On Sunday February 6th, 2022 will begin the Winter 2022 edition of Wonder Festival (ワンダーフェスティバル). This is also know as Wonderfest or Wonfes (ワンフェス) for short. The event returns to an in-person event in Japan with new COVID-19 preventative measures in place. and scheduling conflicts due to the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics in Tokyo the event was postponed and then moved to an online format.
The event is split between the official figure manufacturers promoting their upcoming figures to be sold through normal outlets for the rest of the year and one-off “groups” that make their own custom figures for sale during the event. These one-off, fan-groups’ figures are given a single day use approval from the appropriate copyright holders. Typically these figures are sold at high prices with a very limited quantity. Often these figures are promoted online via social media prior to the event.
A limited number of Shaman King figures are being released at this event. Some of the previous creators were skipping this event or opted for other figures. Additionally the license for these Shaman King figures was only for the original manga.
