I heard about this while at SDCC and checked it out online and it looks fun. Has anyone ever attended this before, and if you have what tips or past experience can you share.

All I know is I wanna go! But it's too close to Thanksgiving. So exciting that Funko will be there. I believe Priscilla (ValorandVellum) from the Funatics board will also have a booth there.
Also-calendar link added!

Well think I am going to try this out in November. Lineup looks great so far.
-
I heard that Mondo is going to be there too. My wallet isn’t as excited as I am by that news.

I'm already going to the Doctor Who Day at Disneyland on the 18th, so I might go to this on Saturday. Just need to add a day to my hotel reservation. ;D
-
We'll be there! Very excited!
-
Maybe we can plan dinner at the Marriott like we do during WC.

That's kind of what we are doing. We were already planning a holiday Disneyland trip, so we're making our trip the week of DesignerCon.

LOL, that's what we do for WonderCon!

Yeah, it's perfect! We started doing that when we started going to WonderCon too. We bought annual passports during our WonderCon 2018 visit because we knew that we wanted to go more this year (our kids have never been during Halloween time and none of us have been there during Christmas). We'll be going again just before WonderCon 2019 (just before it expires).

designercon We are exactly 30 days away from the biggest @designercon to date. We couldn’t be happier to have @officialfye joining us as one of our sponsors this year. Recently @officialfye have been releasing a ton of Designer Toys through there store with artist like @gummifetus @deadzebrainc @ronenglishart and many more. Make sure you check out their booth #2200 for some must have exclusives this Dcon.

ok- i'm in
but haven't got tix yet
opinions (remember student budget):
just Sat for $20
add party for $35 OR
add Sun for $15 OR
no party or sunday OR
VIP
obviously- i'm not into the exclusives-
are folks interested in a meet up?

Good to see some familiar faces going to DCon! At the very least, I will be attending on Friday and Saturday.
After I "rush" the floor on Saturday morning, I'm free to do a meetup :)
-
I bought tickets, still on the fence about going though. I'll be on the east coast at that time in November, not sure if I'll want to pay holiday airfare prices yet, will probably have to wait for some more previews to slip out that sell me.

obviously- i'm not into the exclusives-
I can't speak for the party, but I've noticed that VIP badges have been up for the entire time that they have been on sale. I have a feeling there will be tons of VIP, so I'm not sure the "early access" is going to be worth the VIP charge if you aren't into exclusives.
I could have swore they said that ticket prices will raise at a certain point in November. They mentioned it on their Instagram feed, but I can't seem to find it anymore. They may have changed their mind, but just something to note in case it is still in effect.
-
I'm having the feeling I'll just buy a Sat tix. And leave early afternoon on Sunday-
unless a 'friend meetup' happens /always interested in all-u-can-eat BBQ ;) /

We did just Saturday, I felt like 1 day would be enough. We didn't do the party. We might be open to a meetup! Depends on when though since we are planning some other stuff while we're in town (Disneyland, etc).

it's done-
i got a VIP so i'll be arriving Friday for vip nite & leaving on sunday
LOL the mondo booth may or may not have played a huge part in my decision.
I believe the Marriott hotel has a buffett, it's like $25 per person. to my mind it was worth it
I don't think they take reservations. [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] what happened during WC?
if we can't get reservations then, we'll all have to meet at a specific time & wait for a table - there might be some wiggle room but essentially I think that is the deal. the marriott is just so simple and good-
-
I set up a contract with the restaurant for WC and guaranteed a certain total dollar amount.
If you only have a few people, you should be able to just show up.

I'll be honest, Mondo (and prints) are my main reason of wanting to go. Seems like a few DesignerCon veterans are in their feelings about the addition of so many non-designer-toy artists, but it seems like a perfect combination to me.
That being said, wouldn't it be crazy if Mondo pulled a fast one and only brought items for their toy lineup?! Haha! :o

Mondo recently went to a Gaming Convention and only took their games +1 nongaming print.
I wouldn't think their booth focusing on the figures would be that out of the question.

This is my first time going to Designer Con and I am looking forward to the experience.

Me either, but Danger keeps telling everyone to go to DesignerCon this year since Mondocon is on hold until next year. He says it jokingly of course, but with the number of Mondo artists in attendance, I'm hoping they bring a nice selection of prints. Maybe we'll get the S&V Jackie Brown that evaded us at Comic Con this year.
Speaking of their non-gaming print, I wish they would do a SDCC poster like they did for GenCon this year, gig-poster style.

designercon Our third artist billboard belongs to world renowned muralist @tristaneaton. This billboard is located on Melrose Ave. and Fairfax Ave. huge shout out to @tristaneaton for illustrating this billboard with his iconic style.

I don't completely agree with the analogy- it's a much closer stretch from design (designer con) to posters then it is from a gaming to posters. if that makes any sense
thx for posting that pic of the billboard [member=2163]AzT[/member] - that'd stop me in the street to take a closer look

thx for the tag- I'm not loving the selection tho. /sigh/ I'll look at that Bruce lee live tho & make up my mind then. I think i'd like it better if it was a 18x24 or 11x17
i'm not tiki fan all tho they look good- that iron giant is cool looking but not me.
-
The RJB mug is super nice, but I'm not a tiki fan either.
If you are looking for some smaller space-saving prints, Jason Edmiston's Eyes Without A Face series might be worth looking into. I will say though his line is always insane, so if you are looking to pick anything up from him, make it your first stop. (https://www.instagram.com/jasonedmistonart)
I'll probably end up skipping this year, I just can't justify the holiday-travel time from the East Coast. Glad Mondo revealed stuff early, made the decision much easier!

[member=1]alyssa[/member], I would be down for Saturday buffet at the Marriott, Friday I guess it depends what time it closes down.
I think the buffett is open to at least 9p
i think we just need to set a time to meet up - Is there any other suggestion for a time? or is 6:30 good- we can do 7p if folks would rather
i don't think the buffet is on tonight-
-
6:30 on Saturday sounds good for a meetup.

Likewise. My first DCon, but certainly not my last.
It presents a sharp contrast from the stress and chaos of a San Diego Comic-Con. DesignerCon was very laid back from my perspective, and I really enjoyed casually strolling the floor and browsing all the amazing artists.
The highlight for me was the 1000toys booth and their 1/6 Synthetic Human Customs show.
This is my last con until SDCC – I cant wait to see you all there!

tbh, Dcon is a lot more then mondo- the other offerings were amazing- i'll post pic's of what i got when i put them into my portfolio sometime this week. I can't linger because Michaels is doing a 70% off framing on friday and Saturday plus i expect to be flat out when school starts back up.

Agreed! You might want to consider attending Mondocon next year when it returns, I think a lot of the artists showed up at DCon this year since Mondocon had been postponed this year. But I agree, lot of great artists were on the roster this year at DCon!!
