The first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention was held over the weekend (27-29 June 2008). This inaugural event – a platform made by fans for fans – featured a host of toys (general and designer), comics, animation, gaming, design, licensing and Cosplay from creative minds from all over the world, serving up an eye-popping visual feast and unprecedented variety and innovation in all the closely-related industries.

As I had so thoroughly enjoyed myself last year in the Games Convention Asia 2007, I just cannot miss this mouth-watering event with universal appeal of pop-culture and to celebrate with fellow fans our passion for toys, comics, animation, game.

Exhibitors I saw included global players like Hasbro, Ban Dai, LEGO, Animax, DC Comics, and home-grown brands like Dollz Inc and Play Imaginative, to name a few. Join me as I journeyed through this fun-filled event that promised to bring out the best East and West have to offer.

Take a video tour of the event and take in the sights and the sounds.

This video shows a heck of an awesome exhibit any self-respecting Star Wars fans should not miss!

Three weeks of almost daily waking up at 2.45am and going back to bed at 5am before waking up again at 7am to drag my tired body (and soul) to work had resulted in me coming down with a fever, the Euro fever, that is.

Now that Euro 2008 is over, I’m sure the fever will gradually subside. I can go back to my normal routine (in everything) and it’s time to head back to the office with feelings of freshness and ready to do battle!
