Max Toy Booth 233 Designer Con 2023 Dcon

Hi Guys ! This Friday and Saturday is the last Dcon in California (as if moves to Las Vegas next year) And, as the Toy Gods have deemed it I wrecked my back moving boxes preparing for Dcon ๐Ÿ™ Don’t worry, I’m improving but can not attend Dcon.

But, Max Nagata will be there with our exclusives (see below) and nice selection of customs ! If you’re going be sure to stop by and say “Hi” to Max and to make sure he’s doing ok ๐Ÿ˜‰

Max Toy Booth 233 , along side Sunguts (234), Monster Patrol and Marusan (235)! Also look for Frank Mysterio in our booth on Sunday !

Exclusives include Ultraman & Gomess (from the Shin Ultraman movie), each sold separately, CAMO Gerald Okamura !

Max Toy Updates

I’m way behind on a few updates so will do my best to catch up here… First off Thank You so much to everyone who came out to see Gerald Okamura, buy his figure, get a autograph and picture. We had a great turn out and Gerald is a masterful storyteller ! I posted a brief clip view my Instagram: maxtoyco which is pretty funny ;-P

Only a few figures and prints are left exclusively via Japanese American National Museum web store : https://janmstore.com/collections/kaiju-vs-heroes Scroll down to the bottom.

I also gave a tour of my exhibit “Kaiju vs Heroes” for museum members. Always glad to inform people about Japanese toys ๐Ÿ˜‰

also had some nice Press for the show … KORE media

and here in San Francisco, nice article from Nichi Bei Weekly newspaper.

In a few weeks, should be able to announce something about the exhibit but for now must remain silent ;-P

Max Toy Dcon Wrap Up 2018

Fantastic Dcon ! Thank you for all the kind words and support !! I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the fans who came up to say “Hello” and who saw the “Kaiju vs Heroes” exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum !! When we were planning the museum exhibit, it was my hope that if anything my story would inspire people to pursue their dreams and that you can do it !

We sold out of almost everything we brought … have only x3 Kanegon and x3 glow Otters so will post them later today. A few customs will post as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

The bigger Dcon venue allowed for more room for the crowds which was nice and of course more vendors. I wish I had more time to just wander the con and didn’t get to connect with everyone I wanted too .. but we’ll be back next year ๐Ÿ˜‰ So many talented artists at the show .. I highly recommend attending next year if you can.

Here’s a few misc pictures with my booth mates Sunguts, Blobpus, DaiKaiju Salon ( Kobeni-chan), Suzuki and Doug Hardy ( Cat Magic Toys ) !

Visited the exhibit with the Japan crewย  ๐Ÿ˜‰

Below: We had the honor of having the Legendary Martial Artist and Actor, Gerald Okamura at our booth. We sold out of the first Man of Many Weapons Sofubi and had a great signing event ! Look for a new release January 6th, 2019 at the Japanese American National Museum, with another signing and on stage interview with Gerald ! See the museum web site for more details !!
