The Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention is back for the 2nd year round, this time with fewer Cosplayers, fewer young, independent (and supposedly more interesting) start-ups and more major toy establishments (ToysRUs, Simply Toys, Action City) taking up large amount of exhibition space to clear old stock. For the Little Red Dot, this is the closest we can get to Comic Con, but no where near!
Nintendo was huge, covering a good deal of booth space featuring their latest Motion Sensor Wiimote in Wii Sport Resort. My "Wii" instincts naturally kicked in. Any try at Wii Sports gets you a goodie bag stocked with a July back issue of T3 magazine, a pack of Pokemon hologram cards, EXteel free trial CD-ROM and a whole bunch of Nintendo marketing and promo brouchers.
June got herself 5 sec seconds of fame on Prime Time News acting rather silly - 'cycling'
Guitar Hero also had its own jam stage which Wendy (on drums), myself (on lead guitar) and mystery guy (on bass guitar) rocked to Heart's "Barracuda".
Too bad June preferred to cheer us on down stage, she would have made a great lead vocals!
Tucked away in a corner was an enclosed booth featuring Wii's rated 18 and above video games. We all kind of enjoyed "Bikini Zombie Slaves", violently slashing zombies with a samurai sword (which brought out the Kill Bill in me) or a machine gun; which was preferred by Wendy. No doubt she's naturally the shoot and kill sort. On that note, Sony's Playstation and Microsoft's XBox 360 were no where to be seen!
Goofing around at the Monopoly Booth!
Transformers was a sure favourite. Display cases showcasing old school original Transformer toys.
I enjoyed Action City's "Where The Wild Things Are" figures. Was told that the toys are estimated to be retailing at S$70 each when they arrive. Tempting... tempting... 
Where's Wall-E?

I feel I reached a good end through destructive means.......
ReplyDeleteI am generally a peace loving person. But an occasional slash and burn once in a blue moon is noted to be quite a stress release.
