WonderCon 2022: All the Details and Show Floor Highlights

This weekend, collectors, geeks, and cosplayers around the world will flock to Anaheim, California, for Comic-Con International’s slightly smaller — but certainly no less epic — comic convention, WonderCon. For the first time since 2019, the event will be taking place in-person at the Anaheim Convention Center from April 1-3, with more than 400 exhibitors lined up. Registration for the event is still open, with single-day badge prices ranging from $35-55 and three-day badges priced at $120. Fans can register online and check out badge pick-up times, which are offered at various points throughout the three-day event.

Leading toy manufacturer Jakks Pacific and its costume design subsidiary Disguise Inc. are laying it all out on the table this WonderCon. In room No. 213 CD on Friday, April 1, from 5-6 p.m. PT, fans can enjoy a preview of upcoming toy and collectible releases across the company’s beloved brands, including Nintendo, Sonic the Hedgehog, and APEX Legends. Disguise will also be displaying its newest line of costumes set to hit retail this fall. From inflatables to adaptive options, there are plenty of innovative styles to choose from. (And no, it’s never too early to start planning for Halloween!) Fans will be treated to a Q&A with members of the Disguise development team, so start drafting fashion-forward questions, WonderCon attendees.

Funko invites all WonderCon attendees to hang loose at its Freddy’s Beach Bash booth.
