SDCC 2012 is just a few short days away. The news should be starting to flow even sooner than that thanks to preview night and all the companies trying to steal each other’s thunder. To start the festivities for Powet.TV’s coverage we have put together a rather extensive checklist of exclusives available at the convention. There are over a hundred images in this post of cool things you can find at the con, but there may still be some gaps. If you see any, add it in the comments!
Join us after the jump for plenty of exclusive goodness!

I missed this one earlier, but I didn’t want it to slide by. Mezco will be releasing a follow-up wave to their horror movie inspired plushies. This time around we will see the likes of Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees.
From the press release:
*Freddy Krueger as seen in A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream
Warriors sporting a dapper tuxedo.
*Jason from Friday the 13th Part 2 features the “sack mask” look he
experimented with before settling on his hockey mask, includes pick
axe accessory.
*Leatherface from Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 featuring the new mask
worn in the second TCM movie, Leatherface also has a completely new
outfit and his trusty oversized chainsaw accessory.
Each stands approximately 13 inches tall and is sure to thrill horror
aficionados!
Mezco had prototypes of the figures on display at the NYCC in April at their booth.
These horrifyingly cute serial killers should be available in time for Halloween.
Full Press Release after the jump.

Mezco has announced that there will be two Toys R Us exclusive figures from their upcoming Heroes line of action figures. Based on the hit tv series, the line already has three waves scheduled for 2008 starting in June. The two exclusives will be ‘Fire Rescue Claire’ and ‘Times Square Teleportation Hiro’.
Here’s a snippit from the release:
Fire-Rescue Claire features the Texas teenager in her iconic cheerleader outfit from the scene where she rescues a fireman and risks revealing her powers. The figure boasts over 9 points of articulation and comes complete with a miniature reproduction painting by award- winning artist Tim Sale depicting the dramatic rescue scene.
Times Square Teleportation Hiro features the Japanese office drone in the iconic scene where he teleports to New York’s legendary Times Square in front of the famous Toys “R” Us flagship store. Hiro comes complete with an alternate head, his ever present messenger bag, a Times Square backdrop, and his highly detailed sword of Takezo Kensei
It might just be me, but the expression on Hiro’s face seems more appropriate in a bathroom than in Times Square.
