Conan O'Brien will once again be immortalized with a set of four Pop! Vinyl figures to be available this July, when TBS's late-night series CONANreturns to San Diego for Comic-Con®International. Created by Funko for TBS, a division of Turner, this year's collectible figure designs include"Superman™ Conan," "Stormtrooper™ Conan," "Ghostbuster™ Conan" and "The Joker™ Conan.In addition, the world of CONAN will be put on full display through a virtual reality experience at the TBS Comic-Con® booth on the convention floor.

During the week of Comic-Con® International, CONAN will be taped at San Diego's historic Spreckels Theatre on Wednesday, July 20 – Saturday, July 23, including two rare weekend shows. Episodes will air that Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 11 p.m. (ET/PT) on all TBS platforms and will be available across TBS and Team Coco's digital, mobile and VOD platforms the day after airing.

Last year, CONAN became the first late-night show to tape a week of shows in San Diego during Comic-Con®, a milestone celebrated with the creation of the first-ever Conan Pop! Vinyl figures – "Conan O'Brien," "Batman™ Conan," "Zombie Conan" and "Conan's Monster" – which were handed out to thousands of fans attending the show's tapings. During this year's Comic-Con® International, new 2016 Conan Pop! Vinyl figures will be given away to audience members following each San Diego show, as well as directly to Comic-Con® attendees each morning. Supplies are limited, and details will be posted on the Comic-Con® website.

In addition to show tapings and giveaways, CONAN will be the focus of a unique virtual reality experience located at TBS's Comic-Con® booth on the convention floor. The experience will give attendees an exclusive peek into Conan O'Brien's world, both on and offstage, as seen through the eyes of a Conan Pop! Vinyl figure.

To promote CONAN's expanding Comic-Con® presence, TBS will feature Conan Pop! Vinyl figures extensively in on-air spots and within various off-channel media, including a banner on the Marriott South wall, wrapped trolleys and bus shelters. In addition, TBS will take over San Diego International Airport with messaging featuring the Pop! Vinyl figures throughout the entire footprint, including baggage claims, pedestrian sky bridges and escalators.
