Jason Freeny and FYE Unveil 'Rugrats' & 'SpongeBob SquarePants' '90s Nickelodeon SDCC 2018 Dissectibles | #NickSDCC | SDCC 2018 [Updated With PR]

Jason Freeny’s XXray figures have been some of the most unique toys to hit the market over the last few years. Up till now, he’s tackled characters from Adventure Time, The DC Universe, Rubber Duckies, Gummy Bears, and Loony Toons. Now, Freeny and Mighty Jaxx are teaming up with Nickelodeon and FYE for an array of SDCC 2018 exclusives!

First up is 8″ XXray figure based around the mighty Reptar from Nickelodeon’s Rugrats:

XXRAY Reptar


From Nickelodeon and Nick 90’s comes Reptar in a way you’ve never seen before!

Limited Edition 8” Dissected Vinyl Art Figure

Designed exclusively for FYE by artist Jason Freeny

See the progression of this limited edition collectible piece starting from drawing to prototype to the finished product. You will receive the finished piece only but we wanted you to see just how this great piece came to life!

$129.99

The Jason Freeny stylised XXRAY version of Reptar which will be up for grabs at SDCC 2018 via the FYE booth. Don’t worry kids, no blood involved.

The icing on the cake is They’ve just gone onto pre-order this week on fye.com. Price: $129.99 USD. This item is available for pre-order and will be sent out in Aug 2018. These will ALSO be available at SDCC too, regardless of the online pre-order. If you are attending SDCC you’ll be able to get your hands on Reptar a month before those that order online. Cue the Rugrats theme song, please. (Limit two per customer.)

In addition to the 8″ Reptar, they will also be releasing an exclusive blind box series of XXray figures based on Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants. The blind box figures (XXRAY Spongebob Squarepants Hidden Dissectibles Blind Box) can be purchased for $19.99 a piece, or the complete set can be purchased for $299.99 (XXRAY Spongebob Squarepants Hidden Dissectibles Collector Set). Both products are available to pre-order now. As both are part of FYE's "2018 Summer Convention Exclusives" line, I'm guessing these will also be available at SDCC 2018, however, I haven't found any evidence to confirm this yet. (Limit two per customer for each item)


Here are the details on both products:

Additionally, the official Mighty Jaxx Instagram page has shared a teaser image of an upcoming dissection of CatDog!


Unfortunately, the figure still doesn’t answer the age-old question of “how does CatDog poop?” However, this means that there could be more Nicktoons coming our way in the XXray line. Think of it. We could be on the verge of dissected figures of characters like Ren, Stimpy, Rocko, Arnold, ZIM, The Wild Thornberrys, and tons more!

There is also a Raving Rabbids Invasion XXray Rabbid Dissectible in the works.

In SDCC related news, Funko has revealed that one of its SDCC 2018 exclusives will be a Disney's Doug Funko Pop! Skeeter Valentine figure! (honk honk!) Skeeter will join Funko's Doug Funnie and Porkchop and Patti Mayonnaise POP! figurines unveiled earlier this year.
