In this exciting episode of Pixel Dan Toy Hunts, join Pixel Dan as he embarks on an epic vintage toy hunting adventure at the legendary San Diego Comic-Con! Known for its unparalleled gathering of pop culture enthusiasts, collectors, and vendors, SDCC is the ultimate destination for finding rare and nostalgic treasures. Get ready to dive into a treasure trove of vintage action figures, spanning iconic lines like Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Street Fighter G.I. Joe, LJN Wrestling Superstars, and many more!
Star Wars: A Galaxy of Nostalgia
Pixel Dan's hunt kicks off with a deep dive into one of the most beloved and influential toy lines of all time: Star Wars. From the moment Kenner released the first Star Wars action figures in 1978, these 3.75-inch figures have become a cornerstone of the toy collecting world. Dan scours the SDCC show floor, searching for classic figures like Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and the rare Boba Fett with the infamous rocket-firing prototype. Whether it's the original 12-back carded figures, the elusive Blue Snaggletooth, or vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, Dan uncovers some true gems that transport us back to a galaxy far, far away.
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero
Next, Dan sets his sights on another iconic toy line that captured the imaginations of kids in the 1980s: G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. Launched by Hasbro in 1982, this line redefined action figures with its 3.75-inch scale, incredible articulation, and diverse cast of characters. Dan's hunt includes classic figures like Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Duke, as well as vehicles like the Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank and the Skystriker jet. He also comes across rare gems such as the Sears-exclusive Dreadnok Ground Assault and classic playsets like the U.S.S. Flagg aircraft carrier. Whether you're a fan of Cobra or the Joes, this segment is sure to spark some serious nostalgia.
Street Fighter G.I. Joes: A Crossover Sensation
As Dan continues his hunt, he stumbles upon a unique crossover line that combined the worlds of G.I. Joe and Street Fighter. In the early 1990s, Hasbro introduced the Street Fighter G.I. Joe line, capitalizing on the popularity of Capcom's arcade hit. These figures merged the articulation and playability of G.I. Joe with the vibrant characters of Street Fighter, bringing iconic fighters like Ryu, Guile, and M. Bison into the G.I. Joe universe. Dan highlights some of the standout figures from this line, discussing their unique designs, accessories, and the impact they had on both G.I. Joe and Street Fighter fans alike.
LJN Wrestling Superstars: The Golden Era of Wrestling Toys
Dan's hunt wouldn't be complete without exploring the world of wrestling action figures, and at SDCC, he finds a treasure trove of LJN Wrestling Superstars. These 8-inch rubber figures were a staple of the 1980s, capturing the larger-than-life personas of WWF legends like Hulk Hogan, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, and Andre the Giant. Unlike the articulated figures of today, LJN's Wrestling Superstars were known for their solid construction and iconic poses, making them perfect for recreating classic wrestling matches. Dan takes us through the history of this line, showcasing some of the rarest figures, including the elusive Big Boss Man and the ultra-rare Black Card variants.
And Much More!
But the hunt doesn't stop there! SDCC is packed with surprises, and Dan uncovers even more vintage treasures, from Mego superheroes to Masters of the Universe, Thundercats, and beyond. Every corner of the convention holds the potential for an amazing find, and Dan's enthusiasm is infectious as he shares his discoveries with fellow collectors and fans.
Whether you're a seasoned collector or new to the world of vintage toys, this episode of Pixel Dan Toy Hunts at San Diego Comic-Con is a must-watch. Packed with nostalgia, rare finds, and expert insights, it's a celebration of the toys that shaped our childhoods and continue to inspire collectors today. So grab your popcorn, sit back, and join Pixel Dan on this unforgettable toy hunting adventure!

What did I find Toy Federation's NEW BACK ROOM Toy Hunting!?
I love that the Mighty Crusaders are getting love. Most people don't know that if not for them, some of your favorite heroes might not exist. I mean The Shield is part of the reason Captain America's shield is round.
Speaking of Kenner Aliens. Did Neca Cancel their kenner line? I was really liking those.
I always viewed Rock and Bugs and Things as an offshoot of the Rock Lords' home planet when I was a kid. Tracking them down has been insane these days but I found one at a toy store for $12
Best part of that McDonalds play set is that every brand is making Little People. I saw Transformers at Target, Ninja Turtles and MOTU I think can be found online.
Dude 200 bucks for both Mutagen Man and Muck Man is an absolute steal. I would have not felt bad making that purchase at all
On those Mighty Max sets I had the Snake and Skull, absolutely loved playing with them and loved the show
That strongheart dungeons and dragons ljn figures was just a variation in paint , but was not included in the giftset, I have the silver variation mint on card and all the giftsets in box , hit me up ill send you pics , that toy line is so incredible
That looked like a very successful SDCC toy haul! Congrats on the Turtles pick up - seemed like a solid deal. Fun video!
Awesome pick ups! I love the ninja force I am probably about 3/4 of the way done with the loose collection of them.
I want trash bag bunch! I loved those at Walmart when I was a kid! I had the green beast fog thing and skeleton guy
Thank you Dan. Looks like you had a blast. I hope to go to the Con one day to hunt for some toys.
Rom Annual #1 ("It Came from Beyond the Stars" + "Traitor") shown at 36:00 went on sale July 27th, 1982. The cover was contributed by Al Milgrom who also happened to be the editor. It's worth noting Mr. Milgrom also had the exact same 2 credits associated with Incredible Hulk #271 introducing Rocket Raccoon on February 9th, 1982.
Didn't know there was an announcement for ROM. Started collecting them a few years ago just because I like robot stuff. Weirdly, a #1 in 9.8 hasn't moved much in price.
Hmmmmm, think I had a trapper keeper with the design on your shirt.... design looks very familiar......
37:08 I'm really looking forward to Turtles of Grayskull versions of Muckman and Mutagen Man. 😅
Great haul!! H.E.A.T Viper is my most favorite Joe figure. Wish I could go to SDCC one day.. but the distance is so far far away
It's interesting that H.E.A.T. Viper's bazooka is sculpted with a "FANG" logo at the end considering he was depicted the same year on box art piloting Cobra FANG II.
HEAT Viper was a favorite of mine, too. Note to Dan: Per the card art, he holds the bazooka under his arm, not up on his shoulder, so the word “fang” is right-side up :)
Harry The Haunted from Beetle Juice! So Jealous Dan that you had that in your hand
First booth was a mind blowing experience ❤
The viewmaster collection was super cool
The more commercials the better. Family and friends make the videos better too. These toy hunt videos are very fun
Great video Dan Muckman , Mutagean man and Fugitoid is in my list
I love the integration of commercials with the hunt. This is the best comic con video from the best sdcc reporter
Such a cool video
can you please say the name of those protective cases again? thanks
i army build with that fisher price pilot, the space zombie- they look badass guarding charon from clash of the titans-
I’d love to go that con just to look thru comic boxes
Love foil and hologram comics, I got a ton, still need those two u bought lol
I don’t think I knew u owned the hive play set
You and Pat are so fun together
If you don't already have some you should grab some of the new mordels from toyfinity
Great score on the carded tmnt(wish I had at least kept my cardbacks as a kid) & smart getting cases there. I still have my complete set of Bugs & Rocks(only got some of the “things” still tho). I still have my overlord figure(always loved him). And your heat vipers gun is upside down. He holds the handle with it on top.(was one of my favorites as a kid too) Interesting to hear about the Tyson doll. And love seeing carded street fighter joes
that "jaws shark" reminded me of the one from toy story that had woody's hat in the toy box.
I really liked the figure at 9:55 on the bottom right (white helmet) but I can't find any info on it.
those prices were way too high!
Hey its Pat the NES Punk. Great video man! Glad to see some actual older items for sale at SDCC
I remember having this rubber shark with a bendable guy in swim trunks for the shark to eat
awesome purchases congrats!
That Leo patch is hilariously suggestive
Pat is a chonker now.
You picked up the only two Spider-Man books I remember from my childhood 😂
They dont call him pat the punk for nuthin
So which is better,sdcc or power-con?
I had that Eggzilla when I was a kid, I completely forgot about it until I saw this! Also had that Gobots Power Suits Grungy Combiner too.
I loved seeing you hang out with Pat.

Wait a minute, they had comics at Comic Con.
Just letting you know that they just started releasing the Omnibus collection of Rom. Its 3 volumes for the complete collection. Only 2 have been released so far with the last coming soon. Cheaper than trying to collect the whole comic book version.
Great vid
Those booths with the vintage toys were INSANE!!!!
You had to make that Deal, that was a great Offer.
