All of the Pokémon Loungefly backpacks on sale during October Prime Day

Loungefly Pokemon Holiday Pikachu Mini Backpack
(save $44.51)

Loungefly Pokémon Eevee Mini Backpack
(save $31.01)

A binder stuffed with rare full art trainers isn't the only form of a Pokémon collection. For those who don't do TCG, a closet full of Loungefly backpacks for every outfit is just as much of a status symbol in the fandom. And compared to Pokémon cards, these backpacks are way easier to find in stock and on sale during Amazon events like Prime Big Deal Days.
The iconic mini leather backpacks typically retail for between $80 and $90, but you can snag several Pokémon-stitched iterations between $50 and $70 as of Oct. 7. Fans of Eevee evolutions have the most options right now, though we wouldn't be surprised if more options dropped throughout the day on Oct. 8. (This Meowth backpack was 50% off earlier on Oct. 7 and could easily hit $39.99 again.) We're keeping track of the Loungefly Pokémon backpack deals below, as well as a running list of other Amazon deals on other Pokémon merch throughout the sale.

Select immersive NBA games coming to the Apple Vision Pro
Apple Vision Pro users will be able to experience select NBA games in an immersive way for the 2025-26 season, Apple announced on Friday.
Some Los Angeles Lakers matches will be in Apple Immersive video, a format specifically for the headset. The company's release states, "Viewers will feel the intensity of each game as if they were courtside, with perspectives impossible to capture in traditional broadcasts. "
A schedule of Lakers matchups that can be watched immersively will come later this fall, and the first game will stream in early 2026. They'll be filmed with a camera called the URSA Cine Immersive Live camera from Blackmagic Design, which launched earlier this year to capture Apple Immersive videos.
The immersive games will be available through the upcoming Spectrum SportsNet App for fans in the team's regional broadcast territory: Southern California, Hawaii, and parts of southern Nevada, including Las Vegas. Users must run visionOS 26 or later to experience Apple Immersive video, and a subscription to Spectrum broadband or SportsNet is required to use the SportsNet app, according to the fine print.
On both the SportsNet and NBA apps, full game replays and highlights will be available to Vision Pro users in select regions and countries. Spectrum subscribers can also watch live and replay traditional game broadcasts with the Spectrum TV app, and if you have an NBA League Pass, you can do the same on the NBA app.
Last year, Apple dropped several immersive videos for the Vision Pro, including the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.

All the New York Comic-Con TV and movie announcements you need to know

Following San Diego Comic-Con this summer, New York Comic-Con brought even more exciting announcements. Here's a running list of TV and movie trailer drops and sneak peeks you need to know about.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a prequel to Game of Thrones, taking place a century before the events of the original series. Based on novellas by George R.R. Martin, A Knight of Seven Kingdoms will follow shabby knight Sir Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).
How to watch: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premieres January 18 on HBO Max.
Marvel's Wonder Man miniseries teaser
Marvel dropped a teaser for Wonder Man, an eight-episode miniseries. The trailer is pretty meta, with talk of an in-universe reboot of a Wonder Man movie. "I know your question is, 'Why one more superhero film?'" a reclusive director character says in an interview. "Everyone is tired of superheroes" — saying what many fans watching the teaser must be thinking. According to Entertainment Weekly, the series itself will be pretty meta as well, with the actual hero auditioning to be the movie version of Wonder Man.
"Have you given any thought about casting?" the interviewer asks, with the final shot of the teaser being Wonder Man (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) staring at his phone, watching.
On Marvel's website, it states that Wonder Man premieres in December, but Entertainment Weekly reported that it's shifted to January.
How to watch: Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ in January 2026.
Invincible Season 4 gets a release date
At SDCC in July, creator Robert Kirkman updated fans about Invincible Season 4, like that Matthew Rhys will be voicing Dr. David Anders/Dinosaurus. Kirkman also revealed that Grand Regent Thragg, ruler of the Viltrum Empire, would debut — and now as of NYCC, we know who will voice him: Lee Pace, Variety reported. An entire trailer dropped, as well as a release date (March).
How to watch: Invincible Season 4 premieres on Amazon Prime in March 2026.
Mercy trailer drops
Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson star in this new sci-fi movie, Mercy, from Amazon MGM, releasing in January. "Mercy" is an advanced AI who acts as judge, jury, and executioner according to the trailer. (Not totally terrifying or topical at all!) Pratt plays Detective Raven, who helped develop the program, now on trial for murdering his wife. If he can't prove his innocence in 90 minutes to Mercy (Ferguson), the AI will kill him.
How to watch: Mercy will be released in theaters on January 23.
The Vampire Lestat extended first look
The Vampire Lestat, Season 3 of the AMC+ Interview With The Vampire adaptation, takes a bite at Anne Rice's second book in her Vampire Chronicles series. While Interview focused on Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Jacob Anderson) journey from human to vampire, The Vampire Lestat stars his (former) vampiric lover, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) — in case the title didn't make that obvious. While the first trailer dropped last year at SDCC, fans will have to wait until next year for the entire season to drop, so AMC+ must've felt merciful to give fans an extended look at the 2025 NYCC.
How to watch: The Vampire Lestat premieres in 2026 on AMC+.
Check back for more developments as NYCC continues.
