Makuhari Messe Location

Wonder Festival

One of Japan’s largest figure events, Wonder Festival! At the corporate booths, you can see and purchase newly released figures, while the dealer booths feature a wide variety of three-dimensional works, including garage kits and pre-painted finished figures.

At Wonder Festival, the same-day licensing system allows many items to be distributed and sold only at the event venue. Some works are not available through general retail distribution, and for some, this event may be the last chance to obtain them, so it is recommended to check any items of interest early.
