DESIGNER CON 2019 (Nov 22-24)

The 2019 Edition of the annual DESIGNER CON opens its doors for VIP and MVP ONLY on Friday, November 22nd, and exhibits thru the weekend of Saturday 23rd thru to Sunday 24th. This event is essentially the "last" big-scaled "convention"-slash-gathering of the design and toy-scene in the Western part of the world, for the year ending 2019... well, at the least this blog is aware of. This event as well parallels the exact same weekend of Tokyo Comic Con 2019 (Nov 22-24), held at the Makuhari Messe International (Exhibition Halls 9 + 10 + 11).

Happening within the Exhibition Halls C & D at the Anaheim Convention Center (800 W. Katella Avenue Anaheim CA 92802), the opening hours are:

VIP Only Friday 5pm-9pm
Saturday 10am – 7pm
(Doors Open at 9am for VIP’s on Saturday).
Sunday 10am – 6pm

Admission is via Ticketed Entry, for which you can purchase online here at US$30 per 1-Day Pass, US$45 fo 2-Day Pass. (VIP = US$80 for 3-Day Pass / MVP = US$200)

DesignerCon 2019 is touted to showcase "700 vendors", and features "300+ artists" over 2 + 1 days. And while I've featured tons of toynews on TOYSREVIL thus far, I have as well Instagrammed a number of finds, for which I am showcasing here today in this post.

Meanwhile, stay connected to their Insta @designercon for updates! ENJOY!
