Last month Star Wars Celebration wrapped up their 2025 show which for the second time ever, the first being in 2008, was held in Japan at the Makuhari Messe Convention Center in Chiba, Japan. After a year off from their 2023 Europe show this convention was unique as it was the second show in a

From unique and exceptional designs to highly detailed and elaborate costumes comic conventions are the place to go to see fans dress up in their favorite characters whether it be from established characters, niche fandom, the newest fad, and everything in between. I absolutely love seeing people put effort into their costumes and love grabbing
Over the past few years roaming the halls of comic cons I’ve began to see a new trend of companies offering pop-culture themed clothing. I have even begun dedicating some of my convention coverage solely on this genre at both New York Comic Con and San Diego Comic-Con. One of these companies is RSVLTS. As
Rounding out my coverage from the 2025 New York Toy Fair is a recap of just four companies. Bur these aren’t just any companies these are some of the biggest and best brands in the toy industry. LEGO and Mattel are the top two companies by revenue while Spin Master is the most nominated company
A bit of a combination article as I’ll be combining my Getting Hot article, where I cover companied that have the potential to make it big along with my general round-up of the show floor where I freely roam the floor looking to see if anything catches my eye.Two companies that continue to stand out
Board gaming has become a staple of my coverage over the years and with many companies producing games based on hugely popular properties it only makes sense to cover some of these games. Walking down the toys section at Target reveals a huge selection of games, not just licensed games but plenty of great original
Considering how big Jazwares has become and given the fact that at Toy Fair they held a separate collectors event with special reveals I figured it only makes sense to give them their own showcaseAs I’ve previously noted in other coverage Jazwares is now one of the largest toy companies in the US. They are
Now that the showcase articles are out of the way it’s time to have a more collectibles focused article. While there is no shortage of companies in this space the amount that attend Toy Fair does change over the years and the amount of product they bring can also vary from year to year. Additionally,
As I've mentioned many times in the past one of my favorite brands to cover is Hasbro.Within the action figure and toy community there are only a few companies with the breadth of properties that Hasbro can display. The company offers-up everything from toys, games, figures, and roleplay items across almost every brand they own
After a near three year wait and then a eighteen month hiatus the New York Toy Fair returned not only to a more familiar February (March) time slot but also back to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. For those that recall that The Toy Association announced at the end of the September 2023 Toy

Recently The Toy Insider held their annual Holiday of Play industry event at Current in Pier 59 at Chelsea Piers in New York City.

Finishing up my coverage of the San Diego Comic-Con exhibit floor I’ll be looking at some of the many collectibles companies from the floor. As I mentioned earlier in my Figures and Statues article some of the companies here can fit in there and some of the companies here can fit in there but I

Continuing my coverage of the San Diego Comic-Con exhibit floor I’ll next be looking at some of the Artists and Art Galleries on the Comic-Con floor. Many of the regular movie poster companies and artists were back to exhibiting on Comic-Con show floor. There is a artist alley section at SDCC but as normal I
Continuing my coverage of the San Diego Comic-Con exhibit floor I’ll next be looking at some of the companies bringing larger scale Statue and Figure pieces to Comic-Con. I usually wrap these types of booths into my overall collectibles coverage and I likely should do that here but that article is getting long, even for
Switching up from after hour events, offsites, panels, and experiences it’s now time to get to the meat of my coverage – the San Diego Comic-Con exhibit floor.One of my favorite aspects of any convention is the show floor but with hundreds if not even a thousand booths showing off everything from toys, collectibles, movie,
At most conventions offsites and activations act as an alternate means to promote a studios content outside of the show floor. These experiences can vary widely; some can end up being a simple photo-op, others tend to me more elaborate activations, while others are more chill lounging experiences. However all of them generally have one
After attending conventions for more than a decade things tend to get a bit stale if you don’t occasionally branch out and change up your convention routine. In the past my main focus when attending conventions was the general thrill and excitement of running around the show floor collecting the highly sought after convention exclusives
After last years writers’ strike basically decimated all TV and movie panel programming in 2024 San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) was finally able to return to a pretty normal programmed convention bringing in hundreds of hours of content throughout their four day event covering all forms of fandom. Studios again brought content for their latest TV
The yearly mecca of all Comic Cons – San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) - has come and gone but as has become standard I am here to give a little taste of everything I saw during this four day show. One of the things I really enjoyed from my round-up coverage of New York Comic Con
This week The Toy Insider held their annual summer Sweet Suite showcase. Unlike other Sweet Suite’s where there is often a mix of attending companies because of the lack of a Toy Fair this year’s Sweet Suit seemed to feature more companies than any other year I’ve attended. On top of familiar faces like LEGO,
After having moved around the first few years and taking a two year hiatus due to COVID Five Points Festival finally, in my opinion, has finally established its identity and settled into a groove. Stably situated for the third year at Zerospace in Brooklyn the festival has become more than just a two day convention
