G-Fest 2023 Walk Through

[@CryptidTactical]

Thanks for posting fellow G-Force member!

[@toyhaven]

Welcome, so many cool things to see there, and we miss a lot by going on Sunday

[@CaesarPlaYz]

It was cool there, my first time goin, i was Caesar

[@toyhaven]

I wish we could go on the costume day but I have to work. We go on Sundays so we miss alot dressed up.

[@eastlondonblues]

relatively new G-fan here, and I was nerding out for pretty much every second of this video!

[@toyhaven]

Yep, there is a lot to see there

[@Conan.197_]

17:43 yo boy said metal on was awsome!!!WOOWOOO

[@empireofhouse87]

Nice video!

[@toyhaven]

Thanks so much!

[@empireofhouse87]

@@toyhaven You’re welcome! I so have to make it next year!

[@toyhaven]

@empireofhouse87 I'm lucky it's only a 40 minute drive for us.

[@YoursTrulyThe1Pony]

Being a huge Goji fan I need to one day go to G-fest

[@toyhaven]

The guests they can have there is pretty cool too

[@Holidaysearxh]

The Mothra cosplay was cool

[@toyhaven]

Yeah. It stinks we don't see much on Sundays

[@FourKaiju]

10:15 Cuz of the reds and yellows, it felt like a meat market instead of figures lol. I honestly would be interested in some Goji meat.

[@toyhaven]

Might even be cheaper than some of the vinyl figures.

[@vp_wrld]

I thought the same thing lol

[@Do0mSl4yer95]

These are beautifully crafted. Id buy a good majority of the stuff here. That tall man-sized Godzilla statue is too mesmerizing Id study every detail on it. The Pumkpin Head and Pitt busts almost made me crawl through the phone too. They looked so official 😮 The city set ups were badass too. Reminded me of how I'd set up my Godzilla toys when I was little and even gave me ideas to do it now. All the little explosions surrounding the scenes 😂😊 I gotta go to one of these.

[@toyhaven]

Checkout our 2022 video. About 30 mins in we hit the art rooms. There was an insane diorama display

[@The0unhappy0one]

Imagine a g-fest in Brazil would be good for me because I'm from Brazil

[@toyhaven]

We do have other monsterfests, hopefully someone can organize something down there. It's 30 years old now this year.

[@mechagojira6951]

I notice at 8:41 Gaiking and Raydeen...the Shogun Warriors. Which I loved as a kid. No GODZILLA one though...prob missing the shooting fist. Lol..I have a Xmas pic of me holding my cat and Gaiking...Raydeen and Godzilla in the pic w the tree behind me...I must have been all of 8 or 9 yrs old😅

[@toyhaven]

@@mechagojira6951 Nice, I love old Christmas pics

[@rystoysandstuff5834]

Loved this!

[@toyhaven]

Thanks so much!

[@mechagojira6951]

Oh yeah i just noticed Godzilla Shogun Warrior in a box at 10:04...

[@京山竜士]

行ってみたいな。

[@lizard_king_productions]

Hey you got me drawing at the Titanic Creations booth! I saw you recording and I was so hoping this would hit KZbin and I finally got to see your video!!

[@toyhaven]

Very cool. I've noticed more G-Fest videos popping up recently

[@oityancyobi3464]

カッコイイ――！！！チャンネル登録しました！！！👍👍👍👍👍！！！

[@TheMe-Di-O-CrePanda]

Can’t wait to be back this year!

[@toyhaven]

For sure! I wish we could go on a Saturday, but always busy

[@godzillakong6597]

I’m going this year and am really hoping ymsf figures are there

[@toyhaven]

Just get there early

[@sunneversetsonthebritishempire]

17:59 RODAN IS CHOKING

[@toyhaven]

It does look like he's struggling. I do think those figures look pretty good

[@sunneversetsonthebritishempire]

@@toyhavenyeah

[@PepasGarage]

13:44 I believe those are from Evangelion

[@toyhaven]

Sure looks like it, thank you

[@primal84]

Which Zilla figure is that at 17:00? And how tall?

[@toyhaven]

That's the Y-MSF table.

[@countryballsandkaijus9845]

I went there

[@toyhaven]

It's always a good time

[@charlesalmada4486]

Nice which veritech was that one robotech right

[@toyhaven]

Pretty much, Macross

[@Abnormal_07]

Damn i really wanna go to G-Fest 😔

[@BrandonZamora-p2n]

Damn I missed out on g fest because there is some Godzilla figures I really want to buy😢😢😟😕🙁

[@toyhaven]

JULY 11-13, 2025. Mark you calendar

[@RobertGonzales-c8d]

McLaughlin Lodge

[@XyFrance813]

I wish I could go to the next one in 2024 but I live so far away

[@toyhaven]

Lucky enough here it's just a 30/40min drive

[@spiralflame88]

I have been turned off from buying figurines at conventions because vendors overpriced their stuff.

[@toyhaven]

A lot of Godzilla stuff is expensive in general

[@gekopedro7073]

R.I.P 😢

[@kaioken654]

$200 for a plastic figure with no articulation? I can buy a fully articulated sh monsterarts for half that.

[@toyhaven]

Yeah I'm not crazy about the prices, but I guess enough are fine with them

[@Mrstealyosr71]

Which one was that much?

[@toyhaven]

@@Mrstealyosr71 ha, most. Godzilla stuff can get pretty expensive.

[@jameskerr8091]

Some really neat stuff but the prices seem really inflated.

[@toyhaven]

Especially when you see tables with multiples of the same item, the prices should really be dropped.

[@bryankacz6431]

16:09 - ULTRAMAN Merch Has ALWAYS been cheaper>>> Your 1st Time at 'One-of-These'?

[@toyhaven]

Isn't that what I just said, better deals going the Ultraman route

[@KronoGarrett]

Hmm, apparently people's brains malfunction when they see *that thing*. I wonder why?

[@toyhaven]

Which thing is that?

[@AlbertLorraine-t1y]

Charlotte Courts

[@vp_wrld]

For me, the Bandai stuff is too expensive to ever justify buying. Especially as an adult where I know I wouldn’t actually play with them and instead set them on a shelf. The value just isn’t there. Anymore, I am only interested in either big and detailed statues or tiny 2-3 inch figures I can set on my desk or something

[@toyhaven]

Too expensive for kid to play with as well, ha

[@zioncinema7349]

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO DAMN EXPENSIVE?!

[@toyhaven]

Big G prices

[@DaisyAninzo-jp9jy]

Saan yan

[@toyhaven]

Rosemont, IL

[@truthspitter8156]

The prices have always kept me from G-Fest sadly i know id spend way more than i need to so i just stay away....

[@toyhaven]

That has happened to me in the past

[@SkorpiosaurPrimeYT]

Too bad I couldn’t go it was too far :(

[@toyhaven]

Rosemont is the hot bed for Kaiju shows. The third one this year is happening this weekend

[@SkorpiosaurPrimeYT]

@@toyhaven WHAT, but i still can’t go :(

[@Hashbrown0079]

You need to talk louder bro. Could barely hear you

[@toyhaven]

Yep, it can definitely get loud in some of these places.

[@Tyrantresister]

You should ask before touching things on someone's table!

[@toyhaven]

Vendors will put signs up if they don't want people touching something

[@Tyrantresister]

@@toyhaven not always. Never assume something like that.

[@toyhaven]

@Tyrantresister as a vendor myself, the responsibility is on us. Handling carefully is one thing, but not touching is completely different. I put higher priced items more out of reach from little kids as they might not be as careful, but people are able to inspect items. There are cases that figures can go into if someone doesn't want that. And really, most of it is done for theft.

[@frankiebullitt]

@Tyrantresister🤣

Definitely a dream from my childhood
