    Venom Symbiote Meets Kawaii Trash in 100% Soft’s Most Marvel

    Venom Symbiote Meets Kawaii Trash in 100% Soft’s Most Marvel

    With San Diego Comic-Con eight days out, Los Angeles-based collectibles brand 100% Soft has finalized its most Marvel-saturated SDCC lineup to date — anchored by a glow-in-the-dark Venom Dumpster Fire vinyl figure already commanding $184.99 in eBay presale listings, more than five times its $32 retail price, before a single convention badge has been scanned. The full drop — officially licensed Spider-Man villain pins tied to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a symbiote-themed Dumpster Fire in two editions, a Butts on Things crossover pin, and an 8-bit variant — lands at Booth #315 in Exhibit Hall A when the convention floor opens Thursday, July 23, per 100% Soft’s official lineup page.

    The timing is deliberate. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland, opens in US theaters on July 31, 2026 — five days after SDCC closes. Con-goers picking up villain pins at Booth #315 will walk out of the convention center knowing exactly which characters they just collected before those same characters appear on screen

    Venom Dumpster Fire: Symbiote Takes Over the Trash

    The centerpiece of this year’s lineup is the Venom Dumpster Fire vinyl figure, a mashup fusing 100% Soft’s signature kawaii trash-fire format with Marvel’s most commercially durable antihero. The regular edition retails at $30 and debuts at the convention; the SDCC-exclusive glow-in-the-dark variant is $32. Both require entry through the SDCC Online Exclusives Portal lottery for a guaranteed place in the purchasing queue, per the brand’s booth page

    The $2 premium for the GID variant matches a formula 100% Soft has used before. At SDCC 2022, the brand released the Toxic Waste Dumpster Fire — a glow-in-the-dark exclusive featuring a radioactive-green flame on a waste-barrel body — also at $32. That figure now changes hands on the secondary market well above its original price, a pattern the 2026 Venom GID variant has already reproduced before the show opens

    The mechanism is straightforward: the Dumpster Fire vinyl measures 3.5″×3.5″×2.75″, the same dimensions 100% Soft has used since the figure’s 2019 debut. Limited edition sizes combined with portal-controlled distribution concentrate demand, making the GID variant a speculative asset as much as a collectible. Walk-up attendees who do not win a portal time slot should not expect GID stock to survive until 1:30 PM, when the brand opens to first-come, first-served — the eBay presale market has already priced in that scarcity.

    Spider-Man: Brand New Day Villain Pins

    Ahead of the July 31 theatrical release, 100% Soft is debuting two officially licensed Spider-Man pins tied to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios production, per the booth’s full product listing. Both are priced at $12 each and will be available at Booth #315

    The film’s confirmed villain roster — Scorpion (Michael Mando), Tombstone (Marvin Jones III), Tarantula, Boomerang, and the ninja organization the Hand — gives the brand a villain-heavy character pool for the SDCC tie-in. Separate from these film-specific pins, 100% Soft is also bringing four Marvel Comics pins at $14 each; one is drawn from the iconic Amazing Spider-Man #50 panel in a pin titled Spider-Man No More, per the SDCC Unofficial Blog’s full coverage. All four Marvel Comics pins require an Online Exclusives Portal win to enter the purchasing queue at Booth #315.

    Dumpster Butt: The Butts on Things Crossover

    100% Soft is collaborating with Butts on Things on a “Dumpster Butt” crossover pin combining the Dumpster Fire motif with the latter brand’s signature imagery. The pin is limited to 1,600 pieces — 800 available at 100% Soft Booth #315 and 800 at the Butts on Things Booth #4523 — making this one of the larger limited-run crossover pieces in either brand’s SDCC history, per the official exclusives page

    8-Bit Dumpster Fire DES Edition

    The fourth exclusive is the 8-Bit Dumpster Fire DES Edition, limited to 1,000 pieces at $30 each. Unlike some of the other exclusives, the 8-Bit DES Edition will have a daily allotment at the booth and does not require a portal win for every access opportunity — though edition scarcity means stock is not guaranteed to last, as noted by the SDCC Unofficial Blog

    Who Is Truck Torrence?

    Truck Torrence is the Los Angeles-based artist behind 100% Soft, which he built around a kawaii-style flaming-dumpster character spanning enamel pins, vinyl figures, coloring books, and officially licensed Marvel merchandise. Torrence has served as Marvel’s emoji artist — the role that created the cute character icons that populate promotional hashtags for MCU films — giving the brand a sustained institutional relationship with Marvel that produces new licensed SDCC product each year

    The Dumpster Fire figure made its debut at SDCC 2019 as a convention exclusive limited to 60 pieces, priced at $50 each, produced by PropsAndPop as a hand-cast resin figure. It sold out on the first day — faster than Torrence anticipated — and the subsequent secondary-market demand led the brand to evolve its distribution model to the portal-and-raffle system that now defines SDCC access for its drops, as documented in coverage of the brand’s growth

    How to Get the Exclusives — and What the Portal Actually Means for Walk-Ups

    100% Soft will participate in the SDCC Online Exclusives Portal, per the brand’s booth information. Winning a portal time slot is the most reliable path to any of the brand’s exclusives; portal winners are served through approximately 1:30 PM each day, after which remaining stock — if any — opens to walk-up visitors on a first-come, first-served basis

    The GID Venom Dumpster Fire’s presale trajectory on eBay makes the practical consequence clear: when a $32 item reaches $184.99 in presale listings before the show opens, the portal lottery is not simply a convenience — it is functionally the dividing line between retail access and secondary-market pricing. Walk-up attendees who arrive after portal service ends should treat GID Venom as a secondary-market purchase rather than a booth purchase

    Items not purchased at the show may not be available online afterward; 100% Soft states that most products are made specifically for SDCC and post-show online availability is not guaranteed. Line caps are expected at the booth for most of the convention

    Truck Torrence will be signing at Booth #315 on Saturday, July 25 from 1–2 PM, with wristbands distributed at the booth Saturday morning while supplies last. He will also appear at the Penguin Random House Booth (#1514/#1515) on Thursday, July 23 from 5–5:45 PM, signing copies of his Dumpster Fire Coloring Book with a poster giveaway

    San Diego Comic-Con 2026 runs July 23–26 at the San Diego Convention Center, with Preview Night on July 22

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best way to get the 100% Soft SDCC 2026 exclusives?

    Winning a time slot through the SDCC Online Exclusives Portal is the most reliable approach. Portal winners are served through approximately 1:30 PM each day; any remaining stock then becomes available to walk-up visitors on a first-come, first-served basis, with no guarantee of availability. The GID Venom Dumpster Fire — already appearing in eBay presale listings at more than five times its $32 retail price — is the item most likely to exhaust supply before walk-up access begins

    Will any of the 100% Soft SDCC exclusives be available online after the convention?

    The brand states that most of its products are made specifically for SDCC and that post-show online availability is not guaranteed. The secondary market on eBay is the most predictable post-show access option for sold-out items, though prices typically run well above retail for GID and crossover pieces from prior years

    What is the Venom Dumpster Fire, and why does the glow-in-the-dark version cost more on the resale market?

    The Venom Dumpster Fire is a 3.5″×3.5″×2.75″ vinyl figure applying 100% Soft’s kawaii Dumpster Fire format to Marvel’s Venom symbiote character, officially licensed from Marvel. The glow-in-the-dark SDCC-exclusive variant retails at $32 — $2 above the regular $30 edition — but commands a secondary-market premium because it is a convention-exclusive colorway in a limited run, produced under a distribution model (portal lottery plus walk-up cutover) that concentrates access. The same GID formula produced the 2022 Toxic Waste Dumpster Fire at $32; that figure now sells above its original retail price as well.

    Do the Spider-Man: Brand New Day pins feature confirmed film villains?

    Yes. The two Spider-Man: Brand New Day pins at $12 each are officially licensed by Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios. The film’s confirmed villain roster includes Scorpion (Michael Mando), Tombstone (Marvin Jones III), Tarantula, Boomerang, and the Hand. The four separate Marvel Comics pins at $14 each are drawn from comic Spider-Man No More image from Amazing Spider-Man #50
