DKE Toys Presents #DKECON
July 22-26, 2020
A virtual event!
DKE Toys is hosting a LIVE virtual event in place of the canceled 2020 San Diego Comic Con. For your enjoyment we have created #DKECON to fill the gaping hole in your canceled convention season. The pandemic has provided the unusual opportunity of inviting everyone we know to our San Diego Comic Con “booth”.
The DKE Toys booth will be set up in the DKE warehouse and available to all via a live continuous Zoom meeting and for the first time in DKE Toys history all of the SDCC convention releases will be available in an online store.

All exclusive products will be limited to one per person per item on Wednesday night. Starting Thursday two or more will be available. Starting Thursday at 10am we will be open for walk in business one customer at a time, state and local government regulations permitting.

With each qualifying purchase in-person and online customers will receive a “fine” silk-screened Suckadelic tote bag designed for DKE by the Super Sucklord himself. Edition limited to 1000.
There will be SURPRISE RELEASES everyday starting Thursday at 10am and at 10am each subsequent day.
Starting at 11am each day and every hour thereafter tune in for artist interviews, virtual studio tours, giveaways, surprise guests, contests and whatever else we can conjure up to occupy all 43 hours of our LIVE Zoom booth hours. (Schedule below.)
We will also have one of a kind back stock items, DKE warehouse tour, show-and-tell with Dov. Tune in and ask Dov anything! Chat with Dov and staff about toy making, art, food, parenting tips, collecting, politics, and more. In quiet moments watch Dov and staff pull and pack your order LIVE!
DKE will have 30 exclusive releases. (Artist list below.) We will also have a mini art show by Australian artist ADi. 12 email announcements will follow over the next week.
