Our extensive photo coverage of WonderFest USA continues, more than a week after the event in Louisville, Kentucky wrapped up! Technical issues here at the blog have forced your PopCulteer to dole these images out in smaller batches than we had become accustomed to in previous years.

Since we’re hosting the images off-site for the time being, I’m going to push the envelope this time and see if I can get away with cramming fifteen photos in this essay.  They’ll be cool images, like the dealer selling the huge busts you see at right.

And this time around we are taking another look at the cool model kits devoted to Monsters.We’ll start in the dealer’s room and then trek on over to the model contest.

Our previous photo essays can be found by scrolling down the main page of PopCult, or searching “WonderFest” over in that little box on your right. Once we’re done, I’ll post a master list with links.

Now, it’s Monster Time!
