We have a very special Thanksgiving greeting coming your way. Here is a look back at the DKE holiday cards from the past few years.

Designer Con 2012 was a good time. The DKE Crew was holding down a huge part of the Convention Hall with the parasite convention within a convention Suck-Con. DKE and Suckadelic joined forces to create the Second Annual Suckathon, the Suckcarnival, the Super Suck Up tribute art show and the Suckadelic retrospective timeline “A Losing Proposition: 2004-2012“. This all encompassing chronology of the Sucklord’s major works since 2004 made a colorful centerpiece to the Suck-Con. It’s hard not to respect the sheer amount of work the Sucklord has pumped out in such a short time period.
To see the complete chronology go to our Flickr Set for A Losing Proposition.
DKE Toys had a truly EPIC day at Designer Con 2012. Here’s a few photos. Tons more are up on the DKE Flickr.
More posts to come!
Also, if you tried calling through on the “Suckline” and didn’t get what you wanted, drop us an email at dkeblog@gmail.com We still have some figures left.

I have been getting lots of questions about how you can buy Super Suck Up! figures if you are NOT at Designer Con.
Here’s the deal…
The figures go on sale at Designer Con at 10am.
At noon PST we will open the Suckline. Call us up and you can buy figures. If there are other exclusives that you are craving, you can buy those as well. If we still have them. And if they have ALREADY been released for the day at Dcon.
We have never done anything like this before, so be patient. We want you to get the ones you want. But we can’t do anything if certain figures sell out at 10am when they go on sale to the Attendees at Dcon.

Last night deep inside the DKE Warehouse Bill McMullen (AKA Billions McMillions) was grinding away, shrinkwrapping and hand picking colored markers for a very special limited edition coloring poster. You remember these! This kind of poster was an Grade A Number 1 Present around my house at holiday time. And now, Bill has captured all the charm of dumping the Sucklord in the East River with 4 coloring pens, and just in time for the holidays too.
These of course match Bill’s contribution to the Super Suck Up! and will be available for the first time at Designer Con, at the DKE booth #124.

DKE Toys and Suckadelic present “A Losing Proposition: 2004 – 2012”
From the Secret Archive comes this incredible Bootleg Timeline
Saturday, November 3, 2012 9am – 6pm
Pasadena Convention Center, 300 East Green Street, Pasadena CA 91101
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
DKE Toys and Suckadelic present an all-day retrospective of the work of The Sucklord: “A Losing Proposition: 2004-2012”.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…well, at least in a studio in Chinatown, NYC way back in 2004, The Sucklord as we know him today, dropped his first recognized art toy release. Fast forward to present, The Sucklord has completely flooded the market with his tomfoolery and crappy bootlegs. For the first time ever, from the deepest part of the Secret Archive, the public will be able to plug their nose and lay their eyes on the three-dimentional timeline progression into the Suck Realm.
Despite living with his mom for 36 years, the Sucklord has managed to fleece the toy industry and somehow build enough of a fan base to hold his very own retrospective. Witness the progression from an original Sucklord 66 figure to the ever-popular Gay Empire figure. You may not have bought it (good for you), but come be an asshole by checking it all out.
“A Losing Proposition: 2004 – 2012” is from the collection of Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks.
THE SUPER SUCKLORD is an intergalactic hustler and entrepreneur, trading in bootleg action figures, illicit remix records, and dusted Internet video. Operating from a secret facility in Chinatown New York, The Sucklord is a master media manipulator and Downtown Designer Toy impresario. He is the supreme ruler of SUCKADELIC, an evil arts organization dedicated to the production and sale of the Sucklord’s ironic, low-quality art merchandise. www.suckadelic.com
