The dust has barely settled on the incredible displays and high-energy halls of this year’s convention, but the organizers behind Georgia’s premier toy event aren’t slowing down. The official Toylanta 2027 dates and location have been confirmed.
Toy fans can officially mark their calendars for a return to the Gas South Convention Center in Duluth, GA. The event is scheduled to take place across three days: April 16, 17, and 18, 2027.
A New Chapter at Gas South
Moving into 2027, the choice to remain at the Gas South Convention Center signals a commitment to the growth and accessibility that has made this show a staple for the Southeast. Known for hosting a massive variety of vintage grails, modern masterpieces, and indie breakthroughs, the venue provides the sprawling floor space necessary to house the growing number of exhibitors and attendees.
For those who have followed the show’s evolution, from its roots at the Hilton to the multi-genre powerhouse it is today, the 2027 dates represent a slightly later spring window than the March timeframe seen in previous years. This shift could offer fans even better travel weather and a prime spot in the convention circuit.
Vendor Registration and Indie Spotlight
The announcement also came with a crucial “heads up” for those looking to showcase their wares: Vendor registration for Toylanta 2027 will be opening soon. There is a significant surge in interest regarding independent toy lines and custom creators. Toylanta has historically been the “home base” for independent studios like:
- Spero Toys (Animal Warriors of the Kingdom)
- Four Horsemen Studios (Mythic Legions/Cosmic Legions)
- OddFrog Entertainment
- Plunderlings
- Savage Crucible
For independent creators, securing a booth at this show is often a top priority. The “fans first” atmosphere allows smaller brands to rub elbows with industry giants, offering a level of interaction that is often lost at larger, more corporate-driven events.
Why Toylanta Matters to Fans
What sets this show apart from the standard “comic-con” format is its unapologetic focus on the plastic itself. While celebrities and voice actors are a draw, the heart of the show remains the vendor floor and the incredible diorama displays. It is a place where you can find a carded 1982 G.I. Joe Snake Eyes in one aisle and a cutting-edge 3D-printed custom kit in the next.
The sense of community among fans is the secret sauce of the weekend. Whether you are a die-hard DC Multiverse collector, a Star Wars Black Series hunter, or someone searching for the latest Kickstarter-funded indie sensation, the camaraderie in Duluth is unmatched.
Planning for April 2027
With the dates set for April 16–18, 2027, it is time for the community to start planning. If 2026 was any indication, with its record-breaking attendance and diverse array of exclusives, 2027 is shaping up to be even larger.
We expect to see more information regarding hotel blocks, early-bird ticket packages, and the official guest list in the coming months. For now, the most important thing for fans and vendors alike is to clear those schedules.
