Denver, CO – July 11th, 2018 – FanSets, the limited-edition collectibles company, and Warner Bros. have joined forces once again to create some amazing collectibles for San Diego Comic- Con’s official carry-all bags this year. Hidden within the 18 different Warner Bros. designed bags, distributed to attendees when checking in at the show, is one of 12 different exclusive FanSets DC Comics super hero pins featuring highly detailed heads of such iconic super heroes as Batman, Superman, Black Lightning and Wonder Woman. In addition, FanSets is also producing 5 companion pin designs only available on its website, fansets.com, for fans to purchase and add to the collection. The pins are designed to appeal to casual and serious collectors who will definitely want to add these to their collections.
