San Diego Comic Con may be off this year like virtually every other entertainment and media event for 2020, but the typically-exclusive products tied to the annual show are still coming — and thanks to this year’s “SDCC @ Home” format, you don’t have to fly to southern California to get your hands on the goods.
Icon Heroes, the Star Trek licensee who launched their “Emperor Georgiou dagger” as a Discovery SDCC exclusive last summer, has now announced not one but two new Next Generation character busts for this year’s event… each part of a very specific theme.
Leaning into the TNG “facepalm” meme, Icon Heroes is first reviving the 2018-era Picard mini-bust with an updated sculpt and base design, measuring 8″ tall and featuring the Enterprise-D captain at his most vexed moment. It’s available for preorder now through Entertainment Earth for $80, and will be limited to only 1,701 sales.
Joining his captain this year is the Jonathan Frakes-styled Commander Riker “facepalm” mini-bust, announced today, replicating the Enterprise-D first officer’s frustration during his holodeck trial in “A Matter of Perspective” and on post-World War III Earth in Star Trek: First Contact.
Like the Picard version, this mini-bust will also be limited to just 1,701 units — and is already up for preorder at Icon Heroes’ website for $90.00.
We’ll be sure to keep you posted with any more Star Trek special releases as we get closer to San Diego Comic Con’s “SDCC @ Home” event next month!
