At a WonderCon panel today, the Comic-Con Museum revealed two new exhibits debuting this year, spotlighting two fan-favorite creative worlds: the rich legacy of Mexican lucha libre and the vibrant universe of tokidoki, the Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand.

Opening on May 22, “Sangre, Sudor, Myth: The Art, Culture, and Heritage of Mexican Lucha Libre” will showcase the tradition’s deep roots and enduring influence. In collaboration with the Consulate General of Mexico in San Diego, the exhibit will feature authentic masks from different eras, championship belts, costumes, and vintage toys, as well explore how lucha libre has shaped comics, cinema, costuming, and storytelling.

Then on June 30, a new tokidoki exhibit will celebrate the brand’s 20th anniversary. Created by Italian artist Simone Legno, tokidoki blends Japanese pop culture with bold design and has become a global lifestyle icon. The exhibit will highlight its origins, evolution, and standout collaborations through original art and exclusive collectibles.

“Simone Legno and tokidoki earned recognition and have had a big presence at Comic-Con over the years, and an exhibit at the Museum will strengthen and promote this longtime relationship,” said Museum Executive Director Rita Vandergaw. “We also look forward to our continued exhibitions sharing Mexico’s artistry and impact on the popular arts, this year through legendary lucha libre.”

These premieres join current exhibits, including “Doctor Who Worlds of Wonder“, “Becoming Betty Boop” (through June 15), “Border Blitz: Artistas del Comic de Tijuana” (through May 12), and Collaboration(s)! A Journey with John Jennings” (through May 12).

The Comic-Con Museum is open Thursday–Tuesday, 10am-5pm PT, and tickets are available online at $30 for adults 18+ (children 6-12: $12; seniors 65+: $20; students 13-17: $20; military: $20).

It’s the perfect addition to your San Diego Comic-Con trip, especially if you’ll be in town before or after the con.
