Five Points Festival, a designer toy, street, and alternative art festival is excited to announce the return of the much-anticipated event for 2018! Taking place the weekend of June 2-3rd, 2018 - at the awesome Brooklyn Expo Center, the festival will bring together the shining stars of the Designer Toy, Kaiju & Sofubi, Craft Beer, Food and alternative art worlds.
Featuring a dynamic lineup of counterculture artists and artisans from around the world. The event is a 2-day celebration of toy designers and customizers with an extensive international Neo-Kaiju and Sofubi section, original street art, independent comic artists, gourmet food trucks and craft beer presented by Clutter Magazine and sponsored by 50 Years of The Outer Spacemen, and Lagunitas Brewing Company.

Enthusiasts familiar with art toys will have the chance to meet some of the world’s most iconic artists and brands like Huck Gee, Instinctoy, Kidrobot, James Groman, Jason Freeny, Ron English, Super7, Tara McPherson, and Mighty Jaxx on the show floor, where they will be featured alongside artists from the U.S., Japan, Germany, Korea, the U.K. and elsewhere, some showcasing in NYC for the first time, and all with unique, original pieces for sale. Anyone who has attended mainstream art shows or comic cons will find something completely unique at Five Points – a gathering of visual innovators, rebels, creators, and the misfits that are driving the future of commercial & counterculture art.

Tickets to Five Points also include access to a gathering of some of NYC’s outstanding craft breweries and food trucks serving during all regular Festival hours. VIP Ticket holders will gain special early access privileges each day of the Festival, as well as entry to Friday night’s Designer Toy Awards, the world’s premier accolade for designer toy artists, and an all-around excellent party.

The Outer Space Men are Celebrating 50 Years of Toy Innovation at Five Points Festival!
Five Points Festival show sponsor, The Outer Space Men, are set to display brand new 12" and 8ft versions of the epic Colossus Rex figure!

Hitting the scene in 1968 and licensed to Colorforms, The Outer Space Men were a group of seven bendable action figures designed by toy inventor Mel Birnkrant. Each of the original seven figures represented beings from other planets in our solar system including Alpha 7, The Man From Mars; Astro-Nautilus, The Man From Neptune; Commander Comet, The Man From Venus; Colossus Rex, The Man From Jupiter; Electron+, The Man From Pluto; Orbitron, The Man From Uranus; and Xodiac - The Man From Saturn.

After their initial success, they faded from the public eye in 1969 after man walked on the moon. It was in 2008 that wall street executive and co-owner of The Outer Space Men, Gary Schaeffer, published the long-awaited graphic novel reintroducing a whole new generation to The Outer Space Men world. With the huge success of the graphic novel, Birnkrant and Schaeffer issued a license to the four horsemen studios (seventh kingdom, mythic legions, masters of the universe) and released a new series of action figures.

To celebrate this auspicious occasion Clutter Studios has produced an 8ft tall Colossus Rex. Working for the past 4 months, Clutter Studios used 3D scanning and printing technology, to scan one of the original Colossus Rex figures and upscale it to both 12” and 8 ft tall. 3D printing both versions, Clutter Studios assembled and finished an 8ft version with full articulation and a genuinely deadly two-handed battle mace!

Sixpoint Brewery x Czee13 Present Equal Measures: An exclusive brew for Five Points Festival 2018!
Thirsty New Yorkers, comic collectors, and art toy enthusiasts will all find something exciting at the Five Points Festival, a designer toy and comic convention presented by Clutter Magazine and Lagunitas Brewing Company and sponsored by The Outer Space Men.

Redhook, BKYLN based Sixpoint Brewery, is returning with another special beer brewed for the Five Points Festival. Last year we poured an exclusive Mad Scientist Sour, and this year Sixpoint is cooking up something brand new.

Sixpoint Brewery’s head brewer, Marcus Lutter, has been working in collaboration with UK Street artist and toy designer, Czee13 to create an exclusive New England style IPA with Galaxy and Enigma hops in equal measures. This blend of original artwork and masterful brewing techniques has a huge aroma with notes of candied orange, grapefruit and mango.

At Five Points Fest, part of our mission is to bring together art and lifestyle, like the great novelist and poet Charles Bukowski once said, “When you’re walking through a museum looking at the world's masterpieces, where the **** is the bar?”

Last year the collaboration brew sold out within twenty minutes of the festival’s opening, so this year Five Points Fest has set up tappings on both days. This exclusive brew will be tapped on June 2nd and 3rd at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm respectively.
