Wonder Festival 2017 Summer [Video Report]

Do you remember when a month ago the TOM Facebook page and basically every otaku news site was flooded with pictures of figures? Those were taken at Wonder Festival 2017, Japan’s largest figure and garage kit event where not only companies, but also individuals can present and sell their works as well.

One of the main features of WonFes, besides seeing the latest figures from popular makers up close, is the works of individual dealers that they made for their own joy, with love. In fact, there are so many that one day is not enough to go through all of them!

Max Factory, a figure maker most known for their figma series, is celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, which is why they featured a large poster of the company’s director, Max Watanabe, at their booth.

Another highlight of the event was the interview with Miyawaki Shuichi, the president of the event’s sponsor, Kaiyodo, who talked about the fun of WonFes and figures in general, as well as the models on display.

We hope these pictures will deliver the magical atmosphere of this event, boasting more than 30 years of history.
