All ticket holders for DesignerCon 2024 will experience the convention’s most artist-centric show to date, welcoming back many longtime vendor partners alongside first-time appearances from world-renowned artists and brands. DesignerCon has so far confirmed the attendance of many of the world’s most notable collectibles designers to the 2024 show in Las Vegas, including MEDICOM TOY, PopMart, Good Smile Company, Kidrobot, Mondo, Super7, tokidoki, ROBBi Art, How2Work, The Little Hut, Paradise Toy, Erostika, and Creature Bazaar. Good Smile Company will collaborate with DCon to redesign the show’s mascot in their classic HELLO character style.
Joining the foray of DesignerCon’s lineup of world-famous artists will be Punk Drunkers, Shag, Alex Pardee, and internationally-acclaimed artist and illustrator, Kasing Lung. Lung, the creator behind world-adored character Labubu, will touch down in Las Vegas for his first-ever United States show appearance at DesignerCon to share special products and exclusive work and host an exclusive signing at the event. Lung will further collaborate with DesignerCon to share his signature designs into DCon 2024 attendee badges for all ticket holders, and will additionally design billboards around Las Vegas ahead of the show.
In special collaboration with MEDICOM TOY, eight artists will lend their unique perspectives and signature styles to limited-edition and DesignerCon-exclusive BE@RBRICK designs. Newly announced featured BE@RBRICK artists will include OG Slick, Fafi, and Tara McPherson. Previously announced collaborators to MEDICOM TOY’s BE@RBRICK collection will be TOUMA, Soey Milk, RHYMEZLIKEDIMEZ, The London Police, and Kodone, as Japanese designer toy brand MEDICOM TOY once again returns to DCon for the only event in which the company participates in the United States.
In tandem, DesignerCon, MEDICOM TOY, and Coca-Cola will collaborate to honor the late American artist Keith Haring and his lasting influence with a DCon-exclusive Keith Haring x Coca-Cola BE@RBRICK design. Haring, a staunch believer in art’s accessibility to all audiences, was known for his iconic pop art imagery infused with social and political messaging. Emerging from the New York City graffiti subculture of the 1980s, Haring was mentored by Andy Warhol and went on to develop his signature style of figures in vibrant colors contained within stark black outlines. DCon and MEDICOM TOY will collaborate to celebrate the artist and his lasting influence with a DesignerCon exclusive Keith Haring x Coca-Cola BE@RBRICK design, set to be unveiled for the first time at the November 15-17, 2024 show.
DesignerCon will announce further updates to its slate of vendors, artists, and programming in the coming months.
