Merch

Vendors are definitely one of the highlights of any con! It’s a great time to stock up on all your fav character gear and check out rarities you’re missing from your collection. The Cats Grafix will be on hand with a massive collection of comics, Relics from Cybertron will have the widest selection of Transformers toys you’ve ever seen, and Pixie Mama designs will deck you out with handmade gear from your favourite characters. That’s just a highlight, there will also be several artists on site with graphic inspired pieces and more graphic merch than you can shake a stick at!
