Toy manufacturers, Indie toy makers, magazine-worthy rare vintage toys, & the most figure exclusives of any expo! Zolocon — Where Collectors Converge
Zolocon is more than just a toy convention — it’s a collector-driven event founded by an independent toy manufacturer. Created by Zoloworld, a pioneer in the retro action figure market since 2012, Zolocon brings together top-tier vendors, artists, co
llectors, and fans for one of the most exciting pop culture expos in the United States. Held at the expansive Valley Forge Casino Resort in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, Zolocon spans over 60,000 square feet of collectibles — including vintage toys, rare exclusives, comics, original art, and modern action figures. Recognized as the largest action figure expo on the East Coast, Zolocon is known for showcasing high-end collectibles — some so rare they've been featured in major collector magazines and toy publications. What sets Zolocon apart is its foundation — a show built by collectors, for collectors, with deep roots in the toy-making industry. It’s a celebration of both fan culture and original creation, offering a unique crossover between creators and the collecting community. From grassroots retro toy shows to becoming one of the largest collectible conventions in the region, Zolocon continues to grow as a cornerstone of the action figure and pop culture scene. Zolocon began with a passion for pop culture, vintage toys, and the community of collectors who keep the hobby alive.
📍 2008 — Our First Show
In Delaware, we hosted our very first event — a small but passionate retro toy and comic convention dedicated to vintage collectibles and nostalgic pop culture. It brought together fans, vendors, and collectors in a tight-knit, grassroots atmosphere.
🏪 2009–2011 — Willingboro NJ & the Birth of “Zolocon”
Over the next few years, we ran a total of three shows at the Grand Marketplace in Willingboro, New Jersey, each one growing in scope and attendance. In 2011, the event officially took on the name Zolocon, marking the start of a bold new chapter. That same year, we also expanded with a show in North Jersey, reaching even more collectors and testing new ground.
🔧 2012–2015 — A Creative Pause
We stepped away from live events to focus on building behind the scenes — launching original action figure lines and expanding our protective case manufacturing, helping collectors display and preserve what they love most.
🚀 2016–2024 — Zolocon at The Fuge
In 2016, Zolocon returned with a new home at The Fuge in Warminster, Pennsylvania. The space — once a NASA centrifuge facility — brought futuristic energy to an already bold show. Over nearly a decade, Zolocon grew into a must-attend event for collectors, artists, and pop culture fans across the country.
