Monsters from Around the World! fig-lab Celebrates 20 Years with a Sofubi Invasion!

Look out, Las Vegas... the monsters are coming from EVERYWHERE! The international sofubi collective Global Figure Showcase is gearing up for another massive appearance at DesignerCon, and this year's gathering has an extra reason to celebrate. Curated by fig-lab, the booth will mark 20 years of fig-lab with a special Millennial Monsters collection, bringing together independent toy makers and their creations from across the globe! If you're the kind of collector who loves discovering strange new creatures, wildly different paint styles, and the occasional figure you didn't know you needed until it was staring back at you, booth #1605 might be a very dangerous place for your wallet!

One of the big attractions is the Millennial Monsters Collection, a special assortment of sofubi celebrating two decades of fig-lab's involvement in the designer toy world. The collection features a shared Millennial Monsters colorway across different works, tying together a variety of sculpts while giving each artist room to show off their own character designs. It's a fitting tribute to the collaborations, friendships, and wonderfully weird creations that have helped shape the sofubi community over the years.

And what a lineup! Featured creators include Kaori Hinata, Candie Bolton, MUMBOT, Poriin, Zintears, Seri Norica, KLAV, Boki Girl, Lalayo Toy, ukyDaydreamer, and fig-lab itself. The larger GFS selection will spotlight work from approximately 20 independent artists, representing Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, the United States, and beyond. That's a lot of incredible talent sharing one corner of the convention floor!

As an added treat, David Horvath, known for his work with Sun-Min Kim and the Uglydoll universe, is listed as a special guest. Between the anniversary collection, visiting artists, and additional releases, there's plenty here to keep collectors making repeat visits to the booth.

Find the Global Figure Showcase crew at booth #1605 during DesignerCon Las Vegas, November 13–15, 2026, at The Expo at World Market Center. Individual figure prices, quantities, and sales procedures will vary, so follow GFS on Instagram for the latest previews. Twenty years of sofubi deserves a proper monster party, and this one looks like it's going to deliver!
