DKE Toys San Diego Comic-Con 2023 Exclusives [Update July 8]

DKE’s booth is always like stepping into another world at San Diego Comic-Con. Their designer toys are both works of art and commentary, and over the years they’ve delivered everything from political satires to one of the best exclusives of all time.

Just like last year, they’ll be doing a split approach for San Diego Comic-Con. Of course you can still find them on the show floor, at Booth #2643, where they’ll be sharing booth space with Creature Bazaar — but they warn that their in-person inventory will be “extremely limited”.

Instead, they recommend that in order to secure your item, you take part in their online sale on Friday, July 14 at 12pm PT with owner Dov Kelemer, as well as co-hosts Janky Toys, Barbarian Rage, and Ian Wilcox. Anything not sold out on the live show will then be taken to San Diego Comic-Con — and anything remaining after the convention will be placed on the site after the show.

They’ll have 16 exclusives this year, as well as two mini art shows. Artist Stoger has created “Cantina Aliens”, which includes a hand cast 3.75″ scale figure on 12″x9″ painted wood panel, with 19 pieces to choose from. You’ll also find artist Dustin Benzing and his “Second Quarter of the Third Batch Art Show”, which features Dustin’s signed one-of-a-kind hand carved and painted wood blocks.
