Asmus for the first time ever had a nice looking case in the Diamond Select area with a top shelf Middle Earth presence, some of the VG proprieties and Hateful8.
Mondo had a shelf of stuff (MOTU, God of War, other VG properties I don't recognize, other stuff I couldn't focus on do to MOTU).
Three Zero had one case amongst the 3A booth which as others have said is as small as my wife's Los Angeles walk-in closet (I don't get a closet for clothes, the den is full of 1/6th scale boxes). It had the 3 GoT figures shown above. I liked Cersei more, Arya less... WW the same, he looks cool and unlike any other 1/6th fig I have so will stand out nicely on the shelf.
HT/Sideshow had an odd year..
for SS 2 small cases showing 2 figs each (one was Jabba Palace disguise Lando though!), then a separate case having SW mythos and their own take on Marvel characters.
HT had the usual Marvel/SW/Oddities cases (John Wick? looks super bashable to me but whatever... and Alita..super mixed feelings on this movie and subsequent figures...)
Bliztway was also part of this showing this year and some odd things indead… Gina Davis Pirate anyone? Maybe Zoro? How about Jack Black from School of Rock, or Keanu from Bill and Ted's w/ guitar? Weird anime/mecha duo (this was actually awesome btw, not sure if I will buy it, but loved looking at it), and more. Only GB thing was the Ecto 1.
Not particularly 1/6ht but Dark Horse showed a massive 18" tall Iron Throne. It looked bad ass and had a $499 price tag but was nice. Cersei would look stellar on this.
QMX had a nice showing with things I am not that interested in like Supernatural, another awesome view of older Khan (still not in love with sculpt of Kirk for this film thou) and the stand out was Inigo Montoya... he looked great... "prepare to die" literally came to mind the moment I looked at him. I doubt I will venture into this property, but for those interested, a great representation was shown.
So a pretty weak sdcc across the board. Money saved I suppose.
