I really didn't make any effort to take photos - I was too busy taking in all the sights. There were a TON of great kits though. Mostly original designs, and very few Universal Monsters and the like, which was fine by me. At a guess, there were 30-40 vendors selling kits. A couple of my favorites...

Mana studios had an amazing Nina Dolono.

George Tsougkouzidis was sharing a table with Nikita Lebedev that was PACKED with kits. I could have spent every penny I had at this table alone.

There have been a bunch of photos and videos posted on Instagram. Raf Grassetti, Igor Catto, and Glauco Longhi had a really cool table and have posted a bunch of kit videos on their IG feeds - here's a link to Raf's story with show content starting about halfway through. https://www.instagram.com/stories/highl ... 122/?hl=en

I had a fairly meager budget for purchases, but this was what I took home. George's beautiful Baba Yaga bust and a Cthulhu magnet, Igor's tiny Teddy Bear, and Mark Newman's Pint Sized Punk.

I like that (love Akihito's style) - but not as much as the one he did a couple of years ago (I think THAT was on display as well).

Thanks for the pic.

This encouraging news.. at least that many producers are not stuck in the past..
They hopefully are the ones who keep this hobby going.

It was a blast. My first time. Initial line was LONG.... but once doors opened it flowed fast. Will be on my list for next year. The line for a Paul Ruben autograph was crazy!! Bruce Campbell is definitely a arrogant one...

Been going to the Apr. Monsterpalooza show for the last 4-5 years, and I can honestly say there were more resin kits this year than in any year passed. It was very cool to see new original design pieces as well as some new prepaints. There was a lot of fantastic 2D Art on display there too.

Love that show.....

It was a really great show this year! So much resin it was almost overwhelming!!
George Tsougkouzidis table was covered with tons of cool resin kits!

I highly recommend everyone make it out to this show at least once.

It's always an amazing time!!
