Comic Convention @ Suntec

Big thanks to Daniel to introduce me to this Comic Convention. I have no regrets going for this event as there were many sights and sounds so close to me. We left from church at about 12.40pm, picked Kelvin up. Amazingly, many of the youths joined us, Christian even joining us on his crutches. Most of us wanted to find out more about the event, Daniel was there on a mission to find his big Marvel Hulk collectible.

Although it was disappointing to find that the convention only consisted one corner of level 6, the stuff inside the hall was sufficed. We were greeted by cosplayers at the entrance of the hall. It was way better than the Vivo city cosplayer; many genuine costumes and many more fans. There were plenty of familiar characters, like Naruto, Bleach, Gundam, Vampire Knights, D. Gray Man, and also unfamiliar characters, one even coming on stage with a replica of an angel's wing. Besides Cosplaying, there were others flaunting their skills with their drawings. I met up with inspiring Singaporean artists of all sorts, many of them showing the ingenuity of their drawing skills in terms of drawing and colouring. I was totally excited about the whole thing.

Toys were everywhere. There were the oriental kinds of all sorts; Power Rangers, Gundam, Transformers, and cute block toys, and the Western ones as well, such as Marvel and DC Superheros, Star Trek, Star Wars, Predators and Aliens! Although Daniel couldnt find what he was looking for, there were plenty of Hulk figurines everywhere on the shelves, though a little smaller to what he has described.

And these were some of the cool stuff we saw at the convention centre~!
