The Sofubi Show Calendar: Superfest 95, NYCC, DesignerCon and More
Show season is coming. The next six months are stacked: Superfest in Tokyo, NYCC in New York, DesignerCon in Vegas, Tokyo Comic Con at Makuhari, then Wonder Festival to kick off 2027. Every date below is pulled straight from the official event pages, so you can book around them. Can not make the flight? Also no problem. Under each show we lined up in stock pieces from the shop, the same kind of stuff that vanishes off con tables before lunch.

Superfestival 95, Tokyo, September 27
The one sofubi heads circle first. Superfest 95 hits the Science Museum in Kudanshita on Sunday, September 27. One day only. General doors at 11:00, priority entry at 10:15 if you pay up, and the whole thing wraps at 4pm. This is where Japanese makers debut lottery colorways and one-offs, and dealer tables already sold out this round. Miss it? Superfest 96 is set for January 10, 2027, same venue.
Closer to home, this Bemon Giant Glow Zagoran Head is exactly the kind of piece that surfaces at a Tokyo show. Unpainted glow in the dark vinyl, oversized scale, limited to a run of 20. Real presence in hand. Loose, like new.

The Japan Wall, Fresh This Week
If Superfest is out of reach, the Japan side of the shop just restocked hard. Start here.
The Marusan Oil Slick 1.5 Hedorah V2 is semi clear vinyl with green and gold glitter mixed right in, plus a slick paint app on top. $44 and it looks way more expensive in hand. The Bullmark x Popy Zanika is classic sofubi, off white vinyl with green, red and more paint, Bullmark stamp on the foot with the Popy ink. Honest note: a bit of red paint inside the right foot, shown in the pics, displays great. And the Shirahama Very Pink Gyoza Kun is very pink vinyl with gold, blue, minty green and more paint. Awesome sofubi. More from Shirahama, Marusan and Bullmark in their brand pages.
Also fresh off the boat: the Zollmen Fleshy Jinmenken Omake at $235 and the Sunguts Unpainted Seafoam Matsutake Wrestler at $19, the cheapest way into Sunguts weirdness we have had in a while.
The Cronic Hand Paint Brush Line Nougaki came in two ways, brown and green, $74 each. Hand painted brush lines, so no two match. Pick a lane or grab both.
Fall and Winter Shows, Verified Dates
New York Comic Con, October 8-11
NYCC takes over the Javits Center for four days, and 2026 marks 20 years of the show. It is not a pure toy con, but the designer toy aisles get stronger every year, and October in New York means horror season. In that spirit: the Kayo Co x Clutter Glow Maniya the Moon Kaiju. Glow in the dark vinyl with green, gold and more paint. Nice hair. Header signed and numbered 1/4, and Clutter is about as New York as designer toys get. If Freddy is more your speed, the Luke Welch Freddy Krueger Snake is $44 and in stock.

DesignerCon Las Vegas, November 13-15
The big one stateside. DesignerCon runs three days at The Expo at World Market Center in Las Vegas, wall to wall indie vinyl, resin and art toys. They also announced a Pasadena show returning May 29-30, 2027, so the DCon calendar is only getting bigger. Pure DCon energy in the shop right now: the Reckless Toys x Mike Sutfin Rust Mad Battle Man. Orange vinyl with reds, bronze, gold and a whole lot more paint, random bits everywhere, the way it is supposed to be. Not neat, not tidy, displays great. Also worth a look: the Musculoids Orange Skull at $145 and the Dark Rainbow Pink Nemesis at $89.

DCon browsing money, under $40:
The DrDoomTone A Kappa Named Cup landed in fluorescent teal and pink, $34 each, and the DoomCo Mini Painted Blue Tarbus the Tardigrade is $28. Fun stuff, easy adds.
Tokyo Comic Con, December 11-13
Tokyo Comic Con hits its tenth anniversary this year at Makuhari Messe, halls 1 to 6. Hollywood guests and screen used props up front, but the toy aisles run deep and Godzilla is king there. Fitting pickup: the Marusan Kaiju Encyclopedia Silver on Green GID 1989 Godzilla. Glow vinyl, silver spray over green, $38. Want something smaller for the shelf edge? The Ken Elephant Glowing Go Nagai Devilman is $24.

Wonder Festival 2027 Winter, February 13-14
Big news out of Japan: Wonder Festival 2027 Winter runs two days, February 13 and 14 at Makuhari Messe, halls 1 to 8. First two day winter WonFes in 36 years. Garage kits are the main course, but the sofubi tables are real, and M1 is a longtime staple of that scene. In stock now: the M1 Hawaiian Hedorah Riding Tricycle. Pink vinyl with yellow, teal, black and more paint. Awesome M1 sofubi, like new in box. The Glow in Dark Alien Kemur Riding Tricycle is right next to it at $255.

- Retroband Trick or Treat 3 Outfit

Halloween pieces do not wait for October. When something hits the shop, move. The full Kaiju and Sofubi section is where the fresh stuff lands first.
