Here at the UBlog, we’re huge fans of artist Priscilla Wilson — known professionally as Valor & Vellum — for her imaginative designs and original characters like Soonay and Toratai, which blend her heritage with whimsy, modern design, and heartfelt storytelling. It doesn’t hurt that her designs typically channel the very heart of the convention as well, weaving in details that San Diego Comic-Con fans can point to and which make her designs feel truly exclusive to the convention.
This year, she returns to Booth #4721 with a new round of exclusives and fan-favorite merchandise. Her popular fan meetup will also be returning, with details TBA.
If you are interested in her San Diego Comic-Con exclusive Soonay figures, be sure to enter her lotteries by July 14 at 12pm PT, with a limit of one form per edition for:
- Crystal Convention Center
- Crystal Gaslamp
- Crystal Rady
- Priscilla Wilson x Patrick Ballesteros Collab
[UPDATE July 7 #2]
It’s the collab you’ve all been waiting for (or maybe that’s just me)… Priscilla is teaming up with Patrick Ballesteros for a new wave of collab 1/1 figures, each featuring an original hand-drawn piece of art by Patrick.
There will be a total of 60 figures, with 35 A-grades for $110 each, and 25 B-grades for $85 each. Each figure also comes with a bonus collab sticker and pin. The figures will be split between Priscilla booth and Patrick’s Mnemonic Coffee pop-up on Tuesday, July 21. For Priscilla’s portion, there will be an online lottery, with details still TBA.
A bonus C-grade figure will also be given away at the Soonay meetup.
[UPDATE July 7]
Feel a sense of clarity about these next Priscilla Wilson resin figures, with a new technique featuring sketches inside the cast figures. Each figure will come with a sticker and a pin. Available by lottery, with details to be revealed soon, each of the three versions is limited and will be $75.
Crystal Convention Center – Limited Edition of 20 – $75
Crystal Gaslamp – Limited Edition of 13 – $75
Crystal Rady – Limited Edition of 22 – $75
[UPDATE July 3]
Priscilla is raising a toast to fandom with her new glow-in-the-dark “You Are What You Drink” pin series, inspired by the labels fans have proudly reclaimed over the years. Are you a self-identified geek? Maybe you consider yourself more of a “weeb” or “taku”.
Each glow-in-the-dark pin will be available for $10, with both exclusive and debut colorways.
Collectors can also try their luck with the convention-exclusive blind bag variants, limited to just 650 bags. Hidden inside a lucky few will be a prize coupon redeemable for an official SDCC-exclusive Japanese Vending Machine pinnant, limited to only 50 pieces.
The pinnant won’t be sold separately, making the blind bags the only way to score one. Just be sure to redeem any winning coupon by 4pm on Sunday, July 26, or it will be forfeited. And if luck isn’t on your side, don’t worry—there’s much more still to come from Priscilla.
[UPDATE July 2]
Priscilla is lighting up San Diego Comic-Con with her first exclusive reveal: a new collection of glow-in-the-dark Soonay & Friends enamel pins, featuring her original characters. For the exclusives, limited editions range from just 113 to 139 pieces, including:
