JerseyFest is a niche specialty show that’s pretty rare in the USA, with the focus on all things model, sculpting, and painting related in the world of fiction, including figures and vehicles. Pre-painted statues/figures, including very rare ones, are also on display and for sale. We will have lots more than usual at our 2016 show. We will once again have plenty of Kaiju.
Many people from all over the USA and abroad attend the show each year. We have a big and spectacular model contest and exhibits in a gallery room, and expert demos/presentations (e.g., on painting, sculpting, movie makeup and effects, etc.) running throughout the day in separate rooms on Saturday and Sunday - all included with price of admission into the show.
So, if you're a collector, not only will you be able to buy amazing and rare pieces, but many of the secrets of the statue/figure creation process will be revealed. And the social aspects and partying that goes on throughout the hotel all weekend long, especially in the evenings, are the “icing on the cake”.
Our special guest presenters at prior shows included film effects and model making legends from Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Predator, Alien vs. Predator, Star Trek, Avatar, Hellboy, Hulk, 300, Planet of the Apes and more.
