About Us

About DollCon

DollCon Dallas began as a dream of creating an affordable convention with a safe, welcoming atmosphere for doll, plushie and figure enthusiasts of all kinds. We pride ourselves on hosting a variety of workshops and panels provided by guests across the doll-collecting spectrum.

Although we allow dolls and figures of all types, we do have a strict no-counterfeit rule. Please refrain from bringing any bootleg, recast or counterfeit items to the convention. We are a collector, artist and hobbyist-oriented convention aimed at those over the age of 16. Infants and children under 16 may not attended DollCon Dallas, excepting the children of vendors.
