Collected Con Los Angeles 2026
DesignerCon Returns to Pasadena in June
Recently announced was DesignerCon returning back to its roots in Pasadena on Father's Day weekend, June 20-21, 2026. This show will bring back the focus of the smaller companies and artists that made DesignerCon a success. It was a small community of artists and companies that really embraced the designer and indie art toy scene from low brow art to graffiti culture and everything else in-between. DCon Pasadena was THE SHOW to be at to get your art and work seen.
As DesignerCon grew, it outgrew the Pasadena Convention Center and needed a bigger venue to fit everyone that wanted to exhibit and to allow more people to attend. They moved to Anaheim before leaving California to Las Vegas a couple of years ago. Dcon Las Vegas will still take place in November and will still be the bigger show out of the two.
We are looking forward to DCon coming back to where it all started. Those were some of the best times especially when the designer toy scene was taking off. Meeting up with other collectors that we would bump into at other shows and matching message board names to faces. So much nostalgia and good times with a lot of great people in the designer toy community.
We hope to see some of the OG collectors that we haven't seen in a few years, come out to DCon Pasadena. You can purchase tickets for Dcon Pasadena HERE.

Super7 Peanuts Holiday Fun! Fun! Vinyl Figures
Super7 originally released their Peanuts Holiday Fun! Fun! Vinyl figures via Walmart as their exclusive. Our local Walmarts sucked and never got them. Their online store had most of them out of stock but a couple of weeks ago Super7 added them to their online store so we gladly snatched these up. Most if not all are still available as of this posting. They are 5-inches tall. Retail is $20 each or you can purchase the set of 6 for $120 via Super7’s online store.
Here’s all 6 figures out of their boxes. Really cute and affordable.

DesignerCon 2025 Recap
DesignerCon 2025 took place November 14-16, 2025 at The Expo at World Market Center in Las Vegas. This year marked DesignerCon's 20th Anniversary. How has it been 20 years? We've been attending DCon since their days in Pasadena and then to Anaheim as the show kept growing every year. This year had more exhibitors and a lot more attendees compared to last year.
Kaleidos Creative x Dcon The Official Launch Party took place Thursday night, November 13th at Notoriety. Photos can be seen HERE.
Custom Kairos at Dcon can be seen HERE.
Custom Vans Shoes can be seen HERE.
Here's more pictures from DesignerCon 2025 HERE.
DesignerCon 2025 was awesome! Medicom, Punk Drunkers, How2Work, 3D Retro, GSF, MVH, Sunguts, Creature Bazaar, Paul Kaiju, Toy Art Gallery, My Plastic Heart, ToyQube, Leen Customs, Pretty Done, Rokimoto and so many more. If you haven't made it to Dcon since they moved to Vegas, make sure to save the dates for November 13-15, 2026. See you next year!!!
Kaijufornia Vol. 2 Recap
Kaijufornia Vol.2 took place on September 27th, 2025 at Bear Cave CCG in Northridge, CA. We were in So Cal and decided to check it out while we were down there. We were unable to attend last year's show. It was a chill event with a small group of local toy makers such as The Beast is Back, Uh-Oh Toys, Secret Handshake Toys and more. If you are in So Cal, this is a show that you should attend. Easy to get what you want with minimal crowds and lines. No date has been announced for next year yet but we will keep you posted when we find out. In the meantime, check out our pics above for a slideshow of what you missed.
LA Comic Con 2025 Recap
LA Comic Con was held September 26-28, 2025 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. We haven't been back in quite a few years. The show really has expanded using different halls for the artist alley, Horror Zone, Akiba Station and the main hall with a variety of exhibitors such as Refreshment Toy, Saturday Morning Cards, Dave & Busters and many more. One bit of advice is that if you need to park your car in one of the convention center parking lots, you really need to arrive early. Finding a parking lot with available space can be very hard. There are third party parking lots but note that they charge more than the convention center parking and even raise the price throughout the morning when they know people are desperate for parking.
This show has really grown over the years and have a lot of different exhibitors compared to other shows such as Door Dash with their Giant Door Dash Bag giving out surprise gifts. You don't know what they will give you. Some people won iPads, Funko pops, external hard drive, gaming controllers, gift cards etc...or you can get a dud like a twinkie which someone did get and was not happy after having to wait in line. The wait in line did take a long time. Maruchan was also exhibiting at LACC and they had free sample flights of their noodles. The line for that was super long too. Yakult and Kopiko were there giving out free samples. If you live in the LA or So Cal area and haven't experienced LACC, you should. If you are local, rideshare would be your best bet to avoid parking headaches. Thank you LACC for inviting us. As of this posting, the dates for next year's LA Comic Con has not been announced yet. Check out our photo coverage above to see what you missed out on this year.

Sega Pop-Up Shop Visit
A few weeks ago we got the change to visit the Sega Pop-Up Shop in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The Pop-up was open June 27th to July 27th. They had exclusives that you could only get in Japan. When we stopped by a lot of what they had were sold out like the Dreamcast bag that was in the shape of the console. Picked up a Jet Grind Radio 25th Anniversary T-shirt. Overall,it was a cool pop-up with merch that we don't get here in the U.S. Check out some of our pics below of the pop-up.
Super7 Godzilla Station Pop-Up at SDCC 2025 Recap
Super7 always has one of the most creative offsites / pop-ups during SDCC. This year they transformed their San Diego store location into the Godzilla Station. They put up a temporary facade featuring Godzilla attacking the train station and always dope artwork on the side of their store. Inside the pop-up featured exclusive Toho Godzilla merchandise. There were exclusive apparel and collectibles. They had a signing with Director Shinji Higuchi. There were lines every day they were opened for SDCC. By Saturday, the store looked pretty empty. One of the sought after items is the Godzilla Station coin which you could pick up at their booth inside the convention center or at their pop-up. See pics below of their pop-up.
