Shout Studios is back at its usual spot in the heart of the Exhibit Hall for another San Diego Comic-Con full of fun freebies and exclusive items based on many of the popular film and TV properties they’re known for giving great re-release treatments to. Shout’s booth is one of my first stops every year at SDCC, because I always pick up one of their FREE packs of five pins, usually celebrating that year’s biggest horror movie home video releases. This year, the pin pack features Farscape, but there are a number of other Shout-related freebies you can pick up simply by scanning your badge at their booth.
Shout! Studios is thrilled to announce its return to the convention center this summer for San Diego Comic-Con 2023! Showcasing fan favorites and the best of pop culture, this year’s highlights include ALF, a photo opportunity and giveaways in celebration of the studio’s new partnership with Aardman Animations, Shout! TV’s Always a Sword: A Sword & Sorcery Adventure marathon, SDCC exclusive giveaways, and more! Visit the Shout! Studios booth at #4118 to check out this year’s activities.
This year, Shout! will be giving away a number of exclusive items at its booth. Everyone’s favorite alien is back — in milk cap form — with the SDCC exclusive ALF Milk Cap toy, promoting the series’ latest home on Shout! TV. Fans of animation classics from Aardman Animations won’t want to miss Shaun the Sheep headbands or the Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers photo opportunity commemorating the 30th anniversary of beloved film. Role-playing game enthusiasts can pick up a custom SDCC exclusive Shout! Studios 20-sided die to run their own sword and sorcery adventures, and fans of the cult TV series Farscape can pick up a commemorative button pack.
Shout will also be selling a wide variety of its Blu-ray, Steelbook® and box set releases at this year’s convention, from the most popular new releases to cult favorites you may have missed! This year, the studio is also selling enamel pin sets from a variety of its most popular collector’s editions, available for the first time for standalone purchase.

At least the movie only runs 70 minutes, though I suppose that extra 10 technically disqualifies it from being a literal amateur hour.
