The love of my life is in town! Yep, the Taipei Toy Festival (the bilingual Web site has information on designers, as well as directions), which runs until Sunday, July 12. I went to report on it today and, I know I said something similar after last year's festival, but the whole day was the most amazing mental joyride ever. This year's event is at Huashan Culture Park (華山創意園區, huà shān chuàng yì yuán oū) on Bade Rd. and there are a lot of new exhibitors. I have an article about the Taipei Toy Festival that is coming out on Wednesday, and I'll share more photos from the event after then.

Hi Catherine. Thanks for stopping by My Several Worlds. I was at the toy show last year and it was awesome. I'm really glad to hear that this year is going to be even better. I'll be sure to check back on Wednesday for a full update.
I'm specifically on the lookout for CI Boys, Crazy Label, Tokidoki, and House of Liu (I want the latest Mei-Mei). Which designers are your favorites?
Hi Carrie! This year I was particularly taken with Apple Kingdom from Hong Kong (they have really cool t-shirts and postcards in addition to figures), the 8-inch wood grain Qees from Toys2R (the "wood grain" is printed on and each one is different), Momo Tarou by Half Dozen and the Bubble Fun Treeson from Crazy Label. I think you'll love the Crazy Label booth this year... they have some really great new stuff. If you are a Treeson fan, they now have a blind box series of Ren figures.
Looks like so much fun!
I love festivals like this :)
Hi Aya,
Yes, it was pretty awesome! I had a great time. Thanks for your comments!
Catherine
