Designer Con 2013 Recap - 99 Deaths of Jar Jar Mini Art Show

The 99 Deaths of Jar Jar mini art show at Designer Con 2013.

Designer Con 2013 Recap

Designer Con was held this past weekend in Pasadena, CA. This was a 2-day event. It was definitely bigger than last year. There were tons of good stuff to buy and something for everyone. If you like custom figures, they were pretty much everywhere. There were sofubi, resin, blind boxes, mini art shows, t-shirts and much more. There were quite a few companies and artist that came all the way from Japan. If you weren't able to come this year, definitely make plans to come out next year and save all your money because there's so much good stuff dropping that you'll go home broke.

We hope you like pictures because there will be lots of them posted in this post. We've also split up a few posts such as the 99 Deaths of Jar Jar, The Super Suck-Up 2 and MVH & Paul Kaiju etc.... We are also focusing on a couple of new prototypes that were shown at DCon as well in separate posts.

Tons of Pics after the break...

Comikaze Expo Loot!

It's not a show unless you have exclusives! Well our exclusive pickups were a bit on the lighter side at this show. There was not much vinyl toys at this show besides Funko POP! Figures. There were quite a few exclusives. The main one that a lot of people were after was the Stan Lee Funko POP! Vinyl Figure. The other Funko POP! Exclusives were at Hot Topic and Fugitive Toys. We picked up a cool poster at the Bongo Booth.

Oh yeah and can't forget the Blanka Hello Kitty Plush Exclusive from Toynami.  
 
Overall the show was good. It's still growing. In one day you could see everything and pretty much get everything you want. There's tons of space between each booth and you aren't shuffling like at SDCC.

Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo Recap

This was our first year attending Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo so didn't really know what to expect when we got there. We attended Friday and the line to get in wasn't bad at all. The first picture on the left shows the line waiting to get in to trade in our paper ticket for the actual badge. The 2nd picture on the right is where we are in line to get our badge. Inside you are greeted with the "Welcome to Stan Lee's Comikaze Expo" sign.
After picking up your badge, you head up the escalators to the exhibit hall where you can pick up the show book and wait in line until the show started which was 1PM on Friday.

Lots of Pictures after the break! 

Loot Crate - October - SURVIVE

Totally forgot to post his up but the October Loot Crate Theme was SURVIVE and boy was it filled with pretty much everything Zombie related. This months was probably the heaviest box we received so far. We got an Ewoking Dead T-shirt, Creepy Candy, a button, Zombie Hunter ID Card, Outbreak status Tattoos, Love Your Guts Card and The Zombie Survival Guide. Perfect theme for Halloween!
