​There are hundreds of booths at New York Comic Con each year. The majority of these sell cheap plushes, mass-produced action figures, stickers and posters. However, there are a portion of artist-run booths that focus on the art of sculpture, highly sought after collectibles and designing new and wonderful toys. Here are a few booths that captured our attention.

The Newcomer

This was Martian Toy's first year at Comic Con, but that didn't stop them from impressing us with a massively creative line of toys. With new, independent toys created for the company and a wide artist line producing items with classic creators like Funko, we see a bright future for these aliens.

The Classics Collector

The family-owned Executive Replicas isn't in the business of your average superheroes. Owners Winston and Martin Dunlop seek out the licenses for classic science fiction, horror and B-movies, making for a collection the likes of which you won't see anywhere else at Comic Con.

The Master Sculptor

Under the tutelage of expert sculptor Jerry Macaluso, Pop Culture Shock Toys and Collectibles brings incredible attention to detail and razor accuracy to their figurines. From the tiniest pores up to the statue's incredible pose — these sculptures stand up beneath a microscope or under a spotlight.

The Returning Champion

ARH Studio's devotion to mythological heroes and famed comic artist Frank Frazetta's creations (in addition to bringing their own original comics to life) makes their line of figurines worthy of any true collector. After three years at Comic Con, ARH has it down to a science.
