Pretty Heroes unites a vibrant community of artists, crafters, indie brands, and fandom shops, all showcasing their passion for strong female characters and girl‑power stories. Wandering the dealer floor is more than just shopping—it’s a key part of the Pretty Heroes experience, filled with creative energy and discoveries waiting around every corner. From exclusive art prints and handcrafted jewelry to adorable pins and plushies, the variety is dazzling. To make the most of your adventure and ensure you don’t miss out on that perfect piece or limited-edition find, a little planning goes a long way. This guide will walk you through everything you need: previewing this year’s talented exhibitors, organizing your shopping wish list, setting a smart budget, and making sure you don’t leave without snagging official Pretty Heroes merch like the NEW “You can’t spell hero without HER” shirts!
Before the event, visit the Pretty Heroes 2026 Dealers List page to browse the current and upcoming lists of vendors and exhibitors for the next Pretty Heroes Convention in July 2026. You can see who will be selling art, apparel, accessories, collectibles, sweets, and more, and use the list to note favourites. When the event gets closer, check back for updated dealer lists and maps so you can mark your “must‑visit” tables and plan your route through the hall.
A little prep keeps shopping fun instead of overwhelming. Decide on a rough budget for categories like art, apparel, gifts, and “just because it’s cute.” On your first lap, walk the floor and take photos of booths you like, then circle back for purchases so you can compare options and avoid impulse regret. Consider bringing both cash and card—some vendors are cash‑friendly, and it can help you stick to your spending plan.
• Wear comfortable, broken‑in shoes; you’ll be walking and standing for hours across the vendor floor.
• Bring a lightweight bag or backpack with padded straps so it’s easy to carry your haul all day.
• Pack a flat folder, top‑loader, or accordion file to keep art prints and photos safe from bending.
• If you expect a big haul, consider a small rolling bag or tote you can switch to later in the day when your arms are full of treasures.
• Carry a reusable water bottle and a few snacks so you can refuel without leaving the venue for every break.
• Bring a small wallet with both cash and cards—some vendors prefer cash, and it helps you stick to a budget.
• Keep a simple “con kit” in your bag: hand sanitizer, lip balm, pain reliever, phone charger or power bank, and any needed meds.
• Take a short break mid‑day to sit, review what you’ve bought, check your wish list, and decide what booths you still want to visit before closing time.
• Use your phone to snap photos of business cards or booth signs so you can find vendors again or follow them online later.
• Set a reminder or alarm for last‑hour deals and final passes through the hall, in case vendors run specials near closing.
Pretty Heroes has its own line of empowering merchandise, including shirts that highlight the event’s girl‑power theme. Look out for designs such as the NEW “You can’t spell hero without HER” shirts and other apparel from the Hero and Girl Hero ranges, typically available in a range of sizes. Official merch tables are usually near registration or in the main vendor area, and stock can sell quickly—especially popular sizes—so plan a stop early in your day.
Many Pretty Heroes vendors are independent artists, crafters, and small businesses who pour their love of magical girls, anime, comics, and games into every product. Shopping their tables is a way to support local talent, discover one‑of‑a‑kind pieces, and keep the community thriving year after year. Take a moment to chat, grab business cards or QR codes, and follow your favourite shops online so you can continue to support them after the convention.
