BMecha @Toy Carnival Singapore!
July 5th, 2009
Today, July 5 2009 I went to the Singapore Art Museum, not for the arts but for the Toy Carnival. As expected, It is great and crowded (=_=). The carnival took place at both 1st and 2nd floor, where I saw toys, cosplayers, people, more toys, and more people. They are giving away free candy floss and comic books too :D.

The Toy Sales
Usually I dislike crowded places but I’ll forgive it for this event, because there are lots and lots of toy sales, which is so exciting! Most of them are selling Figma, Revoltech, ACG Figurines, Star Wars and Transformers. ACG / Toy Events are great timing for fans to get the best deal with lower price. I managed to buy 10 Revoltech Figures today!
Figmas are selling at SG$25 & 28 each!
Some Star Wars toy for display
Comics are selling at SG$1 each. It is 1/4 price of usual manga O_o.
Star Wars and Kamen Rider (Masked Rider) Cosplayers
Unlike the usual cosplay event where you get to see anime characters, the cosplayers today are Star Wars, Kamen Rider and Military soldiers. Star Wars Troopers made a great scene today. They are moving as a team of 4-5 persons around the 1st floor. Darth Vader and Obi Wan are there too! And I saw 5 Kamen Riders standing side by side :>.
Storm Troopers are walking in the crowd.
The Indian movie coconut tree moves O_o
Why you hug the tree instead of the girl?
4 Kamen Riders (Shadow Moon is my favourite).
Saw another Kamen Rider :>
My loots @Toy Carnival
All of them are Revoltech Figurines, which include Hot Rod, Star Scream, VF-1S (Skull Leader), VF-1J Max, VF-1F Miria, Asuka (Fraulein), Protect Gear, Kauser II, Camus and Jagi. I’m glad that my Revoltech Macross series and Revoltech DMC series are completed :D. The Arc Gurren Lagann is not from the Toy Carnival, I bought it from other place after I left the event. Review is coming soon :>.
Friends that visited Toy Carnival @SAM
Too bad I din take enough photos, if you want to know more, check out the following blogs for more photos:
Congratulations on completing your Macross Revoltech series! I also completed mine earlier this year. While the VF-1S if my favorite, I think the regult is the best, even if it isn’t to scale with the others.
Wow figma for sg25?? huhu a bargain .. nice loot ^^
the place seem small~~ even gordon are there ^^
@ghostlightning: thank you. Regult is really great, I have 3 of them. The size should be proportion to the valkyries.
@Razrig: Yea, too bad i’m not really a figma collector, else I’ll “bleed” more. Sad that not able to meet you guys. Maybe next time we plan a toy trip ;)
How come your picture angles are so high T____T
You must be really tall!
Anyway lets try to meet up @ the next event!
@kodomut I got long arms, like orang utan *ROFL*
I was using my camera phone, it is pretty handy to hold it up and snap ;D
We should exchange phone number before we go to the next event.
@B-Mecha
Wow, 3 regults! I don’t think they’re up to scale because a battloid is the size of a Zentraedi pilot. No way the Revoltech battloids would fit in the Regult figures!
damn. I WANT THAT MIRIA!!!
Speaking of that, I plan to buy a few Regults too!
Wah you got some good cosplay pictures! I will link you over at my blog in the event for pple to look at the funny photos you shot. You know those guys?
@ghostlightning: hmm thats true. but in the anime regult always give me the impression of 150% taller than valkyrie.
@goldries: regult is cool, get them in team like 3-4 and fight your valkyries!
@LEon: no problem. i just happen to be there when they are having outdoor photography session. i don’t know any of them :)
