My Neighbor Totoro is Coming Back to the Big Screen

 

When Satsuki and her sister Mei move with their father to a new home in the countryside, they find country life is not as simple as it seems. They soon discover that the house and nearby woods are full of strange and delightful creatures, including a gigantic but gentle forest spirit called Totoro, who can only be seen by children. Totoro and his friends introduce the girls to a series of adventures, including a ride aboard the extraordinary Cat Bus, in this all-ages animated masterpiece featuring the voices of Tim Daly, Lea Salonga, and real-life sisters Dakota and Elle Fanning, in early roles.

Brought to you by GKIDS and Fathom Entertainment, Hayao Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro returns to theaters for a limited time from July 11 – 15 as part of Studio Ghibli Fest 2026. Tickets on sale now HERE.

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.

Oh The Horrors Of Obtaining SDCC Badges!

For the past few years, it's been pretty tough to get tickets for SDCC. Today's chance at getting a Badge was easy for some and down right horrible for many others. Like many, when it hit 9am, we got nothing but a white waiting screen which lasted for an hour and 40 minutes before we called it quits since SDCC posted on twitter that all badges were sold out by then. Some people who tried to get in a couple of minutes past 9am were shown another screen that said the waiting rooms were full and that badges are pretty much sold out.

Like so many others we followed their rules and didn't refresh or we'd lose our place in line but they never mentioned anything about the white blank screen on what we should do. Keep waiting or keep refreshing.  We were stuck in limbo after hitting the registration page to reach the waiting room.

Some people commented on Facebook that they were in the waiting room only to never have their number move up in line. Some people got skipped while people further back in line from them got badges and they didn't. Some got thrown out and could never get back in.

With SDCC as big as it is, they should either put in a better server that can handle the traffic or try different types of badges that separates TV/Movie panels & Comic panels/exhibit floor.

It probably wouldn't have been so bad had someone from CCI Customer Service post something on twitter or facebook that if you see a white (waiting/loading) screen to give up because you're never going to get to the waiting room and badges will be gone by the time you even get in etc... It would've save many from patiently waiting just to hear on twitter that everything is sold out and that we basically just wasted an hour + of our lives hoping we get through.

We all know the CCI staff does the best that they can and try to improve the registration process each year but there still needs to be a better way to make things run smoother to get badges.
