STGCC 2012 @ Sands Expo and Convention Centre



This year, I attended the Singapore Toy, Game & Comic Convention (STGCC). This annual event was held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre in Marina Bay Sands on the 1-2 September 2012.


The STGCC is a pre-eminent event in Asian market that combines the best pop culture from East and West to Asia, and unites the world of comics, amine, toys, collectibles and games. There were LIVE Sketching and autographs with Internationally-renowned Artists, Comics Illustrators, Writers and Toy Designers.


I was greeted by 'Gundam', the moment I stepped in the premises... He looked magnificent.


I was impressed by the Avengers figurines display and was pleasantly surprised!!


The figures were very realistic and the craftsmanship was pretty skilful and they look detailed.




This was definitely another highpoint at this year's STGCC, Dark Knight for DC Comics and the entire comic heroes.


Below were some of my favorite new releases at the exhibition...


~ Hand Painting Tee by Pocotee ~


This is the artist, in the flesh and she was there to do free-hand drawing/painting with any purchases from the booth.


Being the first 50 fans to arrive at the booth (Pocotee & Friends), I was given 2 postcards and a sticker.


~ Wendy Chew, Local Chibi (Short & Cute) Art Illustrator ~

Wendy Chew is well-known for her cutesy art styles, and she has attended many events such as Seattle’s Emerald City Comic Convention and Malaysia Games and Comics Convention to showcase her work.  Her sketch book was launched exclusively at STGCC 2012.
 

~ BONJAPAN – Rilakkuma and Sentimental Circus ~


~ Play Imaginative - Spongebob Squarepants Mini Figure World ~


I love the wacky figure, Spongebob Squarepants and I was attracted to Bedtime Spongebob.


Nanoblock X Sanrio - My favorite Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, Pom Pom Purin, My Melody, Little Twin Stars and Charming Kitty have been immortalized as a Nanoblock.

Nanoblock X Universal Studio Japan - Classic Sesame Street characters such as Big Bird, Elmo and Cookie Monster are Nanoblock favorites and they are exclusively available at Universal Studio Japan.


 This year, we got to see over 100 exclusive collectibles and new products launch as they were released at the STGCC 2012. It was definitely a rare opportunity to get our collections personally autographed by the creators or designers. This yearly convention has never failed to bring the latest information on toys, games, comics, anime, manga and cosplay to their avid fans across the Southeast Asia.

Korea's No. 1 beauty brand, KUNDAL shower/hair products are now available in Singapore, and I am honored to try out their full series of shampoo, treatment, body wash and hair serum which includes a special gift from them - Bath Bombs! KUNDAL o ffers natural hair/bodycare products that have the perfect blend of plant extracts. Their products are comfortably referred to as green products due to their biodegradable and non-toxic components. What I love about the  KUNDAL HONEY & MACADAMIA  range is  that they use honey and macadamia extracts as their main ingredients. They are also infused with a specific scent - such as Pink Grapefruit, White Musk or Cherry Blossom, or the most popular floral scent, Baby Powder. The scent still lingering in the bathroom for hours and it smells pleasant as well as not being over-powering. I love how my hair feels smooth after using each of the products. I tried the White Musk shampoo and Cherry Blossom treatment, and I was

Thanks for introducing COCOnCO from Korea which has helped me to achieve pleasant results from my beauty regime.   COCOnCO First Essence Toner  is a fermented facial essence, and it soothes wrinkles, tones, moisturizes and nourishes the skin, enhances blood circulation and metabolic processes at the cellular level, evens out complexion, brightens the skin, reduces the secretion of sebaceous glands and fights rashes. If you have pale, tired skin with sagging and fine lines, these can be miraculously transformed with regular use of the essence!

The common scalp problems can cause a lot of irritation, but also hair loss. I was in complete shock at the state of my nightmarish infected scalp! One must make a huge effort to take good care of your scalp. Hence here I am at Jonsson Protein for their signature VE Protein Hair Treatment.

She also explained that my scalp was pretty oily, and my scal
