BIGGEST ENTERTAINMENT STORIES<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n
\n

There wasn’t much announced in the world of entertainment news. We usually get most of the breaking news and trailers starting on Friday, but some studios did give us some nuggets to whet the appetite.<\/p>\n

The CW and DC Entertainment announced that Batwoman will be getting her own television show, spinning off her debut in the big Arrowverse crossover event. Speaking of the annual crossover, DC’s\u00a0Legends of Tomorrow<\/em> will not get an episode in the crossover in the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

On the outside of the convention center, there are various activations set up for visitors to experience upcoming television shows and movies. The biggest one is the Jack Ryan<\/em> experience from Amazon Prime. There’s a helicopter perched on a fake building and all kinds of military-type obstacles for people to make their way through. The Walking Dead<\/em> and DC’s new DC Universe have activations around the convention center as well.<\/p>\n

Not to be outdone, Entertainment Earth will have an Infinity Gauntlet Thanos playset set up in our booth, featuring figures from the Pin Mates\u2122 sets.<\/p>\n

COLLECTIBLE NEWS<\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

Everyone uses Preview Night to grab collectibles before they sell out… and they will<\/em> sell out. This year,\u00a0Entertainment Earth has\u00a0some of the best and most exciting exclusives for collectors:<\/p>\n

In our booth, you’ll find three different DC Artists Alley Batman Figures by Chris Uminga.<\/p>\n

Making its SDCC debut is the Infinity Gauntlet Pin Mates\u2122 set of 16 figures – all your favorite Marvel characters from the\u00a0The Infinity Gauntlet<\/em>\u00a0comic book that inspired this year’s blockbuster smash,\u00a0Avengers: Infinity War<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For those Power Rangers<\/em> fans in attendance, the exclusive Space Psycho Silver Ranger is a must-have that will sell quickly.<\/p>\n

If Voltron<\/em> is more your thing, the Voltron 5-piece action figure gift set is perfect and also an SDCC Exclusive.<\/p>\n
