Overview
There are two ways fans can purchase Mattel collectibles in person at SDCC:
Specific dates and times for randomly assigned time slots and public access will be posted closer to the event.
Applying via the 2023 Exclusives Portal does not guarantee that you’ll be selected for a shopping time slot. You can only apply for a randomly assigned time slot if you’re already a badged SDCC participant. You can only be selected for a maximum of one time slot per day, on a day that you are already attending SDCC.
There will be purchase limits on all items, regardless of whether you enter the Mattel booth with a randomly assigned time slot or during the public access window. Visiting the booth does not guarantee you the opportunity to purchase any specific items at the booth, as products are offered while supplies last.
How to Apply for a Randomly Assigned Shopping Time Slot Through SDCC

Plan to arrive at Mattel’s booth (#2945) a few minutes before your scheduled time slot with your confirmation QR code, and photo identification that matches the name on your application and confirmation email, to access your shopping opportunity.
If you’re not selected, you may still have an opportunity to shop at the Mattel booth during the public access period, which will be open for a few hours in the afternoon until the show floor closes, each day during SDCC.
