Pretty much but a competitor of Funko Pop. It blew my mind when I saw it in a toy store window 2 weeks ago. I wonder if it's going to catch on as Funko Pops have.
My suggestion would be to tweet at NYCC or ask them on Facebook. Otherwise, ask a Staff member on site when you go pick up your badge. If his name isn't on the app then that's because it hasn't been updated, could be on the show floor, or maybe canned his appearance/super last minute addition.
My pleasure!
1. Not sure what all the pro perks are but I do know that the panels at the Schwartzman NY Public Library building on Thursday are only for pros. I think there are other panels too that are for pros only at the Javits Center but don't quote me on it.
Update on these questions:
This is a frequently asked questions in the Autographing virtually every 5-10 minutes lol. The answer is always yes, they do have prints available for purchase up front that you can buy to get signed. You can also bring your own personal items to sign and Crew will walk down the lines with post it notes and Sharpies if you want it personalized. That being said, generally it's one item per autograph i.e. if you want to get two things signed by Hamill, be prepared to shell out $600. It's cash only; ATM's are by the entrance of the 1-B area and there's Chase ATM's on 1-D and by the Crystal Palace entrance if that's your bank.
Shared exclusives means that retailers will be selling them as well. Here's a link with a full list: https://funko.com/blogs/news/2017-nycc-shared-exclusives
Main stage you need to get swiped in the morning beforehand. Offsite events you need Gonen swiped as you enter. Everything else just walk in.
We were let into the room with the costumes/props, but after a minute or two a wanted poster popped up on screens around the room featuring the face of one of the attendees in the room with us (remember, they took everyone's photo). Soon after Stormtroopers rushed in followed by Kylo Ren and they started asking about the girl in the wanted picture. Then resistance soldiers appeared and Kylo Ren force pushed one of them against a wall (

At some point during this a life sized BB-8 rolled in and other resistance soldiers ushered the girl out of a hidden panel.
Eh, maybe I went too far by calling it corny. It was fun. The main thing that dragged it down was that everyone had their phones out to take pictures of the props, so they just kept them out when the actors came in and barely even reacted to what was going on. The life sized BB-8 was definitely the highlight.
