Plans for DollAKon 2014 are under way. We've got some exciting changes happening this year, so stay tuned for updates and announcements. DollAKon 2014 @ Project A-Kon 25 June 6 to 8 at the Dallas Hilton Anatole Rooms Plum Blossom A & B We'll have panels, workshops, meet-ups and market sessions all 3 days! DollAKon - where Dolls and Anime unite for a fun filled weekend! We're a specialized program department sponsored by A-Kon, the longest running Anime, Manga and Japanese pop culture convention in Texas. DollAKon's focus is on Asian ball-joint dolls and dolls in a similar style. Other styles of dolls are welcome to attend. DollAKon announcements, convention news and schedules are located on our web page (currently under reconstruction). If you'd like to talk with other attendees, please visit our DollAKon FaceBook discussion group. A valid badge for A-Kon 25 is required to attend all DollAKon events. Badges can be purchased directly from A-Kon. Room rates for the Hitlon Anatole are set by A-Kon and must be purchased through their provided link or by calling the hotel directly. Please visit A-Kon's site for complete info on badges and hotel rates. A-Kon is an anti-bootleg convention. Like our parent convention, DollAKon is anti-recast. We welcome all dolls legally produced by the artist, sculptor or officially licensed company.

[h=5]DOLLAKON'S NAME OUR MASCOT CONTEST!!! Miss Parabox has a new look for 2014! She's sporting Parabox's brand-new "Laura" sculpt and was generously painted and donated by them. Our mascot has gone too long without a name, so we'd like everybody's help to give her one. The rules! 1. Go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/DollAKonMembers/ (if you're not a member, just send us a request!) 2. Post your name suggestions below in a comment. 3. We'll take suggestions until November 30, 2013 4. Suggestions must be family-friendly and we can't accept the names of celebrities, historical characters, existing fictional characters, or names from licensed products or franchises. 5. Names must be written in English letters. When the poll closes, the list of names will be put out for popular vote. The winner will receive their very own Laura head, courtesy of our sponsor. The head may be picked up at a local meet, at DollAKon 2014, or mailed to you at your expense. PM me with any questions! [/h]
