Cryptozoic will preview its two latest products: DC Bombshells Trading Cards III, which is coming later this month, and the super premium CZX™ Super Heroes & Super-Villains, which will be released before the end of the year. In addition, the company will sell exclusive convention packs for several fan-favorite products: CZX Outlander, Outlander Trading Cards Season 1, Steven Universe Trading Cards, and Rick and Morty Trading Cards. It will also give all attendees a Promo Card for the upcoming Rick and Morty Trading Cards Season 3. Finally, Cryptozoic will offer a box break promotion and a panel giving a sneak peek of its plans for the future.
“The amazing fans and dealers who attend Philly each year are at the very heart of Cryptozoic’s trading card business,” said Dustin Porras, Assistant Product Manager of Trading Cards at Cryptozoic. “We are thrilled to tell them about all of our new products, including our CZX Super Heroes & Super-Villains set that has been years in the making. We’ll have some great packs for collectors to buy and lots of exciting news to share!”
In celebration of next month’s premiere of Season 4 of Rick and Morty, Cryptozoic will give all attendees of the show Rick and Morty Trading Cards Season 3 Promo Card P8, featuring the Vindicators.
Additionally, Cryptozoic’s box break promotion allows collectors to buy any box of the company’s trading cards at the show and receive CZX Outlander Promo Card P5 or P7, both of which feature actor Sam Heughan portraying Jamie Fraser. An attendee needs to take his or her box to the Cryptozoic table, where a representative will cut the seal and then give him or her the Promo Card. There is a limit of 24 box breaks per person per day, while supplies last.
At the show, Cryptozoic will preview its two newest trading card products:
DC Bombshells Trading Cards III: The third release based on the popular DC Bombshells collectibles and comics again puts the focus on artistic interpretations of the 1940s-inspired characters. It features a Base Set and six Chase Sets that utilize Sketch Card art from Cryptozoic’s two previous DC Bombshells releases. In addition, the randomly inserted one-of-a-kind Sketch Cards showcase new art by some of today’s hottest artists. Each hobby box contains one Golden Goddess or rare Bronze variant of a DC Lil Bombshells: Series 1 2.75-inch vinyl figure. Alternately, some hobby boxes contain an ultra rare, totally unique Hand-Painted DC Lil Bombshells figure. The trading card set will be available later this month.
CZX Super Heroes & Super-Villains: Cryptozoic’s upcoming CZX super premium trading card release features thick, glossy cards with gold Deco Foil and memorable images from movies starring DC’s characters, spanning from 2005’s Batman Begins to the recent Aquaman and Shazam! The unprecedented list of Autograph Card signers is led by stars Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Ezra Miller, and Jason Momoa, who each signed multiple versions of their cards. Moreover, the release includes a 54-card Base Set, two Chase Sets, and randomly inserted one-of-a-kind, hand-drawn Artist Sketch Cards.
Throughout the show, Cryptozoic will be at its table selling several exclusive trading card packs:
