Wonder Festival 2017 Winter Is Here!

Wonder Festival 2017 Winter is here and that means cute plastic PVC girls and guys, for everyone to enjoy!

Various new figures from currently airing anime, anime scheduled to air soon and even some figures from older series have been revealed. If you’re a buyer of figures, prepare your wallet since it isn’t safe anymore.

The Tokyo Wonder Festival (ワンダーフェスティバル), or Wonfes (ワンフェス wanfesu?) for short, is a bi-annual event held in the Makuhari Messe, in Chiba, Japan. The main focus is to display and sell “garage kits”, which are sculptures that usually replicate anime and game characters, but also popular mecha/sci-fi characters and creatures. These models are extremely detail oriented, and many of these sculptures appear in very small quantities due to the amateur nature of their reproduction. Unusually skilled artisans are promoted specifically during the “wonder showcase” (WSC), in which their works are given special attention and limited quantities of their masterpieces are sold for high prices to avid collectors. It also showcases future releases by major toy companies. – Wikipedia
