USH FanFest 2026

Universal Studios Hollywood FanFest was back for their 2nd year. FanFest lasts only a few week in April and May on select nights. We had the chance to stop during their opening weekend. It was Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters that attracted us to attend this year. They brought back Dungeons and Dragons and the Colorful Yoshi in Super Nintendo World. New additions this year was the brand new One Piece Grand Pirate Show at the Waterworld location, Harry Potter Forbidden Forest, Sailor Moon Screening and a Jurassic Park / World walkthrough that showed off various vehicles, dinosaurs and movie props as well as really great actors to bring to life the characters from the movies.

Mezco Toyfair Roundup

Mezco was one of the more crowded booths Saturday morning and you can see why, they went in heavy! Between new scary liscenses like The Owl Man from Lord of Tears and the upcoming film La Llorona and classic spooky favorites like Freddy, Jason, Pennywise and Chucky you can't go wrong. A large assortment of comic and movie heroes and villains were on display as part of their One:12 Collective line, featuring cloth uniforms. Also shown are Living Dead Dolls (including the Netflix Sabrina the Teenage Witch,) large MDS Mega figures, Burst A Box, Mez-itz, and a new line of Kenner styled figures called 5 Points. One of the most impressive figures was an enormous eighteen inch figure of King Kong, who rightfully had his own display case. Keep you eyes peeled for two upcoming reviews of Blade and Gomez, the two Toyfair only editions we got to bring home.
