The Tokyo Wonder Festival is an annual event 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. Many of the garage kits now sold at the Wonder Festival are oriented around female characters, often displayed in very exposing and often amazing positions. The market for these figures has spread overseas, and they have now become increasingly popular among collectors in many countries outside of Japan. Lets see a collection of really nice toys and figures displayed on annual Tokyo wonder festival 2010.
