Super Festival 61 (スーパーフェスティバル61) Part 1: Indie Toys

Today's Super Festival, the first of 2013, saw an enthusiastic gathering of toy makers, new and vintage toy dealers, TV heroes, and fans.

It was a very nice, though chilly winter's morning in Tokyo.

The toy faithful arrived by 7:00 AM to get a lottery ticket to participate in the early morning sales.

Here's Part 1 of Kaiju Korner's SF 61 report: indie toys. The makers are arranged alphabetically.
