Pikopiko Monster Series - Bekkosu Berry Purple ver

The Tokyo Wonder Festival (ワンダーフェスティバル), or Wonfes (ワンフェス, Wanfesu), is a semiannual (February and August) event held in the Makuhari Messe, in Chiba, Japan. It is sponsored by the Kaiyodo manufacturing company. The main focus is to display and sell "garage kits", which are sculptures that usually represent anime and game characters, but also popular mecha/sci-fi characters and creatures such as Kuratas. These models are extremely detail oriented, and many of these sculptures appear in very small quantities due to the amateur nature of their reproduction. Pico Pico is a distinguished Japanese artist and toymaker celebrated for his innovative contributions to the sofubi (soft vinyl) art toy scene. Renowned for his intricate designs and masterful craftsmanship, Pico Pico has collaborated with various artists and toy companies, producing a diverse array of unique figures that resonate with collectors and enthusiasts. Pico Pico’s work has been showcased in various exhibitions, including a significant event at MEDICOM TOY PLUS in Omotesando Hills, celebrating his 20th anniversary as a kaiju artist. This exhibition featured over 50 custom-painted figures by renowned artists, highlighting his influence and standing in the sofubi community. Through his imaginative designs and collaborative projects, Pico Pico continues to enrich the art toy landscape, bridging traditional Japanese monster culture with contemporary artistry, and leaving a lasting impact on collectors and fellow artists alike.
