The "DKE Toys booth" will be set up in the DKE warehouse and available to all via a live continuous Zoom meeting
and for the first time in DKE Toys history - all of the SDCC convention releases will be available in an online store (which is he, because the only way to get at the annual SDCC-editions was AT the event venue itself)!

These cardbacks are printed so we can offer a lower price point of $30. Each one has a "bootleg" of the @sucklord or Phantom Starkiller and are signed on their respective backs by the Sucklord or @killerbootlegs, and Lou Pimentel. Cardback and logo design by Moc Toys."
