in Marvel, Star Wars, Transformers, My Little Pony, or the rest of these lines, you must commit to the Hasbro exclusive war.
Take a look at what will be bringing many tears of joy and frustration to this year’s Comic-Con:
[UPDATE July 1]

This year, attendees can pick up an Obi-Wan Kenobi set, which also features the emergency hologram from Princess Leia (and the table features an embedded light to make her appear to glow). The figure also comes equipped with two lightsabers, and will retail for $44.99.

Polygon has the exclusive on a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive: a new Yo-Kai Watch Jewelnyan Set, which features a vinyl Dianyan figure and five exclusive Jewelnyan Yo-kai medals. It all interacts with Hasbro’s Yo-Kai Watch (sold separately), to unlock the character so players can recruit him to their team. According to Polygon, “This version combines the ghost cat with a diamond; there are several bejeweled re-skins, each of whom are represented on medals included with the toy”. It will retail for $29.99.
