Img_7828The PopCult Toybox

Wonderfest USA took place a couple of weeks ago, but we still have tons of photos to bring you.Today we’re going to look around the dealer room and see some of the special guests who showed up. Wonderfest is primarily a convention for model-builders and the big attraction is the huge model contest room. What’s cool about the convention is that you can find many of the raw model kits for sale in the dealer room, along with paints, modeling plastics, tools as well as toys, T-shirts, posters, magazines and tons of other cool things.

Next week we’re going to head back to the model contest room, but today we look at the dealers and guests rooms. You’ll find a few captions, but for the most part we’ll let the pictures do the talking.

Master artist and designer, William Stout. It's an honor to meet this guy.
