takes place twice a year - once in Winter and once in Summer.
The second Wonder Festival of 2017 is set to be held at the
Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan on the 30th July 2017. Good Smile Company and Max Factory will be attending the event

performances on stage, but also introduce parts of the booth
and be sure to show everyone around the world what is going on

BOOTH INFO
As usual, the booth will feature a huge variety of brand new figures for fans to enjoy - from the latest painted prototypes, to unpainted newer works and even simply new product announcements! Like last time. there will be a 'No Photo' time which will start from 16:30 and last until the end of the event. This period will allow more fans to come by and see the figures without the long queues of others trying to take photos. If you do wish to take your own photos, please be sure to come to the booth before 16:30.
The booth will also be celebrating Max Factory's 30th Anniversary and will feature a special area looking back on the history of Max Factory over the years, as well as some interesting Max Factory related goods and handouts! Stay tuned for more information!
*Photos are from the Max Factory 25th Anniversary held in 2013.

CAMPAIGN
As a part of the Max Factory 30th Anniversary we want our fans outside of Japan to let us know what their favorite new announcement on the WHL4U26 Photo Gallery is, together with a comment within 130 characters that explains what makes you love it! (Photo Gallery opens on the 30th July at 09:30AM)
We will select the most interesting comments and have them translated into Japanese, English and Chinese together with a reply from the figure planner and place them on this site. Up to ten comments that are selected to be placed on the site will also be sent the "PLAMAX minimum factory 1/20 MAX Watanabe" - a plastic model kit of the Max Factory CEO himself, as well as the exclusive fan from the event as a prize!
