PAX West 2017 – Set Up & Day 1 Recap

by

We’ve had a busy weekend so far at PAX West 2017. Half of our team came earlier in the week to start building the booth from the ground up.

Then before we knew it, a few days passed by quickly and it was the night before PAX! On Thursday, we just had finishing touches in the Gift Shop and on the arcade cabinets. Everyone worked hard to get out of there before dinner — unlike previous years where we’ve stayed until the wee hours of the night. GOOD JOB, TEAM!

Setting up the Gift Shop

 
Friday morning, which is Day 1 of PAX West, we started off the event with our Press Breakfast at 9AM. All Media badge holders were welcome to partake in pastries and coffee to kick off their weekend.

At 10AM, the expo hall opened up to all attendees and then the booth was bustling with players on the arcade cabinets and queuing up for the Gift Shop.

On Friday, we also held our first ever Pit People PVP Challenge at PAX West.

All participants get a prize for playing, but players who make it to Round 3 and come out victorious will get a Pit People figurine + Pit People plush set + scarf + pin! Whoa!!! We had four Round 3 winners on this first day:

PVP Challenge Winner: Wyatt

 
PVP Challenge Winner: Anne

 
PVP Challenge Winner: Danny

 
PVP Challenge Winner: Jerrod

Congrats to all of the winners and thank you to everyone who came out to play! To see more photos from these days, click the links below:

by

Come visit our Gift Shop at PAX West (Booth 1501) for the full list of items we’ll have this year at the booth. For now, here are some cool things coming to PAX West for the first time ever:

PAX West 2017 Exclusive Tee ($20 each, limited sizes while supplies last)

Hey, cuties! Let’s start things off with a fresh new PAX West exclusive tee with Jerkimedes from Pit People. It’ll come in midnight blue (oohhh~) and there are limited quantities so get it while supplies last!

Pit People Figurines ($45 $40 each individual figurine)

Next up, we’ve got the first ever Pit People figurines in the world!!! That’s right, folks — these figurines are making their debut at PAX West 2017 Booth 1501!

Take home Horatio, Pipistrella, and Yosef — first of their name. These will stand 6“ to 7” tall (depending on hat or hairstyle) and they come in a sturdy box of their own.

The figurines will retail at $45 each in the future, but we’re going to have a special debut price of $40 each at PAX West! Get them at our Gift Shop while supplies last.

Chonku Chonku ($5 each capsule)

One Castle Crashers mini-figurine in each capsule. Collect them all!

 
We’ll have 12 Chonku Chonku machines, which will have blind-box capsules filled with your choice of Castle Crashers knights mini-figurines (1 in each capsule), Pins (Series 4, Series 5, Series 6, or Series 8 pins; 1 in each capsule), and all-new Patches (3 random patches in each capsule).

Pit People Plushies ($25 each)

They made their expo debut at PAX East this year and they’ll be available at PAX West for the first time ever! Choose from Cupcake, Rainbow Horse, Mushroom, or Space Bear.


Or get them all and you’ll get a free Behemoth Baggu bag (retail $10) with the Pit People plush bundle!

There will also be several other t-shirt designs, keychains, and hats available at PAX West. Patrons will get a classic Behemoth drawstring bag free with any purchase!
