[note]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.[/note]

Here’s the 5th part of our Wonfes 2014 Summer coverage. Enjoy! – July 27, Sunday, Wonder Festival officially opened their doors for their 2nd event this year. As you may all know, Wonder Festival is a bi-annual event, meaning we get to see it twice a year. Last February, we all saw some of the great and upcoming figures from different figure makers at Wonfes 2014 Winter Edition. This year’s 2nd Wonfes dubbed as Wonfes 2014 Summer Edition is no different. Lots of new figures from different figure manufacturers were announced at the event. Some are painted, some are still in their grey prototype form. Still, all the new figures announced made me really excited – and worried since I’m sure our wallets will definitely bleed this year up to next year > <

Like always, many thanks to the super awesome shots and incredible work of resident Wonfes photographer/blogger Ryoku-san! His event images are one of the best out there!
