Here is Kaiju Korner's main Wonder Festival Winter 2014 report: a look at indie toys, including sofubi, keshi, resin, and more.
Booths are arranged alphabetically.
Angel Abby
Bullmark and Yamanaya
Really cool info board about the way the Ultraman cast hands were made. |
CCP
Chima Group
Cosmo Knight Alpha
I heard these retailed for $300. |
New line of minis - Cosmo Alien (Check out my previous post on the Medicom Toys booth for pics of more versions as well as protos of upcoming additions to the line.) |
Nice Blackjack |
Dune
Dune seems to be taking off in a hurry! |
Fewture
Check out these spooky battle damage and intestine wielding bots. |
What's that? There's a missile sticking out of my gut? No way, bro! |
New additions to the Millenial line, from Slpurrt and Paul Kaiju. |
Futuristic
I always have a nice chat with the Futuristic crew, who really enjoy making these model kits. |
Hinomaru Ya
Juki
Nice packaging! |
Noice! |
Kaiju Ken
Kaizer
Linden
Marusan
Mirock and Goccodo
Took me a few minutes to describe "pimp" to a fan waiting to get one of these. Lots of pantomime. |
Moqkeshi
New keshi gomu maker on the scene - Moqkeshi. There's clearly a boom in keshi going on, with multiple makers securing one-day licenses to make figures based on properties, in addition to some new original keshi characters. |
Nerd One
...and inside the castle is one of these bottom-row keshi figures. How cool is that!! |
Another newcomer on the scene - Newter Vision with their Mighty Mashroom line. Gotta love the accessories! |
Outer Rim
And yet another keshi maker debuting at WF - Outer Rim, with some spectacular one-day license works right out of the gate. |
A famous character from Lupin the 3rd. I really love the execution on this one. Check out the super thin arms and legs. |
I like this one a lot too, from Shaman King - so unusual and highly detailed. |
Pico Pico
Pico Smash! |
Mordles |
Rampage Toys
Plenty of original keshi here! |
Shamrock Arrow
Keshi based on a Gundam character |
Aztekaiser |
One of Aztekaiser's enemies |
Sunguts
TT Toys
Bigfoot! |
US Toys
Velocitron
Yamomark
Pretty koi colors |
Yutari
Zoomoth
Once again Zoomoth, who seems to be a leading pioneer in the modern keshi movement, brought some nice figures. |

Whew, that was a lot of work... One thing about Wonder Festival is for sure - the scale is massive!
Thanks for joining KK Toy Tours!

Amazing as always, thanks for braving the snow Andy! =)
Thanks for coverage, Andy! As painful as it might be to see. So much good stuff.
I agree, this is simply great. Thanks for the commitment, really appreciate seeing the WF as I live on the other side of the globe :)
