Collect-A-Con is back at the Los Angeles Convention Center on December 19 and 20, 2026, with more than 1,000 vendor tables of trading cards, anime merch, Funko POP!, comics, vintage toys, and video games. Voice actors Christopher Sabat, Veronica Taylor, and Charles Martinet are on the guest list, along with Waka Flocka Flame and Chumlee.
