Psycho Panda Goes BIG! Daytoner and PureArts Bring Only Two Life-Size Pieces to DCon!

Some designer toys make you stop and stare. Others make you stop, stare, and start calculating whether you can fit them through your front door! Artist Daytoner and collectible powerhouse PureArts are bringing the KINKY 09 // PSYCHO PANDA to DesignerCon Las Vegas, and these robotic beauties are definitely not messing around. We're talking highly detailed, futuristic panda-inspired cranial sculptures in two sizes, including an enormous life-size edition with only TWO pieces available at the show! If you've been looking for something that makes an absolutely ridiculous statement in your collection, well... this is certainly one way to do it!

For those unfamiliar with Daytoner's work, the artist's futuristic character designs combine sleek mechanical surfaces, stylized anatomy, and a wonderfully bold sense of shape. KINKY 09 is one of his signature creations, and the Psycho Panda treatment puts those distinctive robotic features front and center. The sculpt focuses on the character's head, including those unmistakable cylindrical pigtail-like elements, with the kind of detailing that rewards a closer look from every angle.

PureArts is bringing both the 1/3-scale and 1/1-scale versions to DesignerCon. Only 18 of the smaller pieces and 2 life-size pieces are allocated for the event, with each convention piece individually numbered and accompanied by a certificate signed by Daytoner. The sale is strictly first come, first served, so anyone hoping to secure one of the life-size pieces will probably want to make a very deliberate stop at the PureArts booth!

For a sense of scale, the 1/3-scale Phantom Panda Cranial stands approximately 7" tall, and PureArts lists that model at $279. The life-size Phantom Panda Cranial is listed at $1,599 on the manufacturer's website. These are resin display pieces, not wearable helmets. The manufacturer's existing product pages provide those reference prices, although specific convention pricing has not been separately confirmed.

Look for KINKY 09 // PSYCHO PANDA at the PureArts booth during DesignerCon Las Vegas, November 13–15, 2026. With just two life-size pieces available at the show, this is one of those releases that could disappear before most attendees have even finished walking the aisles. Big sculpt, tiny allocation, and some seriously impressive mechanical design. Good luck to anyone going after one!
