Big Day at San Diego Comic-Con Málaga

This was the first day to sell out when tickets went on sale. If Thursday and Friday felt packed at the Málaga Fair Palace, imagine the atmosphere this Saturday. An hour before the doors opened, there were already thousands of people waiting their turn at the access doors, many already fully transformed into their favorite character. And since seven in the morning. No pain. All for making the most out of the big day at San Diego Comic-Con Málaga.

A third day with two highlights on the agenda: the presentation of 'Predator: Badlands', the next movie in the Predator franchise, and the panel that will unite actor Nicholas Denton from the new AMC series 'Talamasca' with the international cast of 'The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon', which includes Spanish actors Eduardo Noriega and Óscar Jaenada.

And the pattern from the previous days repeated itself. The rush for a limited edition Funko opened the day, generating moments of tension where security personnel had to intervene. By ten in the morning, the line was already unmanageable. And they only release 150 units in each restock. This, coupled with the excitement among children for the giant 'Toy Story' room right next door, complicated movement through the narrow entrance hallway to the room. And a zigzagging line of people waited in the courtyard of the Palace to get in.

The massive influx has a positive side. "People come to shop to death, they are eager to spend," celebrated at the Cami Chan booth, designers of T-shirts and figurines starting from a few euros. On the other end, at the Lladró 'corner', they were happy about the high traffic of people, many of whom were surprised to see characters from the most famous fiction sagas made out of handcrafted ceramic. Their prices range from three to four figures. And they sell. Two imperial soldiers, for 1,800 euros each, are already in someone's home.
