With New York Comic Con out of the way, the next big toy event in the US has got to be DesignerCon, taking place in Pasadena, California, on November 3. One of the draws of this year's con is the Suckcarnival, in which one lucky player will win a talking Sucklord plush. The press release describes the prize thusly:

Remember when you were a kid and all you wanted to do was win that amazing stuffed animal at the fair? Now's your chance to try your skills at winning something extra extra extra radical. Sure, you might win a headshot of the Sucklord, or maybe a piece of bright pink junk, but you COULD win a talking plush Sucklord. Based on a design by Gary Ham, this little guy will remind you of the actual Sucklord, and with a press of his palm he will spout annoying sayings at you. At least until the batteries die.

As noted in the quote, the plush was birthed from a previous toy designed by Gary Ham (check out Jeremyriad's picture in our gallery to see a comparison). My understanding is that there is only plush made, so that is quite the collectible for the art toy fan. [UPDATE: DKE Toys' Sarah Jo Marks has let us know that there will possibly be multiple winners and the plush will otherwise be available at the event for US$25!]

Look for more DesignerCon coverage leading up to and after the event, right here at Tomopop. Are any of you planning on attending?
