For avid
figure collectors out there, one of the most anticipated (and dreaded) figure
events at the start of 2014 is Winter Wonder Festival or Winter WonFes. For those
not familiar, Winter WonFes is a bi-annual event held in Makuharu Messe in
Chiba, Japan. It is a figure event where “garage kits” are displayed and sold
as artists replicate anime and game characters. This is also an event for
various figure manufacturers to sell and display their future releases. In
other words, this event is sort of “heaven” and “hell” for avid figure
collectors.
