• Post a photo of yourself with The Night King Bust (Metallic Silver) at Dark Horse Booth #2615. The bust measures 8-3/4 inches tall.

• Post a photo of yourself wearing The Royal Crown of King Robert Baratheon at Factory Entertainment Booth #2647.

• Post a photo of yourself with a Game of Thrones Sigil Stationery Set at Insight Editions Booth #1703. These deluxe stationery sets ($34.95 each), themed to House Stark, House Lannister and House Targaryen, provide all the items fans will need to communicate with friends, bannermen, and faraway Maesters.

Marvel and Funko have announced they will be joining together to celebrate Captain America’s 75^th Anniversary – and the United Service Organization’s 75^th Anniversary – with Operation: ReDorbz. This July, Funko and Marvel will host a charity event in San Diego as part of the festivities surrounding San Diego Comic Con. As part of the momentous milestones, Marvel and Funko have gathered gifted artists from Marvel Entertainment, The Walt Disney Company, Funko and beyond to bring their own original twists and takes to 18-inch Captain America “jumbo” Dorbz figures. Following the event in San Diego, each and every one-of-a-kind figure will be auctioned on eBay in support of the USO.

Seventy-five of the custom collectible figures will be on display at Funko’s San Diego offices during San Diego Comic Con, and the gallery will be open to the public through the weekend. Following a private, 1940s-themed gallery showing on July 21^st, each of the 75 figures on display and approximately 200 additional submissions will be available for auction on eBay.
