ReKennect, the innovative retro-stylised playset company, made a bold first impression at this year’s AwesomeCon 2025 in Washington, D.C. Marking their debut at the renowned pop culture convention, ReKennect not only captured the attention of toy enthusiasts and collectors but also unveiled their latest release — the Command Center playset — to an overwhelmingly positive reception.

Known for designing nostalgic playsets tailored for 3.75-inch action figures, ReKennect has been steadily building a devoted following with its unique magnetic hinge-free construction. The Command Center, which made its first public appearance at AwesomeCon, drew praise from attendees across all age groups — from vintage collectors to parents seeking durable toys for their children.

“As Founder/Owner of ReKennect, I’m excited to see the continuing positive response and support since our launch over two years ago,” said Richard Reinhardt, II, ReKennect’s founder and CEO.

With eye-catching displays and interactive demos, the ReKennect booth quickly became a hub of activity on the convention floor. Visitors were drawn in not just by the playsets themselves, but by the vibrant storytelling and modular design that has become a ReKennect hallmark. The Command Center’s ability to reconfigure without hinges fascinated both kids and adult collectors, demonstrating the creative flexibility of MagKennect Technology. According to Richard, AwesomeCon 2025 provided them a tremendous opportunity to showcase their toy line to the toy community on a national scale.

The buzz generated at AwesomeCon led to a significant milestone for the company — invitations to exhibit at two more conventions later this year. While details are still under wraps, these upcoming events mark an important next step for ReKennect as it continues expanding its reach in the toy and collectibles market.

AwesomeCon 2025 offered more than just a platform for product showcases. The weekend was packed with celebrity panels and fan interactions, creating a vibrant cultural crossroads of nostalgia and modern fandom. High-profile appearances included cast members from The Goonies (1985), The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), and The Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003). The convention floor was also alive with cosplayers in movie-quality costumes ranging from iconic Star Wars characters to classic Disney heroes and modern-day superheroes.

Panels on toy design, pop culture history, and collectibles trends ran throughout the weekend, giving ReKennect and other indie creators a chance to engage directly with fans and industry peers. Booths from a wide range of creators, retailers, and artists showcased everything from vintage action figures to custom fan art, all contributing to a lively and diverse exhibitor hall.

For ReKennect, AwesomeCon was more than just a product launch — it was a powerful community-building experience. The feedback and conversations that took place during the three-day event are now fueling new ideas and collaborations, helping shape the company’s next chapter.

As ReKennect continues its mission to bring retro-style play into the future, fans can look forward to further innovations and expansions throughout 2025. The response at AwesomeCon confirmed that the toy community is hungry for new, imaginative ways to play — and ReKennect is ready to deliver.
