We’re amped for the upcoming fifth New York Comic-Con (October 8th thru the 10th) @ the Javits Center in NYC. This year’s show is bound to the best yet for art toys and counter culture with the addition of ‘The Cultyard’ section featuring a focused block of booths. The new NYCC section builds off the galvanizing success of the Toy Grower’s Cultyard at SDCC and takes things one notch higher with a Cultyard-specific lounge area for unwinding and chatting in between booth crawling for exclusives and signings.
Speaking of booths, this year’s lineup features a strong mix of quintessential brands including 1st time NYCC exhibitors Kidrobot and Tokidoki, NYC stalwarts including myplasticheart and Toy Tokyo, as well as new energetic companies such as RAJE Toys and Monster Worship. Oh and your favorite toy blog (well ok, our favorite toy blog).
There’s alot going on this year from live ‘cubez’ painting from Phetus and Elite Gudz and live DJs in the lounge to the massive Re:Form School art show opening on Saturday, October 9th in a reclaimed school house on Mott Street between Houston and Prince.
With the new show-within-a-show Cultyard, this year’s NYCC is a no-brainer if you live in or around NYC.
