The entertainment news website IGN has exclusively revealed Nickelodeon's fantastic array of SDCC products that lucky SDCC 2015 attendees will be able to find from Nickelodeon at SDCC, from prints to figures to t-shirts. Check them all out below!
"Avatar: The Last Airbender" & "The Legend of Korra":
While "The Legend of Korra" has sadly come to an end, there will still be brand-new items available for the many loyal fans of both that series and its predecessor, "Avatar: The Last Airbender". A new print from "Avatar"/"Korra" co-creator Bryan Konietzko titled “Avatar Generations” depicts both Avatar Aang and Avatar Korra. The sepia print juxtaposes Korra and Aang, representing their connection in the cycle of Avatars:
"I hope it warms your hearts as so many of you have warmed mine and Mike's!" Konietzko writes.
This will be the first year "The Legend of Korra" has no official panel presence at San Diego Comic-Con since 2011, when Konietzko and DiMartino promoted the show at the massive convention for the first time. However, a fan panel is scheduled to take place, and between the merchandise and cosplay that always populates the convention, the world of "Avatar" is certain to be proudly represented at SDCC.
Also available at SDCC will be a 12" pre-painted PVC figure of Republic City's most indomitable Chief of Police, Lin Beifong. The figure is designed and created by ZWYER Industries, a company run by "The Legend of Korra" director Melchior Zwyer and "Avatar" artist Alan Wan.
"The Legend of Korra" co-creator Bryan Konietzko expressed his admiration for the Lin figure, which had input from many members of the crew of the hit Nickelodeon animated series.
"The sculpt was based on a pose drawn by Lauren Montgomery and Christie Tseng," Konietzko writes. "I did a few rounds of notes on the sculpt, and they did a stellar job."
Fans who can't make it to San Diego Comic-Con can hold on to other opportunities for figures like Lin.
"Look out for more amazing stuff coming from Zwyer Industries and us in the future," Konietzko teases.
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles":
There will be several new TMNT items available, looking at different incarnations of the heroes in a half shell.
Based on the current toy line and animated series, the Playmates 11" Metal Mutant Leonardo will depict Leo in a special costume.
The leader of the Turtles also gets the focus with a new 8" Loyal Subjects Jumbo Leonardo.
Lastly, all four Turtles are depicted in their red-masked glory in the 3” Loyal Subjects Original Comic 4Pak, which is based on how the group looked in the early Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics.
"Power Rangers":
While the Bandai Red Ranger Armored Might Figure is available at retail stores, Nickelodeon will offer a special version autographed by the current Red Ranger, "Power Rangers Dino Charges" star Brennan Mejia.
After 20 years of "Power Rangers" action and excitement, fans can return to the beginning with this original "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" Megazord. This limited edition Legacy Megazord with premium diecast parts will be available to conventioneers at the Toys"R"Us booth and online shoppers in black and gold. This item will become available at Toys"R"Us stores later this year.
There will also be a 6ft tall Red Ranger from "Power Rangers Dino Charge" at the Nickelodeon booth for photo opportunities - Sorry, you can't buy this one!
