“Thrilljoy is proud to announce its participation in MultICon, where we will donate over $100,000 worth of products to support those affected by the devastating wildfires. With our deep roots in LA, this cause is deeply personal to us. We have seen firsthand the impact of these fires. Friends, family, and members of our community have lost their homes and been displaced.

Thrilljoy has always been about more than just collecting, it’s about connection, passion, and the communities that bring fandoms to life. In times of crisis, standing by those we love isn’t just a choice; it’s a responsibility. That’s why we’re honored to partner with MultiCon for this initiative.
