Superfestival 72 in pictures…

Marking the first of my visual round-ups from the last week of my trip to Tokyo, I bring you guys some of the finest sofubi, keshi and resin that graced the halls of Superfestival 72 at the Tokyo Science Museum this past Sunday. Whilst I spent most of the day on-hand at the Rampage Toys, Galaxy People and Fig-Lab booth with a few releases of my own, I did manage to catch up with many of the artists we feature here at Softoy Hobby, chew the fat and of course, bag some of my favourite pieces as well…
