I’m late in the game this year, but critters will be coming to SDCC 2025! I usually try to start making them in February, but this year was the first time I seriously debated if I’d be doing the drops at all. So much of what I do with the drops relies on the honor system, and while I’ve known there will always be bad actors, it’s been increasingly more difficult for me to hold that same trust in people. But dammit, tradition is tradition, so the critters will still be around at San Diego Comic-Con 2025! I may not have as many critters as before, but it’s still happening!
If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Cindy, and since 2011 I’ve been crocheting little characters from pop culture and leaving them behind for strangers to find at San Diego Comic-Con (and occasionally on my travels) by leaving clues on social media! I’ll be continuing my San Diego Comic-Con drops this year, with the first two critters being Batman and Superman!
This little dynamic duo were the first two critters that I made back in 2011, and they’ve been part of my SDCC adoption lineup every year since then!
And just for fun, here’s how they looked back in 2011!
I’d say they’ve had a bit of a glow-up since 2011, yeah? Find Superman or Batman at SDCC 2025 and it’s yours to keep!
If you’ve never followed my SDCC drops before, here’s what you need to know:
- Follow me on Instagram, Threads, or Twitter for updates on new critters!
- When the time comes, follow my Instagram/Threads posts or tweets to track the drops, where I’ll post hints on where I’ve left them for a lucky finder!
- Set up a mobile alert on your phone! This isn’t required, but it’ll help! This way your phone will notify you every time I make a post, so you won’t miss a single drop! Instructions on how to set this up can be found here for Instagram, here for Threads, and here for Twitter.
- If you find a critter, let me know that you found it! Please check in if you find a critter. Each one is tagged with a card with my contact info, I just ask for two things if you find one: 1) Send me a photo of your new friend, and 2) Let me know where the critter’s new home will be so I can add it to my map! I do this knowing that there’s a potential that anyone could swipe the critter and never get back to me on it, but it doesn’t make it any less disheartening when one goes missing.
No specific hints on where these little guys will be dropped, and I’ll drop them whenever the time and place feels right! Find one and it’s yours to keep! Happy hunting!
Pick your social media poison and join the hunt!
