Sunday, October 11 — Day 4 of New York Comic Con 2026, the final day, is in the books. The doors at the Javits Center closed at 5 PM, and booth 1771 is wrapped. Four days. I don't even know where to start except thank you. Thank you to every single person who came through, spun the wheel, grabbed a mystery box, picked up a comic, made a reel, or just stopped to talk toys and beats. You made this weekend. One love.

None of this happens without Tenacious Toys — Benny Kline and the whole family hosted the booth and the Tenacious Collective all four days, and I'm forever grateful. My man Leon Ramondi held the floor down on sales from Thursday through Sunday, and Sunday turned out to be our biggest day at the register of the whole weekend — the community showed up on the last day like it was the first. The 500 comics — including the virgin Vampirella variants — the mystery boxes, the handmade dioramas, the toy-photography prop packs, the loose figures and kitbash parts, all of it found new homes. And the 12-slot prize wheel spun right up to close — free spin for anyone who makes a reel with Epic Toy Sound audio and tags the account. That flywheel is real, and you all kept it turning.
The music never stopped. No Stop, the EP from Artetoyscol that dropped Saturday on Zillion Records, was the soundtrack of this booth all weekend — five high-energy horn anthems built for creators. If you were at 1771, you heard it. Stream No Stop on HyperFollow and run it up — every stream is a toy photographer getting paid.

Sunday's spotlight belonged to Darc Reign — his Madara frame, scored to "1st Appearance" by Epic Toy Sound. Read it here: Madara x '1st Appearance': Darc Reign's Wrath in One Frame. And the Day 11 Morning Report went out from the show floor Sunday morning, with the house story on GR8TFUL — the three-way collab from jhonnyrhino, arsunf!st, and @myboyronnied. Read the report: Day 11 Morning Report, and the full GR8TFUL story: GR8TFUL: Three Creators, One Track.
If you missed how we got here, catch up on Day 1: Booth 1771 Opens Its Doors and Day 2: Spent, Grateful, Still Standing.

Still in rotation from the booth: War Journal (Gun Beat) and The Darkest Reign Vol. I. Score your own shoots with "Power of the Synth" by Epic Toy Sound ($2.99 digital download), and if you're building something dark and cinematic for Halloween season, the Monster Within horror pack ($5.99) is right there waiting.
Then we packed out — booth down, boxes up, one last look at an empty 1771. NYCC 2026 was the launch pad, not the finish line. The machine keeps moving: new music every week, new spotlights, new drops, all of it leading back home. Follow along at @zillionmarketplace and @epictoysound, and keep it locked at toysandbeats.com. Thank you, New York. Thank you, community. See you next year. One love.
