FanSets, the limited-edition collectibles company, and Warner Bros. have joined forces once again to create some amazing collectibles for San Diego ComicCon’s official carry-all bags this year. Hidden within the 18 different Warner Bros. designed bags, distributed to attendees when checking in at the show, is one of 12 different exclusive FanSets DC Comics super hero pins featuring highly detailed heads of such iconic super heroes as Batman, Superman, Black Lightning and Wonder Woman. In addition, FanSets is also producing 5 companion pin designs only available on its website, fansets.com, for fans to purchase and add to the collection. The pins are designed to appeal to casual and serious collectors who will definitely want to add these to their collections. This marks the ninth year that Warner Bros. is providing the official bag of the world’s leading comics and pop culture convention. Last year’s collectible Comic-Con DC Justice League pins from FanSets and Warner Bros. have become sought after collector’s items on the secondary market.
“We are proud to be returning as the provider of the gift pins for the 2018 SDCC with Warner Bros. It’s a great compliment to the quality and collectability of our pins that we were asked to
be involved again for the second year in a row. Warner is a great partner to work with and we are proud of our association with them.” – Lew Halboth, Partner, FanSets.
