San Diego Comic-Con 2012 : Action Figure Xpress Exclusives

AFX is an old friend of Action-Figure.com (my old haunt) and so we always keep tabs on what Pat and the gang are up to. Being a collectibles retailer (as well as producer), a bunch of their exclusives will be things you'll remember from Diamond Comics and Diamond Select's lineups. Having more than one location to purchase may come in handy with something like the Walking Dead Minimates set!

Once again, Action Figure Xpress (Booth 3345) will be at the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con International in full force with some incredible exclusives and guests! Comic-con is that special event for fans to get a sneak peek at upcoming products and also to interact with designers, manufacturers, artists, celebrities, and more.
