15 Hot Comic-Con 2011 Collectibles We Want
If you're enough of a comic, movie or TV fan to go to San Diego Comic-Con, you might also be the type of person that buys collectible items to show off your fandom. It's not just toys, but books, posters, DVDs and statuettes are all for sale at the con (aside from plenty of comics). We've made a list of the coolest movie-related items that you'll only be able to get in San Diego, at least until they show up on eBay.
1. Star Wars Vintage Revenge of the Jedi Special Edition Death Star Collector's Pack
You read that right -- "Revenge" of the Jedi. This collector's pack has 12 figures, two exclusive minifigures, and it's all branded with Revenge of the Jedi key art. Amongst the figures included are Luke, Han, Leia, R2-D2 and Admiral Ackbar (It's a trap!). This is one of the collectibles we're most excited about at the con this year. Available at the HasbroToyShop.com Booth (#3329).
2. Hot Wheels Back to the Future Vehicle
An essential addition to any Hot Wheels collection, this is Doc Brown's famous time-travelling Delorean, in nifty display packaging. If you can't pick one up at the con, it will eventually find its way to mattycollector.com. Available at the Mattel Booth (#3029).
3. Embossed Advance Copy of The Boy Who Loved Batman
Advance copy of The Boy Who Loved Batman memoir by Michael Uslan, executive producer of the Batman films. If it wasn't for Uslan, we wouldn't have any Batman movies (except for the campy Adam West version). This is the story of how he brought Batman back to the big screen, and the studio obstacles he had to surmount every step of the way. This book won't be available until September, so if you want to get it early, now is your chance. Available at the Chronicle Books Booth (#1506).
4. Indiana Jones "Lost Wave" Special Edition Collector's Pack
When the latest Indiana Jones movie hit theaters, Hasbro took a stab at starting an action figure line based on the franchise. Considering they've done very well with Star Wars, Marvel, GI Joe and Transformers lines, this seemed like a gimme, right? It turns out the figures weren't that well-received, so they canceled the line, including the final wave of Raiders figures. But now you can get them at the con, and be the envy of all your collector friends! Available at the HasbroToyShop.com Booth (#3329).
5. Ghostbusters Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
This is another one of the items we're most excited about... who wouldn't want a 20" Stay Puft Marshmallow Man? It's the largest item ever made by Mattel and sold at SDCC, and is made from soft foam, with articulation at the arms, head and legs. The packaging also includes a city diorama. Nifty! Available at the Mattel Booth (#3029).
6. Neville Longbottom SDCC 2011 Mini Bust
This is something for the Harry Potter superfan -- your friends may have Harry, Hermione and Ron busts, but you can only get Neville in San Diego. Wielding his trusty wand and the Sorting Hat, this pure blooded Gryffindor has grown from a shy, introverted boy into a fierce defender of good. Available at the Gentle Giant Studios Booth (#3513).
7. Drew Struzan: Oeuvre Introduction by George Lucas Limited Edition
Struzan is one of the most celebrated poster artists working today, and this book will tempt any serious cinephile. This oversized, numbered, slipcased edition, signed by Struzan himself on a bound-in specially illustrated signature sheet and limited to 1000 copies, also includes an exclusive Drew Struzan Pan's Labyrinth print (signed by the artist) in a protective envelope, and features a cloth case with a variant dustjacket specific to this edition. Available at the Titan Entertainment Booth (#5537).
8. San Diego Comic-Con Gizmo
From the brand new re-launch of the Gremlins line comes this special edition San Diego Comic-Con Gizmo. Gizmo comes complete with removable sunglasses to protect himself from the bright lights and the California sun, along with a special lanyard badge for his Comic-Con attendance and a tote bag that Gizmo can be placed inside to hide from the Gremlins or from the crowds of fanboys and fangirls in San Diego. Gizmo is fully poseable, including articulated ears and movable eyes. Available at the NECA Booth (#3145).
9. Transformers: Dark of the Moon Special Edition Ultimate Optimus Prime Figure
OK, the critics don't like his movies, but that doesn't mean we don't have much love for Optimus Prime himself. This SDCC special edition Ultimate Optimus Prime will be the only way to get the figure displayed in vehicle and trailer mode, and we think it's one of the best Optimus figures that Hasbro has made. Available at the HasbroToyShop.com Booth (#3329).
10. Carol Ferris Barbie Doll
Are you a Barbie collector and a comics geek? Then Mattel has just the toy for you -- Barbie as Carol Ferris, sometime sweetheart of Green Lantern hero Hal Jordan. Available at the Mattel Booth (#3029).
11. Empire of Style by Legendary Artist Alex Ross
Alex Ross is one of the finest artists working in comics today, and his watercolor art for books like Marvels, Kingdom Come, and Astro City added an unmatched level of depth and realism to those stories. Now he turns his attention to the Star Wars world, with this fine art lithograph from the popular Star Wars: VISIONS book project. Available at the Acme Archives Booth (#5629).
12. Battle Beyond the Stars Bundle
OK, we'll admit this isn't a very good movie, but some of us have a soft spot for this Roger Corman production that's basically "The Magnificent Seven meets Star Wars." James Cameron worked on the special effects here, and there are some pretty amusing performances from Robert Vaughn, John Saxon, and George Peppard. But why buy this at the con? Because you'll get a limited edition Battle Beyond the Stars Iron-on that you can use to boldly proclaim your love of schlock sci-fi movies. Available at the Shout! Factory Booth (#4248).
13. Famous Monsters of Filmland #257 w/Cover by Rick Baker
The legendary film magazine was re-launched last year, and to celebrate the anniversary of the mag's rebirth, horror icon Rick Baker designed this SDCC exclusive cover. If you're a horror film fan, you'll definitely need to get one of these. Available at the Famous Monsters of Filmland Booth (#1509).
14. The Nightmare Before Christmas 2-Piece Bronze Paperweight Sets
It's not too early to start your Christmas (or Halloween) shopping, and these bronze paperweights will help you start thinking about both holidays. These are pretty nice sculpts, and if you're looking for some classy Nightmare d?cor, this would be a nice touch. Available at the Monogram International Booth (#3744).
15. G.I. Joe Sky Striker Vehicle with Starscream Deco and Cobra Commander Special Edition Figure
Yes, we know this isn't technically a movie toy (although combining G.I. Joe and Transformers on film might result in a better movie than we've seen from either franchise so far). What you're getting here is the classic Sky Striker vehicle made over to look like an old-school Starscream, with Cobra Commander as pilot. And Cobra Commander is armed with a Walther P38 pistol, the 80s alt-mode of Megatron! There's simply too much nerd appeal here for us to ignore! Available at the HasbroToyShop.com Booth (#3329).

Fishers' Sliga wins another national wrestling title | High school ...
Mitch Sliga came up just short of a state wrestling title in his first two years at Fishers High School, but he continues to add impressive hardware to his trophy case.
Sliga won his second consecutive 189-pound title at the ASICS/Vaughn Cadet Nationals Greco-Roman championships this week in Fargo, N.D., beating Pensylvania?s Javon Reyes 1-0, 7-0 in the finals. He is now wrestling in the Cadet division freestyle championships at 189, which he also won last year. The tournament wraps up on Saturday.
The junior and cadet nationals are held in Fargo every summer and generally are considered USA Wrestling?s top invividual event for high school age wrestlers. It also is billed as the world?s largest wrestling competition. Sliga won the ?triple crown? at 189 last year when he won the Greco-Roman, freestyle and folkstyle titles, but he won?t be able to repeat that this year after finishing fourth in the USA Wrestling Folkstyle Nationals earlier this year. The Cadet division is for wrestlers born in either 1995 or 1996.
Sliga has an 80-4 record in his two seasons at Fishers and has finished third in the state at 189 in both years. He also was a member of Fishers? Class 5A state championship football team last November, but has said he plans to concentrate exclusively on wrestling in the future.
In other results involving Indiana wrestlers in Fargo, Perry Meridian?s Kirk Johnson finished eighth at junior 160 in Greco-Roman; and Fort Wayne Carroll?s Conner Lefever finished eighth at junior 171 in Greco-Roman.

Hezbollah reject Hariri warrants
Nasrallah described The Hague-based tribunal as biased Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has rejected indictments of four of its members over the 2005 assassination of Lebanon's former PM, Rafiq Hariri.
He also said no power would be able to arrest the "honourable brothers", who have not yet been named officially.
It was Nasrallah's first reaction to the indictments issued by the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) on Thursday.
The Shia Islamist movement has repeatedly denounced the UN-backed tribunal and vowed to retaliate.
Rafik Hariri and 22 others were killed in February 2005 in central Beirut when a huge bomb went off near his motorcade.
Hariri's son, Saad, welcomed the indictments and described them as a "historic moment" for Lebanon.
In a televised speech on Saturday, Sayyed Nasrallah rejected "each and every void accusation" made by the STL, saying it was tantamount to an attack on the group.
He said the four group members were brothers "who have an honourable history in resisting Israeli occupation".
Rafik Hariri is widely credited with getting Lebanon back on its feet after the 15-year civil war Sayyed Nasrallah went on by describing The Hague-based tribunal as biased and part of an Israeli plot.
The Hezbollah also urged people to stop worrying about the potential for conflict, saying the tribunal's indictments would not lead to civil war in Lebanon.
On Thursday, Lebanon's state prosecutor, Saeed Mirza, said he had received the indictments and four arrest warrants from an STL delegation in Beirut.
The STL later confirmed the indictments, stating that the judge "is satisfied that there is prima facie evidence for this case to proceed to trial".
It added that it would not reveal the identities of those indicted.
However, Lebanese Interior Minister Marwan Sharbil has told the AFP news agency that the names of the men charged are Mustafa Badr al-Din, Salim al-Ayyash, Assad Sabra and Hassan Unaisi.
Mr Badr al-Din was jailed in Kuwait over a series of bombings in 1983, and is a brother-in-law of the late top Hezbollah military commander, Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in a 2008 bombing in Damascus.
Leaks from the tribunal suggest it is mainly relying on mobile phone evidence to accuse the Hezbollah members, the BBC's Owen Bennett-Jones in Beirut reports.
The Lebanese government now has 30 days to arrest the four men, but Sayyed Nasrallah said they would not be detained not even in "300 years".
With Hezbollah being a strong force within the government, no-one is expecting the arrests, our correspondent adds.
