On Saturday, January 24 from 10 a.m.-Noon, the Comic-Con Museum in Balboa Park is hosting a tokidoki Unicorno trading meetup that was initiated and organized by a kid collector, with support from museum staff and volunteers. The event is free to attend and takes place in the museum café and retail area. Kids bring their tokidoki Unicornos to trade (1-for-1, no money), with tables provided and a simple, thoughtful structure designed to keep things welcoming and low-pressure. There will also be tokidoki-themed arts and crafts activities for kids who prefer to create or observe. What makes this event unique is that it grew from a kid's idea into a real proposal, pitch meeting, hand-drawn poster, and now a public program at the Comic-Con Museum. It’s a small but meaningful example of youth creativity, community building, and how institutions can support kid-led initiatives.
