DesignerCon Pasadena 2026 - Walkthrough, Recap, & Thoughts!
DesignerCon is back in Pasadena… and honestly, it felt really good to be home. Join me on this walkthrough as I ramble on about some of the booths I visited.
Las Vegas is awesome and there is no denying that it is the bigger show, but there is something special about DesignerCon returning to Pasadena. The smaller hometown feel, the familiar faces, the chance to really stop and talk with artists, friends, and collectors… it brought back that nostalgic energy that made early DesignerCon feel so special.

Chibi Stroll Plush... I need your help!
What's up Reddit! After years of creating grumpy monsters, customs, artwork, and building the Stroll universe… I’m beyond excited to officially launch the very first Chibi Stroll Plush through a crowdfunding campaign with Gimme Swag! And if you’ve followed Stroll over the years… you’ll probably notice something immediately - for the first time ever… Stroll is actually smiling.
Now here’s the big part… This plush will ONLY go into production if at least 100 supporters back the campaign before May 29, 2026… which means we have just 10 days to make this happen. The cool part? You only need to pledge $2 right now to reserve yours.
OHKU Giggle Monster Furry Forest Series Unboxing | Vinyl Plush Blind Box
Today we are diving into the super cute and cozy world of OHKU with the new Giggle Monster Furry Forest Series vinyl plush blind boxes. This series is all about soft textures, dreamy forest energy, and those ridiculously adorable little creatures that feel like they were made to be desk buddies, collectibles, or the perfect gift... I might be a bit biased because those monsters wearing the costumes remind me of Stroll <3
