But one of the biggest surprises is on the Javits Center floor, where one of New York's most famous IRL over-animated figures is making frequent, if unexpected, cameos: Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

The Donald wasn't there in person, of course, but his presence could be felt while walking amongst the show's booths, where a handful of creators had Trump-related wares up for grabs. One of the fastest-selling collectibles of con was "Darth Trump," a Star Wars-spoofing figure that comes complete with a "Sith Steak" and a wall-building "Galactic Brick." Timebandits and Special Ed Toys teamed up to make the figures, which were produced in a limited edition of just 25, and priced at $85 a pop. According to Dov Kelemer of DKE Toys, which sold the figure at the convention, every "Darth Trump" was gone within 35 minutes—meaning not even Trump himself can get one.
