DesignerCon 2012: Susuten

Susuten's booth at DesignerCon was bursting at the seams with Melissa B. Hsu's handmade plushes of assorted sizes and characters. One of the characteristics of Melissa's work that caught my eye was the simplicity of the ...

DesignerCon 2012: Yetis & Friends

Prior to DesignerCon, my knowledge of Yetis & Friends' work was limited to what was available on their Etsy shop. I think their most iconic toys are their yeti plush trophies, which, as one might expect, are plush heads o...

DesignerCon 2012: Nonesuch Garden

Nonesuch Garden's booth at Pasadena's DesignerCon made me quite nostalgic, with her doll house-sized plushes and imaginative elves that look as though they leapt out of a picture book. The wide range of handmade plush animals...

DesignerCon 2012: Bebop Designs and Devilbear

Bebop Designs came to DesignerCon with their Ultra Grunt resin figures. The Ultraman/toy soldier mash-ups were in a multitude of colors and each stood 4 inches tall. It's not totally my cup of tea but an interesting mash-up o...

BeeFy & Co. showed up to DesignerCon, and in tow as their Big Bad Buddha figure. He's still looking pretty big-bellied, but as mentioned before, the DCon exclusive was in a golden colorway. They also had with them a ton o...

DesignerCon 2012: Hyperactive Monkey

DesignerCon was invaded by some sinister ninja monkeys! Oh wait, no, that's just Hyperactive Monkey's booth at the event. They brought with them a new colorway of the Deluxe Ninja Monkey figure, now in a shiny silver paintjob...

DesignerCon 2012: Beary Happy

Beary Happy is an upcoming line of plush toys. Yes, they're mostly bear-themed, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll all be bears. There's even one that's a flying monkey, it seems! And a little girl dressed up in a bear suit, to boot. Check out some of the photos we snapped up from the Beary Happy booth, and stay tuned for any news we've got on the line!

DesignerCon 2012: doubleparlour

The creations of doubleparlour are really ones you'll love ... or hate. They aren't the cuddliest sculptures in the world, and for some, they might be the stuff of nightmares. But to me, there's something interesting about se...

DesignerCon 2012: Bigfoot One

Bigfoot One (also just known as Bigfoot) had himself a booth at DesignerCon, and what else was there but his Fujisan and Forest Warrior pieces? The Forest Warrior in particular seems to have a few new colorways since I last s...

DesignerCon 2012: Wrong Gear

Wrong Gear's main merchandise might be fashion-related, but at DesignerCon, they brought with them a little something to get our attention. That would be Wrongbbit, a resin garage kit limited to 12 pieces available at the sho...

DesignerCon 2012: Silent Stage

Silent Stage Gallery came to DesignerCon with a lot of the same stuff they had at San Diego Comic Con. Thankfully, that also meant Angry Woebots at the booth along with his merchandise. Beyond customs from Woebots like a Pand...
