Stash from STGCC 2009

I missed last year’s convention and I’m glad I made it for the preview this time round!

Yes! I’m talking about Singapore Toy Games & Comic Convention! I was expecting a little more then what I saw, but still it was good! Might pop by over the weekend to get more toys if I’m in the area.

Above are things I bought and got from the convention. If I had any more cash with me, I might end up with more! I am very very weak at cute and photograph-able toys!

Let me give you a quick rundown on some of the exhibitors at Singapore Toy Games and Comic Convention. Do note that I am only sharing those that interest me, there are much more to see and drool for.

First up, The Dooodolls from Malaysia.

Dooodolls at STGCC

Created by Darren Chen, a graphic designer by day and moonlights as a yoga teacher by night. Dooodolls started from his love of drawing; a passion so great that he wanted to bring his creations to live, and to share them with friends and loved ones.

I love the touch and feel of Dooodolls. Made from fine Softlon, the plushies are sooo huggable and ohhh-sooo-nice to touch! I loveee it! If that big red fellow a.k.a. Reddish was available for sale at $60, I would have brought it home immediately! Sadly, it was not for sale. And $60 was the price of a 24-inch plush. The yellow fellow a.k.a. Missy Micey is from the series of horoscope collection. Yap, that’s for my zodiac. She is a protector of Mother Nature and all things living. Sounds like a cancerian alright!

Go check Dooodolls out at Booth C05.

Next, there’s this group of young and cheerful team from 2:Spot Studio.

2:Spot Studio

2:Spot Studio is from Bangkok, Thailand. Their design philosohy is to make emotional character brand that kids will understand and love at first sight. They have five different characters under their belt and my favorite among them is Bloody Bunny!

Based on a short animation, Bloody Bunny is a discarded bunny doll who comes to life to avenge for its long lost owner. The story is set in a dark gothic world where dolls are living creatures with good and evil purposes.

I forgot to ask how much the price for Bloody Bunny figurine! Now looking at the photo, I am tempted to bring one home! Only bought the keyring and a purse with Bloody Bunny on it.

2:Spot Studio is exhibiting at Booth D06.

The next one shouldn’t be unfamiliar to the general public here in Singapore. You see this piece of white tofu everywhere, even in your wet market!

To-Fu Oyako and Designer Devilrobots

These cute To-Fu and many other characters are available at Play Imaginative (pi.) booth located at the extreme right side of the convention hall, J11. I was eyeing on the 4-inch baby To-Fu which was selling at $20. Good thing my eyes darted fast enough to spot the membership recruitment counter for pi. For $20 sign-up fee, I’ll get Baby To-Fu, a Strawberry To-Fu notebook and my choice of membership card design for pi. More value for money lah! So now, I’ll get 10% discount at Play imaginative store at Iluma. This is NOT a good sign! *looks at wallet*

Before I left the convention, I exchanged $10 of one-dollar coins and spinned for the To-Fu Oyako magnets. I should have spinned till I get the full set! Now I’ve got 4 from the series of 7. *heart itchy*

That’s all I’m going to share with you! Go check out the convention yourself this weekend! Bring lots of CASH yio! Muahahaha!

Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convetion 2009
Suntec Convention Hall 401 – 402
14 to 16 August 2009

Go read TOYSREVIL blog for more updates! He’s the official blogger for STGCC2009 wor! Don’t play play k! He is Singaporean!

I spent an hour trying to get our tickets booked online for GV Tampines but the server is overloaded and they didn’t take any effort to upgrade it I guess. So we tried Eng Wah and were so happy we managed to get our tickets for X-men Origins booked.

Both of us were looking forward to the movie and hope to enjoy a good show. But when we saw the seats in Eng Wah Suntec Cinema 2, I almost puked. Throughout the show, I was paying more attention on whether any part of my arms, neck or uncovered skin was touching the seats or not. I laid tissue on the seats and arm rest but still my mind couldn’t help but picture those dirty cushions touching me!

I didn’t get to enjoy my movie. Pictures tell a thousand words, here’s how clean my seats were!

I’ll be posting photos, VIDEOS and updates LIVE from ad:tech Singapore today! Follow me around the exhibition hall and Keynote speeches at…

Ayah bought a bright pink tricycle for minmin today at Suntec Carefour! She was very excited about it and couldn’t wait to get her hands on it! She even attempt to bite off the handle bar!

Still need time to learn paddling it on her own, so for the time being, we’ll have to push her along.
