One of our favorite booths at any show they are at (which includes NYCC, SDCC, and DesignerCon) is the DKE Toys booth, and they have begun to reveal what you can find at their booth (#575) at New York Comic Con this year.
What makes their exclusives so unique is they are usually handmade, very limited and signed and numbered. As a result they are collectors items and usually a little bit pricey.
The latest set of announcements (here’s the previous announcements) include releases from Buzzard Guts & Dead Greedy, Mug Costanza, Nekosatsu Toys, The Katepillar, For The Love Of Old Toys, and Seth Relentless.
More below courtesy of their press releases.

Bio: Dead Greedy is a bootleg toy making project, with a team of two: Jeremy and Jaime Bourquin. Their designer toys/bootleg action figures are a mash-up of ’80s and ’90s nostalgia with a message of anti-commercialism. Their work is greatly influenced by Star Wars, The $uper $ucklord and other artists of the genre. The name, Dead Greedy, was derived from Jeremy’s hate for The Change in Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope. The one that caused Greedo to shoot first.
Bio: Buzzard Guts was founded in 1994 as a hand distributed “fan” zine by self proclaimed “artist” and multi-dimensional guru Dain A. Marx who has been creating and exploring alternate universes since the early 70s. Now, Buzzard Guts produces kit bashed hand cast resin figures from a trailer in the woods. These “bootleg toys” of characters from alternate realities feature collaborations from various talented illustrators like Neil Devlin of Last Boss Comics, Ryan Winn of Valiant Comics and maybe one day, you!

Bio: Mug Costanza was founded in 2017 by visual artist Greg DeLuis. Mug creates original sculpt art toys as well as irreverent collage pieces that draw from 70s, 80s, and 90s toy lines. Themes focus on surreal alternate realities, pop culture, and multiverse riffs on classic archetypes. Mug emphasizes craft and execution as all parts are hand cast and all artwork is done in house in his LA studio.
