Design Festa is one of those events where nearly anything goes. In recent years, that's been a very good thing toy-wise, as more and more indy sofubi and other toy makers are launching customs, new releases, and even showing prototype and upcoming releases at the event. Today's Design Festa had some excellent toy offerings, including a bombshell preview paint sample (shown for the first time) of RESTORE'S upcoming vinyl figure!
A lot of exhibitors put serious prep time into their booths, and I wanted to put up a few pics as a nod to those efforts.
Tons more after the jump:
OK, onto the toys!

This is the first ever showing of the off-the-charts Debris Japan painted figure. The accessories and details are insane! Besides the sofubi figure, you've got paper, metal, and resin parts. Plus, there are something like 7 points of articulation! Abe-san told me the debut release of the figure is expected to drop this summer.
 |
| This is another upcoming character, which will be sold just as a head. |
Atelier Pu:
Stay tuned for Part 2 of my Design Festa report, which will feature art, performances, cosplay, and a whole lot more!
