One of the best parts about attending San Diego Comic-Con (and one of the most frustrating for those that can’t) is all of the exclusive merchandise vendors make available only for the convention. Oftentimes, these are just variants of existing products or pre-sales of items that won’t be available to the public for weeks or months. Frequently, though, these are truly exclusive items that will never see the light of day outside the San Diego Convention Center.

This year, Doctor Who is no exception. There are literally dozens of Comic-Con exclusives for Whovians to drool over. Here’s a list of all the best items available on the show floor in the next few days. If you plan to be at Comic-Con this year, get your shopping list ready. If you’re one of the millions who won’t be there (myself included), prepare to weep:

5. LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who/Portal Poster

This one’s technically not at Comic-Con itself, but nearby at the San Diego Hard Rock Hotel. LEGO Dimensions will be setting up shop all weekend long, with a first-look chance to play the game, check out some LEGO art, and hobnob with LEGO characters and “special guests.”

But we’re talking exclusive collector’s items here, and the one to look for at the LEGO Dimensions experience will be a limited-edition LEGO Dimensions print featuring Portal and Doctor Who. There’s also an exclusive t-shirt if you pre-order the game on-location, though they haven’t released a description or photo, so there’s no telling if Doctor Who is featured or not.

4. Exclusive Doctor Who Comic Book from Titan Comics

Titan is bringing a few exclusives to Comic-Con this year, including the comic pictured above in two different covers. It’s an exclusive short story with the Doctor and Clara actually landing the TARDIS at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. (I wonder if they stop in for the Doctor Who panel — that would be awkward).

In addition, Titan will have exclusive Comic-Con covers for the latest issues of their three Doctor Who titles: The Tenth Doctor #13, The Eleventh Doctor #14, and The Twelfth Doctor #10:

As you can see, the three covers form a triptych with all three Doctors against the London skyline.

3. Doctor Who Titans Vinyl Figures

Titan has more up their sleeves than just comics at this year’s Comic-Con. They’ll also have two exclusive Doctor Who vinyl figures available at their booth (#5537).

Both figures are of David Tennant’s Tenth Doctor, one wearing a fez (as seen in the 50th anniversary special, ‘The Day of the Doctor’) and the other with his oft-worn tuxedo and glasses.

As you can see in the image above, they’ll have a couple of non-Whovian exclusives, too: a Sherlock figure and a red Ghostbusters Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

2. Exclusive Doctor Who Funko Pop! Vinyl Figures

Everyone loves Funko’s cutesy Pop! Vinyl figures, so it was with much fanfare that the Doctor Who figures were finally released a few weeks ago.

Now, Funko is bringing two exclusive Doctor Who vinyl figures to Comic-Con 2015: the Eleventh Doctor Holding Cyberman Head (which we all know is Handles from ‘The Time of the Doctor’), and the Twelfth Doctor In Spacesuit (as seen in ‘Kill the Moon’).

I want these. So. Bad.

Next: 1. Twelfth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote (and other BBC Shop exclusives)

The Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote will be available in a limited number at San Diego Comic-Con before going on sale to the general public in September.

1. Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote (and other BBC Shop exclusives)

The BBC America booth (#4129) will have a ton of exclusive and pre-sale Doctor Who items at Comic-Con 2015, but the most exciting is the Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote. It goes on sale to the general public on September 9, but a limited run of 168 individually-numbered remotes will be available at Comic-Con — and they’re gonna go fast.

Two other items will be available at the BBC America booth before they go on sale elsewhere, and they’re both socks. Not quite as exciting as a Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote, but hey, it’s something:
