For the fourth straight year, the Baltimore Comic-Con is proud to announce that PopFun Merchandising, LLC will be releasing an exclusive ‘Toon Tumbler® to commemorate the show.  This year’s exclusive ‘Toon Tumbler features a gorgeous image of Batman from the now-classic Hush storyline, along with logos of the character and this year’s show on the reverse. Show promoter Marc Nathan related his excitement about the exclusive by commenting, “I love the fact that this has become a bit of a tradition for show-attendees.  It’s great having an exclusive both die-hard collectors and casual fans can appreciate and keep as a souvenir of their time at the show.”  The exclusive pint glass is particularly appropriate for the show, given Jim Lee’s appearance.  Nathan is also enthused about the fact that PopFun has chosen the Baltimore Comic-Con to debut six new regular release Marvel Comics ‘Toon Tumblers.'Toon Tumblers feature classic comic and animated characters on high-quality, pint glasses.
