Kaiju/Musume

In the heartland of anime, manga and games, Akihabara, Schatz Kiste is a maid cafe dedicated to spreading Akihabara's culture to Japan and the world. And now, indie soft vinyl kaiju are invading!

Kaiju and Cute Girls
Shock and Moe
Old-School Japan and Modern Akiba
3D and 2D

What will happen when these elements come together? The only thing guaranteed is that it's definitely something you don't want to miss!







Featured creators will be bringing new original figures for display and sale, and original photography and illustrations featuring a blend of Kaiju and Akiba culture will be on display. Creators will also be stopping in periodically through the week so guests can get a first-hand view of the creative process and inspiration behind their creations.

Featured makers:

Blobpus
Dr. Strange Toys
ILANENA
Monstock!!
Velocitron
Vinyl Junkies
Yamazakura

Opening Party: Feb 26, 19:30
