The 2025 New York Comic Con was a thrill ride for all those who were able to attend and as previously reported in our day by day coverage pieces, once I had finished with those I would make sure to spotlight some of the exhibitors that we had numerous photos of. If for some reason you’re only just now joining us, please spend a little time with the New York Comic Con content that has preceded this post by clicking HERE. Doing so will launch a new browser tab with everything that has gone online related to the convention. This post will shine the spotlight on the Kayou and Fanhome pavilions. Let’s go.
Kayou is a premium collectible trading card company that originates in China and was debuting at the New York Comic Con much to the delight of the company’s fans worldwide and the properties that they brought to the show. With this introductory appearance they brought items from Tokidoki, My Little Pony and Naruto.
Under normal creative circumstances, the properties such as “My Little Pony” and “Tokidoki” might be better suited to the audience over on “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken” but since PiercingMetal was covering the overall NYCC 2025, I left anything related to the event right here.
So I’ll be honest with you and say just how beautiful all of these cards were and a delight to look at. The booth itself was a very tight squeeze and that is why most of my shots are further away. You can click around on their website or succinct collector blogs to see stuff in finer detail.
They were celebrating the 20th Anniversary of “My Little Pony” if I could trust the cake that I was taking a photo of. Sadly I didn’t get to try any of this cake and it looked indulgent as heck.
Kayou also had several glass display cases where they were showing off some of the absolutely limited and very premium cards. Collectors who manage to get any of these in packs will probably be over the moon. I used to love getting a premium card in a pack of whatever I was collecting. It always feels like a win.
They also had an awesome cosplayer on hand to reflect the “Naruto” trading cards. She was a hit with the fans who either snapped photos or selfies or standing with her for their own convention memory album. That’s why I added two snaps of my own but I didn’t pose myself in the mix.
I wasn’t able to secure any cards for myself for other purposes of promotion but I am sure that this is not the last that I will be hearing about them. As new licenses get announced and shared along down the pike I will be sure to spread that intel to you as well. Now its onto the folks from Fanhome.
Now some of you might not actually know what Fanhome is all about so let me explain it before continuing along. They are a subscription-based service that offers the consumer some highly detailed model kits based on some of the hottest pop culture franchises in history.
After a quick hello to their team up above I began exploring and saw several of their existing model kits. Here’s the DeLorean time machine from “Back To The Future”.
Who among you doesn’t recognize the incredible Batmobile from the 1966 “Batman” television series. This is my very favorite Batmobile.
They also had large-scale figures set up as models for Marvel characters like the Iron Spider and Iron Man. These seemed to be about two feet in height so the thing to bear in mind if you purchase anything is that you will need some space.
The famed Millennium Falcon from “Star Wars” was up next as was a figure of the Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Vader. Now while I am not too keen on the figure side of these collectibles I did like this Darth Vader but I know that I don’t have the space for it in my unit.
Sadly this Voltron Defender of the Universe was a work in progress but there was a different Iron Man to examine.
The “Star Trek” universe is well represented with this classic USS Enterprise 1701. This is the one from the show and I should say that these next items are not buildable kits but instead are fully assembled and ready for display. I have this starship in my collection and its beautiful.
Apparently this is the USS Cerritos from “The Lower Decks” series that I didn’t watch. It was an animated series on the Paramount+ streaming service and I am not currently a subscriber.
This is a limited edition gold-plated USS Enterprise that was being displayed. There were less than 600 of them and I believe this was close to sold out at the convention.
The next batch of visuals are of assorted cars and bikes that Fanhome releases as kits. I’m not too up on many of these and hence unaware what is special and even more special.
Now back over to our friends at the desk. Even though it said so I was unaware that a costume contest was ready to begin.
While there I saw someone from the NYC Metal Scene cosplaying as a gender swapped version of The White Queen from the X-Men. I couldn’t let that pass me by because it was so fun. Emma Frost has nothing on you my Metal friend.
That’s all I’ve got for you from the Kayou and Fanhome pavilions but don’t worry I have some more stuff coming up soon.
