If you’re into comics, toys, or just love checking out fun local events, here’s one to keep on your radar—Rise of the Phoenix Comic & Toy Fest is happening on Saturday, June 14, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Deltona Sons and Daughters of Italy Lodge #2441.
Steve and Trish (the awesome folks behind Orlando Collector Deviants) are running the show, and they always bring a great mix of stuff—toys, trading cards, plushies, and $1 comics. Whether you’re a serious collector or just browsing for fun, there’s always something cool to check out.
Oh, and if you’re there, you might spot Lockjaw and his tiny buddy Helios hanging out for some cute photo ops.
It’s a chill, family-friendly kind of event with a good vibe. Definitely a fun way to spend a Saturday if you’re in the area!
