Kaiyodo to release an articulated Peacemaker figure, while DCON Vegas gears up for a grand event and Super Festival 95 draws attention.
The collectibles scene this week brings news for fans of both high-end action figures and vibrant toy conventions. Notably, Kaiyodo has announced an upcoming addition to their lauded Amazing Yamaguchi line, focusing on the Peacemaker character from DC Comics. Meanwhile, the DesignerCon (DCON) Vegas buzz grows with promises of an even larger after-party event, and Super Festival 95 has wrapped up, reminding us of its longstanding appeal in the toy enthusiast community.
Kaiyodo’s Amazing Yamaguchi Peacemaker
Kaiyodo is expanding its Amazing Yamaguchi series with a figure of Peacemaker, aka Christopher Smith, known from the DC Comics universe. As reported by DC Collectors, this figure is poised to capture Peacemaker’s comic book aesthetics rather than his live-action portrayals. This means fans can expect an intensely detailed and poseable figure, true to the comic design ethos of the Amazing Yamaguchi line. Pre-orders for this expressive and artfully engineered piece will open on October 3, 2026.
DCON Vegas 2026 and The Broke Piggy Games
For those attending DesignerCon in Las Vegas this year, the festivities include more than just convention floors and panels. According to Spanky Stokes, The Broke Piggy Games promise to elevate the after-party experience. Set to occur on November 14th, the event will feature a massive 12,500 sq. ft. venue boasting interactive activities, food, and entertainment that cater to the discerning toy collector. This ambitious upgrade from last year’s sold-out party underscores the growing popularity and communal aspect of these niche events.
Highlights from Super Festival 95
Meanwhile in Japan, Super Festival 95 concluded with the usual enthusiasm familiar to fans of sofubi and niche designer toys. Though details are sparse from ToysREvil, the festival remains a beloved staple in the toy collecting calendar, merging both new releases and nostalgia. The event serves as a testament to the thriving nature of collectible toys in Asia, particularly those focused on artistic and unique designs.
