I really loved the Xiaomi High Capacity Gel Pen when we last bought it from OneDayOnly.co.za as one of their parallel imports in daily deals. At that time, we paid around ZAR 200 for 10 pens. This time, we have paid around ZAR 110 for 5 pens from Temu.

Stationery Review 277 - Ohto Celsus Ceramic Roller Pen (0.5mm)

Hi Friends,

I bought this Ohto Celsus Ceramic Roller Pen in Metallic Red colour body design with golden trims. I really loved it when I first saw it at Comic Con Africa 2024. This pen is 0.5mm and I really loved writing with the same. I bought the same for ZAR 100. Check it out!

This brand of pens is also available at the Jetpens shop in the USA, and you can check if these are available at your local store. I saw them at Maido Shop in SF, if I remember correctly, as well as in Japantown. This year, Comic Con Africa is also happening in collaboration with Japan, so let's see if I can find something more beautiful writing instruments.

Doritos is Turning up the Heat at Comic Con Africa #ComicConAfrica

Hi Guys, 

Doritos is back and it’s bigger, louder, and crunchier than ever. In 2025, Comic Con Africa says goodbye to the Crunch Zone and welcomes the bigger and bolder Doritos Crunch Arena. It’s a space packed with non-stop action, non-stop flavour, and more ways to play, win, and experience the crunch than ever before.

The Doritos TEKKEN 8 Tournament is where gaming warriors are made. Con-goers will go head-to-head in high-energy battles as their favourite Tekken characters, and there will be two tournaments every day of the con. With real-time scorekeeping flashing across a massive leaderboard in the heart of the Arena, the heat is always on! For gamers who think they have what it takes to climb to the top, they should be warned: the leaderboard changes in a flash and this moment’s champ could be the next moment’s toast. It’s bold, it’s brag-worthy, and it’s your shot to stand a chance to win your share of R10 000 daily. Bring your game face (and don’t forget an extra bag of confidence).

Old school is the new cool in the Retro Arcade Zone. Bring the old days back with some classic arcade fun with button-mashing, joystick-slamming goodness. It’s a pixel-powered blast from the past that’ll have you shouting, “just one more round!” Whether you want to relive your youth or if you’re just now discovering the roots of gaming, this zone is full of nostalgia with a Doritos twist.

Free-to-Play Titles
For the casual gamers, don’t worry, because Doritos has got you covered, too. Fans can jam their favourite titles in the free-to-play zone: a line-up of today’s hottest games, including EAFC25, COD Modern Warfare III, Streetfighter and Fornite, making it the perfect space to game with your squad. Whether you’re in it for fun or trying to settle a long-standing rivalry with your bestie, this is your chance to prove who’s boss.

Win a PS5
Ready for the ultimate side quest? Doritos will be giving away a PS5 daily. Scan the QR codes scattered around the show and in the Crunch Arena and be at the Arena every day at 3pm for the live randomised draw - you could be leaving the Con with a console in hand!

Beyond the Games: the Reloaded Truck is Back
All that joystick action is going to leave you hungry, and Doritos has you covered! Head on over to the Doritos Loaded Truck, where you can expect a variety of unique ways to enjoy Doritos through a specialised menu. Try out Doritos as the base for both sweet and savoury snacks to share with your squad, or enjoy a portion all to yourself! Have you imagined Doritos as a cheesecake, or loaded with saucy pulled beef? Yes, please!

Says Ather Baghpatee, Doritos Marketing Director of Snacks, “Doritos believes in ‘Expressing your bold side’ and in line with our brand positioning, we are proud to partner with Comic Con Africa. With this collaboration, our aim is to create a bold, inclusive and accessible gaming environment for South Africa’s youth. We look forward to continuing our journey supporting youth passion points and providing platforms to fuel BOLD self-expression for South Africans.”

For Everyone!
Whether you’re there to compete, chill, or just snack between the con vibes, the Doritos Crunch Arena is where it’s all going down. Get ready to feel the crunch. It’s coming to your happy place, Comic Con Africa, from 28 to 31 August at the Joburg Expo Centre, Nasrec.

Kidults, Assemble! Comic Con Africa is Where Your Fandoms Come Alive #ComicConAfrica

Hi Guys, 

Johannesburg, I have a question for you. Have you ever queued overnight for a Funko Pop drop? Rewatched your favourite anime for the third time this month? Or stayed up until 2 am binge-watching a series? Do you proudly display your LEGO figures next to your work laptop? If you’re nodding along, congratulations, you’re officially a Kidult.

Globally, adults now account for 28% of all toy sales, and they are creating demand for high-end, collectable, and nostalgic merchandise. This trend is growing at over 10% annually and is becoming a full-blown cultural shift. Kidult culture is rewriting the rules of adulthood and blending grown-up responsibilities with a splash of youthful passions, and Comic Con Africa stands at the epicentre of this movement for local lovers of collectables and limited-edition items.

Kidults aren’t hiding in the shadows anymore: they are proudly collecting, gaming, cosplaying, and geeking out like never before. From scouring the internet for that rare Labubu character to stacking shelves with Squishmallows in every size, South African adults are reclaiming the joy of their childhood obsessions and turning them into full-blown lifestyle statements.

This isn’t a phase, it’s a movement, and Comic Con Africa is the one place where it all comes to life.

Kidults, Assemble! Comic Con Africa is Where Your Fandoms Come Alive #ComicConAfrica

Whether your office is lined with action figures or your weekends are dedicated to anime marathons, Comic Con Africa is where you belong. It’s the beating heart of geek culture on the continent, it’s the only event where collectors, gamers, Cosplayers, and fans from every fandom collide in a celebration of unapologetic passion.

But kidult culture isn’t limited to toys and collectables. It’s thriving in the world of gaming, too, with Nintendo as one of the most nostalgic gaming brands. Once childhood favourites, franchises like Zelda, Mario Kart, Pokémon and Metroid have become nostalgic cornerstones for adult gamers who now revisit them not just through gameplay, but through collecting figurines, retro consoles, and exclusive titles. These games aren’t just played, they’re cherished. This year at Comic Con Africa, you will find an entire zone dedicated to all things Nintendo.

Comic Con Africa gives kidults the chance to get their hands on exclusive collectibles and immersive experiences. This is the grown-up playground you’ve all been waiting for. And yes, there will be shopping. Lots of it. If you’re hunting down that one elusive figurine or that specific Star Wars collectible, Comic Con Africa is your chance to find it. And with Toys R Us taking over the KidsZone, there’s shopping for everyone.

Comic Con Africa isn’t just an event. It’s a cultural meeting point where childhood memories are reawakened, friendships are sparked in every aisle, and passion is proudly put on display.

So why only tell your kids about the stories you loved growing up, when you can live it with them?

To every adult who’s ever worn superhero merch to a meeting, hunted for that rare comic drop, queued for exclusive collectibles, or gamed till sunrise, Comic Con Africa sees you and is calling you to come joyfully express yourself this August.
