Some pretty cool stuff this year.

Here's Itokin Park's booth:



I'll put up a bunch more pics on KK after I get some sleep.

Holy crap that's a lot of Luchas.
I see a few are Samples.
And who made the Lucha mask?
That's pretty rad.

After seeing in these and the rainbow lucha..I think I wanna start collecting these. Likin' that panda lucha.

Hot damn! There's a few in there that are a must have. I love the Lucha mask. Is that clear glitter on the second row? This really is a fun sculpt; there's so much that can be done with it.

Yup. Clear glitter Lucha.

Nice! Check out the bottom row to the left. Clear with hologram chips and the light purple marble.

Wait...I'm looking at these and I don't see any customs with any brass knuckles. I thought the brass knuckles were going to be on the customs for the show. The only ones I see are on the black prototypes.

Those look so killer.
Especially Lash's customs.

Wow I feel so privileged to be in that display , made my day

I said it before, this sculpt will grow on you, once it does you will wish you jumped sooner. Cant wait for the panda and junk yard dog. I also hope to somehow score the cheif release.

These where made after the fact, I WISH had some to give away with mine.

I like the custom lash and dp did that had 1 eye look bruised up.

I also like the El Diablo.

I dont know, this sculpt hasn't hit me yet. i guess i dont really get "it"

Got agree with LASH here. This sculpt is a lot of fun and it has so much potential for so many great customs . It can go from happy-go-lucky to down right sinister.

Jeff the brass knuckles were only there on display with the debut unpainted black figures. They were really cool - removable even!

I agree this figure has also grown on me. Walking around DF I realized just how huge lucha culture is in Japan. It's a major underground force. In terms of IP's sofubi Lucha, in its short life, we've already seen how much people can do with it. I think it's awesome that IP has let a number of artists work on it already.

Lest there be any doubt of Rich's mastery of the medium:

Now that I did not know! So cool!

Rich is beyond belief! His work seriously ceases to amaze me. My faves of the four are the two off to the left.

WOW!


knuckles are great

those knuckles and wrist bands really liven it up. gives it some more character.

I just put a full Design Festa report up on KK.

Awesome report andy.

That CKA booth is so cool with the Dempa displayed with an old tv set. And Bemons!!!

Nice report andy.
Some great looking Luchas coming up!

I also have to admit the sculpt has grown on me and is the first Itokin toy I've bought.

Lash, these are absolutely fucking incredible

Just put up a bunch of pics from Day 2.

I was surprised to find so many booths had changed. Seems a ton of people (including Itokin Park) were only there for one day.

Anyway this time around, I just put up a bunch of pics. Here's one resin fellow I was stoked to pick up:

Softo-san!

Thanks for all the kind words guys, and I told you these guys will grow on you

And Andy that last resin figure is awesome, looks like an old American halloween toy or something.

Thanks Andy, for yet another great coverage!

Looks like one big weird and crazy party!
