While artist Martin Hsu is always one of our favorites at San Diego Comic-Con each year, his schedule has prevented him from attending WonderCon Anaheim for the last several years. While you won’t find him physically setup on the show floor for 2024, he is still celebrating the convention, with online releases of original paintings, prints, custom figures, and more.
Starting this Friday, March 22 at 5pm PT, you can visit Hsu’s WonderCon 2024 shop to purchase new exclusive Sakura Nyan Cat custom figures, which celebrate the arrival of spring and the beautiful cherry blossom trees. He also has new original paintings, prints, and the nearly sold-out Ted Lasso Cats and Star Wars mashup print packs from San Diego Comic-Con 2023.
Be sure to use code FREESHIP50 at checkout to receive free shipping on orders of $50 or more, available through Sunday, March 31.

In honor of WonderCon starting today, Hsu has a few last additions to his online shop for his WonderCon Online exclusives sale. You can pick up his new 1.5″ “Daydreamers” Cats figures for $95 each. The hand-painted collectible figures feature acrylic and metallic paint, and are one-of-a-kind pieces on his shop now.
Hsu is also channeling the season of the spirit with two new Sakura pieces, “Sakura Bunny” and “Sakura Cat”. You can pick up the original 4″x6″ (framed 5″x7″) watercolor and metallic acrylic paintings for $200 each, or get the 5″x7″ two-print set for $20 in his online shop.
