Destination Designer Con: J*RYU

  • by

Days before Designer Con, we are seeing some eye candy revealed. All the artists are burning the midnight oil it seems to pump out tons of amazing work, and J*RYU is one of them. Jess just let us know that he will be releasing his “Vita Nova” Dunnys at the convention. These custom gems are limited to a small number of only 40 in celebration of his birthday, and they will cost $120 each. You can find these at Spanky Stokes’ booth #301. Jess will also at the con, so look for a signing time too.

Destination Designer Con: DrilOne

 

DrilOne has got his minions polished, painted, and prepared for DCon this Saturday.  Drils appears to be bringing a brand new rusty creation with 10 differing colors for the fans coming to the convention. Not too much news as of yet, but be sure to check back  for more info.  Also, we know he has a custom Peacemaker and a Visighost all set for the Circus Posterus booth #500. I do think Alex has some trick and treats up his sleeves for us, so keep a watchful eye.

Destination Designer Con: Furrybones!

Misaki the artist behind Furrybones is heading to Designer Con! Designer Con has more awesome than Barney Stinson could imagine. First up, Furrybones will have the “Scorchie” posters seen above. These are limited to 25 in purple and 25 in sepia.

The Squeed Rockets are a nice DCon exclusive. There are only 5 versions in various colors., so these will not last long.

Who knows what other Furrybones characters she might bring along with her, but we do know, the Underbedz (image below) are most definitely making an appearance at the con. Look at them conspiring around a fire pondering mischief!

Misaki and all the Furrybones creations will be at booth #516 this Saturday Nov. 3.

Get your steam powered rifles ready or a slingshot because at this year’s Designer Con, Doktor A will be releasing the last few pieces of his fine art prints from Killer Targets. There were only 50 of these made, and Dok is gracious to bring the last 9 to the con. That is correct, only 9 will be there.
Each print is 11″ x 17″, signed and numbered for $30 each. These will make you go “pew pew pew” all the way home. Dok A will be at the awesome Circus Posterus booth #500.

Destination Designer Con: DKE Garage Sale

  • by


This weekend marks the 4th annual DKE Graveyard and Garage Sale with proceeds going to Los Angeles Fire Department “Spark of Love” Holiday Toy Drive. 

A “Graveyard and garage Sale” by DKE is exactly what you might think it is. It is broken, smudged, discarded, bent, parts, tossed, bits, pieces, and random assortments of toys and such. You might find a head here and a body there, but this makes perfect fodder for customizing and more. Last year I got two Red Birds for $5 and they had just slight dings in them. They will also have boxes of loose action figures and more. So get ready to dig and and have fun, but this is one day only!

This all goes down Nov. 3

In keeping with DesignerCon tradition, two collectible coins will be up for grabs to commemorate the event and this year features original art from Brandt Peters and Kathie Olivas! Inspired by the coins placed on the eyes of the deceased to cross the Acheron in Greek mythology, the ‘Death Coins’ feature Stingy Jack and Calliope Jackalope on one side, and candies on the other (you may recall seeing candies placed on eyes in some of KO’s paintings).

The 1.5″ metal coins retail for $20 per set and there are 100 sets in total. Grab some for good luck at booth #100! DesignerCon kicks off Nov. 3rd for one day only at the Pasadena Convention Center in lovely Pasadena, CA.

Kathie Olivas’s Calliope Jackalope Sofubi is Coming to DesignerCon!

In and among the myriad of exciting new Tomenosuke + CP sofubi releases emerging at this year’s DesignerCon is Kathie Olivas’s long-awaited Calliope Jackalope #1. First seen as a prototype at Monsters & Misfits II last April, this beautiful little lady will debut in a robin’s egg blue colorway and is limited to just 120 pieces at $95ish a pop. Similar to Brandt’s Toxic Marshmallow Stingy Jack, which is also releasing at the Con, roughly half of the edition will be available and the remainder will then be divvied up between Tomenosuke-syoten and Stranger Factory for online sales later on. CP forum members, watch the boards for a lottery announcement!

Circus Posterus will have an entire booth dedicated to the Tomenosuke+CP line of sofubi at this year’s DesignerCon (#500), so be sure to stop by and check out the goods for yourself if you’ve yet to get your paws on some vinyl goodness. We have more exciting announcements in the pipeline, so don’t wander too far!

Thanks to this lovely Instacrack teaser:

DrilOne looks to be reworking one of Brand Peters‘ Peace Makers. Now what convention is close by that this may show up at? I think we will see the full on finished custom in all it’s glory at Designer Con.
