Designer Con 2013 Recap - MVH & Paul Kaiju

This was probably one of the biggest event at D-Con that not only took over Paul Kaiju x MVH's booth but pretty much engulfed all the surrounding booths and packed the aisle. 2-days full of drool worthy releases & custom One Offs. This is big when other well-known artists are waiting to hear their numbers get called. A couple of pics is a bit blurry but was taken with a cell phone. Out of the 2 most wanted items we were able to get 1 out of 2 which is great and better than getting nothing. (Anyone want to sell their Sam Heinous Head?)

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.

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!
