Summer Soul 2019 & Toy-Maker Lab (July 28)
Before the year-end annual "collectible toys"-focused "Toy Soul" event in Hong Kong (Dec 13-15), there is the mid-year event known as "Summer Soul 2019" (I think of it as a "twice a year WonderFest", myself :p), scheduled for a one-day only event on Sunday July 28th (11am to 7pm) at Rotunda 2, 3/F, Kowloon Bay International Trade & Exhibition Centre,1 Trademart Dr, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong.
Head on over to their Facebook @toysoulhk and Instagram @toysoulhk for updated features on individual artists and offerings (some of which are featured here), and as well event info such as entry gifts, ticket sales and highlights of the show.
The first ever 「 TOY-MAKER LAB 」 has also been announced to take place during Summer Soul, whereby a team of over 30 individual Toy brands+artists all over the world have been gathered, with the theme, "How toy maker did an experiment in a laboratory"?
