Neopets Hosts Fantastic Booth and Exclusive Party at San Diego Comic-Con!

Los Angeles, CA - (June 21, 2023) Neopets, the original virtual pet site that galvanized a generation of online gamers, is about to make waves at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con! Neopets is not only bringing a fantastic booth to San Diego: they’ll also be celebrating their devoted community with a once-in-a-lifetime Neopets Era Party that the Neopian Times will be writing about for decades to come!

Neopets will be setting up shop at San Diego Comic-Con from Wednesday, July 19th to Sunday, July 23rd at booth #1129. Attendees can purchase exclusive, never-before-seen merchandise, meet The Neopets Team, purchase bespoke art prints signed by a TNT artist, and connect with special guest Erinn Pascal, Editor of Neopets: The Official Cookbook. And for one night only, lucky fans will have an exclusive chance to experience Neopia like never before at the Neopets Era Party, an immersive community event at Deck665 on Friday, July 21st.

“We can’t wait to celebrate with our dedicated players and fans,” said Michaela Thompson, Chief Brand Officer, Neopets. “We are so indebted to our wonderful community who have supported Neopetsthrough the years; what better way to show our appreciation than to throw a Neopets SDCC party for the ages?”

The fully immersive throwback bash will time warp back to an era when dial-up internet, chat rooms and the Neoboards reigned supreme. Come party with The Neopets Team and connect with other fans in person as we celebrate the past, present, and future of Neopets with a live DJ, Neopian-themed food and drinks, photo-ops, and swag bags full of exclusive merch! General admission tickets can be picked up at the Neopets booth, but a select number of VIP Tickets will be available to win—giveaway details coming soon. Capacity is limited and general admission tickets will be admitted on a first come, first serve basis.

Neopets Era Party attendees can expect an authentic Neopian experience, complete with a sneak preview of what’s in store for the future of Neopets:
● Date: Friday, July 21, 2023
● Time: 7:30 - 11:30 PM (PST)
● Location: Deck 655 (655 W Broadway, San Diego, 92101)

“It’s been an incredible experience bringing the world of Neopets to our own through merchandising and we can’t wait to be able to take things even further with the Neopets Era Party,” said Carlin West founder & CEO of Carlin West Agency. “Having our partners all in one place to see the fan reaction in person is a worthwhile celebration on its own.”

Fans will be treated to a fabulous blast of “Neostalgia” at the Neopets San Diego Comic-Con booth. The Neopets Team is excited to meet and greet fans at Booth #1129, which will be jam-packed with a variety of swag available for purchase, including:

DesignerCon 2015 Recap!!!

DesignerCon has come and gone but what an AMAZING show this year! The turnout for DCon this year was insane. We've been attending DCon since it was Vinyl Toy Network/Qeeology. We usually take breaks back to the parking garage to unload etc... and usually there are still spaces but boy were we wrong this year. Instead, we would get stalked by other cars hoping that we would leave which we eventually shattered their parking dreams when we would tell them we weren't leaving. This happened not just on Saturday but on Sunday as well. Walking in certain areas of the exhibit hall felt a bit like SDCC. There were more vendors this year. Every space utilized. The Stage moved to another area outside the exhibit hall.
