PLANTATION, Fla., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- popmarket, the collector-focused retail brand of Alliance Entertainment (NASDAQ: AENT), today announced the full slate of exclusives it will sell at New York Comic Con 2026, running October 8 through 11 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Sixteen limited items — spanning action figures, 3D lenticular puzzles, an exclusive comic book, collector vinyl and licensed music fan gear — will be available at popmarket, Booth #4415, with suggested retail prices from $8 to $150.

popmarket serves collectors across toys, collectibles, and video games at popmarket.com. At New York Comic Con, its booth will feature exclusives from the company’s collectibles distribution business alongside product drawn from across Alliance Entertainment’s divisions, including Alliance Home Entertainment, Alliance Authentic and Handmade by Robots.

The assortment was built with vendor partners specifically for the show, favoring limited production runs, new artwork and first-to-market releases.

“Our booth is a cross-section of what Alliance does — merchandise featuring Godzilla, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and musicians like Ghost, Sleep Token and Ozzy, not to mention exclusive vinyl records for the original soundtrack of Dawn of the Dead and the brand-new Czarface Meets Frankie Pulitzer, all in one place,” said Mike Schimmel, Senior Vice President of Collectibles Sales at Alliance Entertainment. “That range is the whole point. It lets us show fans in four days what the popmarket catalog looks like year-round.”

Additionally, popmarket’s booth will be home to several activations throughout the show, including the complimentary giveaway while supplies last of exclusive art cards promoting Demon Records/BBC’s Doctor Who vinyl sets and their upcoming Lord of the Rings vinyl box set, which features the original full cast dramatization radio broadcast from 1981. And popmarket will be a featured stop at the show for fans on the Craniacs Trading Card Scavenger Hunt where limited quantities will be available.
