MEDICOM TOY to Distribute Commemorative Coins to Booth Visitors
DesignerCon began in 2005 with the vision of Ben Goretsky, owner of the specialty art toy shop "3DRetro," who wanted to create a convention that would bring together art toy collectors and support shop owners.
The first event was held in a small conference room of just 1100 square feet (approx. 102 square meters) at the Pasadena Convention Center in California. However, the scale has expanded year by year, and the hall in Anaheim, California, which became the venue in 2018, now spans over 300,000 square feet (approx. 27,870 square meters). The genres covered are diverse, and it has grown into a show that incorporates everything from apparel and plush toys to prints and sculptures, encompassing the entire world of design.
Last year (2024), the venue was moved to the more convenient location of Las Vegas. Over three days—Friday, Saturday, and Sunday—more than 700 companies and over 350 artists participated, offering not only product sales but also custom shows and live demonstrations.
This year's event will again be held at the same venue in Las Vegas. The biggest highlight, however, is the 20th anniversary of DesignerCon, which started in 2005! Participating companies and artists are said to be preparing anniversary items to commemorate the occasion, so we can look forward to them.
MEDICOM TOY, exhibiting for the eighth time, plans to distribute commemorative coins to booth visitors as a gift campaign (while supplies last). They will also be selling commemorative products for DesignerCon 2025, including the customary bonus BE@RBRICK with "VIP 3-Day Pass" tickets and items available only at the event. Those interested should definitely consider attending from Japan!
