Wonder Festival [official site]. One of a few times a year figure collectors around the world wish that their parents decided to raise them in Japan instead of [insert other country here] or that they had the expendable income to take off for a week trip to Japan.
Or maybe it's just me. If you haven't heard of Wonder Festival [wikipedia] think of it as a giant mecca of figures where amateur circles and professional companies come together to display and sell their latest works. For example, the legendary BUBBA of Thunder Butt Nagato and God Knows Haruhi fame will be attending with his newest creation, Ink-sensei (pictured above, and you can find an alternative picture here. Yes, that is a cat head. No, I don't know where a non-censored version of that is, you fucking lolicon).
Good Smile Company will also be in attendance with a variety of exclusive goods (to be shown after the break).
