Wonderfestival is a great time - you get to see a slew of kits toys and customs that are as rare as they are fleeting. The items for sale are only available for one day - if you don't get it then, there is a slim to none chance you will ever see it again. The modelers are masters at what they do and the put a lot of time and care into these kits. Ii thought I'd post some pics of what was offered and the fun to be had if you find yourself in Tokyo in the summer.
Just a small section of the line twisting into the hall. We were at least 3 block away from the entrance, but once the line starts to more - you are inside within 15 min. Organization is the key -
Inside the hall B (there are 3). Not comic con - but plenty to see.
Ultraman Galaxy movie was the first display - they gave out posters, towels and cards.
Macross 1/1 scale helmets - sold out before I could even get there. You have to move fast!
Plenty of Evangelion - the new movie was playing at the theatre so the kits were everywhere - including a helmet you can wear
Lupin the 3rd and the Castle of Cagliostro - this thing was so cool. I rotocast of the castle including the clock tower and the sunken treasure. I am a huge Lupin fan so I had to have one.
Ultraman - plenty to get if you are a fan (which if you know me...) I opened my wallet and dumped out the contents over and over again.
1/1 scale Mat Hawk from Ultraman Jack - (yep, bought it)
I really love these little kits - if i had the skill to put them together I would get them - he had some interesting creatures from obscure films
great foam puppets - I picked up the Red King which Hyzo is showing off
I also wanted one of these but again - sold out
1/1 scale Astroboy
The Maguma Taishi kits were few but i snapped them up
A Mospeda conversion kit to change your bike into a Macross vehicle
Lots of pretty girl kits - I had to shield my sons eyes more than once.
My son sporting his paper Specterman mask (wearing his chewbaccadoll toho shirt)
Guns Guns Guns - metal Harlock guns
Oxygen destro-ya!!!
This is just a taste of being there. It is a really fun place to grab some unique items - and the people are the nicest in the world.
