Throughout the convention show floor were plenty of photo-ops with life-size (and sometimes larger-than-life) statues. Just outside of Funkoville, a corner of the convention center dedicated to Funko's brands, were giant Funko Pop Squid Games figures. At the opposite end of the show you could find a four-ton animatronic LEGO Bowser. Other popular setups included Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragon Ball Z, Iron Studio's Thanos statue, and a Studio Ghibli booth, which featured photo-ops for several of the studio's most famous films.

One of the most exciting things to see at Comic-Con are the luxury collectibles for sale. People come to SDCC from all over the world to purchase rare comics, designer toys, fine art, and convention exclusives. Brands like Sideshow Collectibles, Diamond Select Toys, Square Enix, and One 12 Collective were all there selling toys and collectibles. There was even a booth displaying an entire base set of first edition, Gem Mint 10 Pokemon Cards. And while a Gem MT Charizard may have been the most expensive item there, this statue of Morbius is definitely priceless.

There were scattered video game booths throughout the convention, but most of them were grouped together on the east end of the show
