Hello Press and Friends,

DKE Toys is hosting a LIVE virtual event for 2020 DesignerCon. To culminate our virtual event season we bring you #DKECON - DCON Edition! The pandemic continues to provide the unusual opportunity of inviting everyone we know to our "booth."

The DKE Toys DesignerCon booth will be set up in the DKE warehouse and available to all via a live continuous Zoom webinar style meeting Friday 12pm-9pm, Saturday and Sunday 10am-7pm PST. For the first time in DKE Toys history all of the DCON convention releases will be available in our online store.

The online store will go live with all of the new DCON editions at 12pm PST Friday November 13th (what could wrong?) and will remain open for the duration of the show. All exclusive products will be limited to one per person per item on Friday. Starting Saturday at 10am customers will be able to purchase two or more based on availability.

With each qualifying purchase customers will receive a “fine” silk-screened Suckadelic tote bag designed for DKE by the Super Sucklord himself. Edition limited to 1000.

Plus all your favorite DKE segments including: Favorite Things with Sarah Jo, Collector's Paradise, You're Very Special with Dollar $lice Bootlegs, Life Questions Answered with Janky Toys, Dungeon of Death & Prizes with Barbarian Rage, and the premiere of The Dan Goodsell ASMR Hour!

We will also have one of a kind back stock items, DKE warehouse tour, show-and-tell with Dov. Tune in and ask Dov anything! Chat with Dov and staff about toy making, art, food, parenting tips, collecting, politics, and more. In quiet moments watch Dov and staff pull and pack your order LIVE!
