DCON isnt even over and a 1off Miborah from the Gargamel show is already being flipped on ebay. Not surprised but damn, couldn't even wait until the event was over.
There is only one DX Hedorah left at M1GO's table. Flesh vinyl with yellow spray. $340, come adopt it!
No shame, some people. Was pleasantly surprised to see mini Hedo and Bakobas get the full one-off treatment this time. Has that happened recently, or at all before?
Dcon was a blast! I already tapped out, as Preview Night and most of Saturday was about all I could tolerate. I ended up skipping today (Sunday) altogether. I slept over 10 hours straight last night, and while I wish I was there to join in the fun, I'm well-rested and playing with the toys I managed to get for myself! While I missed out on all the MVH, PDS, Izumonster, Illsynapse, Paul Kaiju, and most other hotly-desired toys, I walked away with some really awesome stuff that I am very happy to have!

Didnt go but enjoyed the pictures that have been shared. Really liked seeing Le Merde back with some Hujili Ghosts.
Our booth before the show opened on Friday...all toys sold out. Huge thanks if you stopped by, said hi, collaborated with us on releases, or bought something.
David @animator, watching from IG all weekend, your booth was an absolute highlight for me. You had a beautiful booth, and probably more things I would have wanted than anywhere else. The art on the Doji print is also very nicely done. Please keep doing what you do.
Thank you. Doing this for a second year I set a few goals. The first year(2018 ) I kept it low key, worked with friends, and kinda did a trial run. It was successful and fun. This year I wanted to try and bring a few toys to dcon that weren't available in the US, toys I'd have fun drawing, and selfishly toys I wanted to own myself. I thought about it a lot, put in a lot of work, and thankfully it payed off; both with toymakers saying yes to collaborations and fans supporting what we are doing. I can't say enough praise for the support we were given by the toy community as a whole.
those new sick boy billys... anyone know how they stack up with the ogs, quality-wise? the new ones look shinier, and for some reason, like they won’t develop their tipping problem.
Exceedingly happy with my scores this year (including game of hope). I'm super excited to have finally been able to purchase a samurai doll. I was also very impressed with all of the offerings at the H3 booth. Also stoked to have gotten the last of the monochrome black PDS and Sucklord collaboration. Time to start saving for creature bazaar!
agggh I completely forgot that Samurai Doll was there; I really wanted to get one of those Zatoichis!
I have leftover zines if anyone wants 1. Post-it sketch in every copy. If you have special requests I'll see what I can do.
Quality - wise, they’re great. The joints are tighter, move nicer, and the ice cream is attached to the hand this go, instead of being an “omake” piece. They’re definitely gloss finish, but it’s very, very cleanly done. And there is still a bit of a lean, but they do stand a lot better than the OG’s, so I’m hoping that’s a good sign.
Any D-con vendors posting leftovers today? I imagine most of the good stuff was grabbed up day one, but...
Unfortunately, I lost a good handful of photos during the transfer/editing process. So I sadly do not have additional shots from Blitzkrieg Toys, Bad Omen, more Sour Lemon, Violence Toy and a couple others I can't even remember I shot, but I know there was more. I got a collective 13 hours of sleep over the three days, but it was so worth the deprivation. I'll do/be better at Creature Bazaar. ISH - M1 collab. Spoiler Awesome mini. Synapse Toy - In addition to these three micro runs, there were also three ones offs. The entire lotto was blind bagged. Spoiler Izumonster - Spoiler Kvltvs/Atomica Exotica - Spoiler Nocturnally Geek Me - Spoiler Draculazer - Spoiler Sour Lemon - Spoiler Science Patrols - Spoiler PNL Toy Works - Spoiler Headlock Studio - Spoiler Choke Hazard - Shirahama Toy/Chanoma Gangu - Spoiler Kiyoka HP(*Was not for sale)
Beyond humbled to be grouped amongst these incredible toymakers and artists. Thank you Robert for the great coverage.
Roger, do you know if every artist is asking the same price for the Gorgo preorders? I saw one person post their quote yesterday. Just trying to figure out if I can afford a set. Thanks for your coverage of the event!
