DesignerCon 2022

 

 

In 1 week DesignerCon will be back at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, CA. Get your tickets at DesignerCon.com. This show will have something for just about everyone. Enamel pins, vinyl toys, NFTs, plush, apparel, sofubi, resin, customs, one-offs and so much more. If you're looking for unique gifts for Christmas well this is the place to get them. A lot of your favorite artists and illustrators will be there as well as major toys/collectibles companies such as Medicom, Super7, Kidrobot, Mondo, Tokidoki and more. 

We're excited to finally get back to somewhat of how things used to be before the pandemic. It'll be great to see a lot more familiar faces or half faces (if wearing face masks) of friends and fellow collectors that we haven't seen since 2019.

What we'll see more of this year is digital collectibles / NFTs. The one good thing about digital collectibles is that it doesn't take up physical space. Haven't really looked into it much but really interested in learning more and seeing what they're all about at DesignerCon this year. 

We are looking forward to the Creature Bazaar area featuring some of our favorite sofubi/ Japanese soft vinyl toys as well as Punk Drunkers, The Beast is Back, Leen Customs, Super7, Secret Handshake Toys, 100% Soft, Fairycookies, Patrick Ballesteros, Unbox Industries, Hype Bao and so many more. 

Make sure to follow us on IG! We'll be posting up photos throughout the show!
