Glenn Manders introduces a new variant of Cheestroyer, infusing dental motifs with comic charm.
The latest addition to the designer toy scene brings an unexpected twist on household hygiene. Glenn Manders of Bad Teeth Comics has released a “Colgate” edition of Cheestroyer, injecting the playful world of designer vinyl with an unexpected dental-inspired design. This quirky figure undoubtedly adds a brush of humor and color to collectors’ shelves, reflecting Manders’ unique brand of comic creativity. Spanky Stokes reports on this colorful rendition, highlighting the clever use of red, white, and blue swirls reminiscent of a toothpaste tube combined with variations in head color, characteristically imbued with that mischievous demeanor.
Toy Conventions Overtake October
Elsewhere in the collectibles world, October has proven to be a bustling month for toy enthusiasts, courtesy of two major conventions colliding on the same weekend. The New York Comic Con 2026 and the Taipei Toy Festival 2026 have both occupied the same dates, from October 8th to 11th, splitting the attentions of collectors and creators globally.
New York Comic Con 2026
The New York Comic Con remains one of the leading platforms for unveiling new merchandise, exclusive releases, and showcasing creativity within the collectibles industry. However, this year, the focus on its full scope remains somewhat unfocused in the early reports. TOYSREVIL provides an overview but lacks detailed updates at this juncture, leaving many details about specific toy launches and reveals at the event hanging temporarily in ambiguity.
Taipei Toy Festival 2026
Simultaneously, the Taipei Toy Festival 2026 has opened its doors, running parallel to New York’s event. Known for its vibrant displays and focus on Asian toy creators, this festival offers a different flavor of collectibles news. As with the New York Comic Con, TOYSREVIL provides coverage focused predominantly on overarching festival news rather than detailed specificities of what collectors can expect regarding the latest must-have items.
These dual events illustrate October’s packed calendar for collectors, although the full revelations from both remain to be pieced together once more detailed reports surface. It’s a reminder of the global connectivity and expansive scope within the collectibles convention scene, despite the challenges in logistics and focus that simultaneous scheduling can pose.
