The good: Marvel Universe and GI Joe 30th Anniversary offerings. I can't wait to get my dirty mits on these. Unlike the 25th anniversary Joes, however, I won't be keeping a duplicate of each toy MOC, just because I was all about the 80's cardbacks. Still, the figures themselves are amazing. Lifeline? Oh heck yes.

The bad: DC. Pretty much everything they showed fell flat for me. They have such a great cast of characters, yet somehow companies like Mattel still fumble at the goal line, if you know what I mean.

The ugly: Not really a part of SDCC, since it ends on Sunday, but Hasbro Toy Shop always finds a way to leave a bad taste in peoples' mouths at the end of SDCC. It's like having a great weekend party, only to find out Monday morning that some dude pissed in the fruit punch that everyone drank from. The debacle that is the buying of exclusives on HTS never ceases to amaze me. For me, surprisingly, this year it was fine, but for 99% of collectors, it sucked. Hence the UH-gly.
