Handcrafted Creativity: The Heart of WonderFest
Garage kits represent the core of classic maker culture. Born in Japan, these small-batch, unpainted resin model kits are sculpted by independent artists who invest months of careful detailing into each master mold.
Explore original designs, garage kits, and custom models created by talented artists. Meet the master sculptors, learn model-painting techniques, and collect works that are rarely available outside major Japanese hobby expos.
Figures, Models & the Art of Collecting
Wonder Festival brings top-tier scale figure manufacturers and model companies under one roof. See stunning, high-definition figures and upcoming project prototypes from world-renowned brands.
Learn directly from industry designers about the production pipeline—from initial digital scuplting and coloring stages to package design and retail production. Celebrate figure collection as a premium art form.
The Art of Creation, Collecting, and Imagination
Step into the vibrant world of designer art toys and custom vinyl figures. Blending contemporary street art, pop culture aesthetics, and custom sculpting, designer toys are highly sought-after by collectors.
