It's a hot summer in the city of Tokyo. And what better way to spend one of those hot days than looking at the coolest new figures at Wonder Festival 2023 [Summer]? While only a highlight of the figures on display, they're sure to cool you off.
While the commercial booths had several familiar characters on display, many were a new take on what we've seen. On top of this, a handful of independent and original properties were also on display. But, something that stood out was the smattering of plush figures in the commercial area.
