This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Marvel is centrally located in the Exhibit Hall as per usual, and they’ve updated the props and costumes on display daily thus far, so this is the third feature in this series. The photos further below are as the exhibit appeared on Friday, and feature Thor costumes as worn by Chris Hemsworth as well as his Mjolnir and Stormbreaker hammers from his appearances in Thor, Thor: The Dark World, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Infinity War. Also see Wednesday/Part 1 with Iron Man, Thursday/Part 2 with Captain America and Part 4/Saturday “Women” & Part 5/Sunday “Villains”. [Read more…]
San Diego Comic-Con 2018: Marvel Entertainment Thursday/Part 2 “Captain America” Costume Exhibit
This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Marvel is centrally located in the Exhibit Hall as per usual, though the exhibit space had original costume pieces up front and in a case this year, which is a departure from their usual open air displays up on the stage. I suspected Marvel might have more up their sleeve than what appeared on exhibit on Preview Night on Wednesday – Iron Man costumes – and stated if they added more as the convention went on, I would update that original article. On Thursday, they added an example of each of the Captain America costumes seen in the related films, and I took so many photos I thought it would be better to publish a second dedicated feature. This one shows the Captain America costumes worn by Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Avengers: Infinity War. UPDATE Also see Wednesday/Part 1 with Iron Man, Friday/Part 3 with Thor and Part 4/Saturday “Women” & Part 5/Sunday “Villains”. [Read more…]
San Diego Comic-Con 2018: Profiles in History Movie Props and Costumes Exhibit Showcases Future Auction Highlights
This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Profiles in History has been exhibiting at Comic-Con for many, many years, and on exhibit were movie props for the most part, from an as yet to be announced live auction. The pieces ticked the boxes of many of their favorite franchises – Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Terminator, X-Men, Wizard of Oz, etc. [Read more…]
San Diego Comic-Con 2018: Prop Store TV & Movie Props and Costumes Exhibit Promotes Upcoming Live Auction
This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Prop Store continues to put together impressive exhibits at Comic Con, and 2018 might be their best yet. Most of the space in 2018 is dedicated to their “Treasures From Film and Television” live auction in London on September 20th. Also on display are some masks from their current online exclusive Power Rangers auction. [Read more…]
San Diego Comic-Con 2018: Marvel Entertainment Wednesday/Part 1 “Iron Man” Costume Exhibit
This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2018. Marvel is centrally located in the Exhibit Hall as per usual, though the exhibit space had original costume pieces up front and in a case this year, which is a departure from their usual open air displays up on the stage. But knowing Marvel, they do have a tendency to change things up each day and there may be more coming (and if that is the case, this feature will be updated). This year on display as of Preview Night, they had an Iron Man Mark I costume from the original Iron Man as well as a helmet and civilian costume worn by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) in Avengers: Infinity War. UPDATE also see Thursday/Part 2 with Captain America, Friday/Part 3 with Thor and Part 4/Saturday “Women” & Part 5/Sunday “Villains”. [Read more…]

San Diego Comic-Con 2017: Marvel Entertainment Costume Exhibits (#SDCC #Marvel #MarvelEntertainment)
This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2017. Marvel continue to have one of the most disappointing exhibitor spaces (in the context of who they are and what Comic-Con should be). I ripped Marvel Entertainment pretty hard in sharing my thoughts on their exhibitor space in 2016, and 2017 is just more of the same. Marvel (“Disney-owned Marvel”?) has become a giant IP that puts all of its emphasis on its awesome movies and little else. [Read more…]
San Diego Comic Con 2013: Original TV & Movie Props and Costumes on Display and Exhibit
This is actually the lightest year in some time for original props and costumes on display at Comic Con International: San Diego, apart from the usual showing by Profiles in History and Prop Store. Nothing from Disney this year (who usually exhibit every other year) and much of what is on display is material from films not yet released. [Read more…]
