On July 26th, 2015 will begin the Summer 2015 edition of Wonder Festival (ワンダーフェスティバル). This is also know as Wonderfest, Wonfes( ワンフェス), or “wf2015s.” This is a special convention that is based around promoting and selling of figures, typically from anime, manga, and comic series.

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 typically get a “look-the-other-way” in terms of copyright infringement for using licensed characters on this special day in this special location. Typically these figures are sold at high prices with a very limited quantity. And often these figures are promoted online via social media. A such, there has been a couple new figures (unofficial, fanmade) being advertised, which we have listed below. As more are posted online, we’ll have additional news posts. Sometimes we won’t see them until the day of the event!

These appear to be a small scale figures of Yabisu (Shaman King Flowers). They appear to be about an 1 inch (25.4 mm) in height and there should be about 20 of them for sale.

Tao Ren by flalamingo

CG-xmmAUQAA8LYNThis appear to be a garage kit of Tao Ren from the original Shaman King series (specifically anime). Since this design is still in development, it’s not clear if this will be a full figure of just a bust.
