Singapore Toy and Comic Convention 2008 - Day Zero

We've been looking forward to the Singapore Toy and Comic Convention 2008 since we heard about it a couple of months back. Today, we're happy to be invited to the preview of this event which should have held here years ago. Rather late then never, we joined the guys from My Tummy Toys to the convention at Suntec.

At the Suntec hall, it's like a mega playground for "big kids". So many great artists and their awesome artworks and figurines exhibiting at the booths.

We stopped by our customers' Nada and Kika (Switzerland) booth to show our support. They were shopping at our store yesterday. Coincidentally, they knew Marin and Helmy from My Tummy Toys too. Small world.



So disappointed that Joseph Wong Chak of Master Q (better known as Lao Fu Zi) was not able to appear at the convention. He is truly a pioneer in Asia's comic scene.



In the night, we were at the Butter Factory to witness some live illustration session from Simone Tokidoki, Pete Fowler, Touma, Mori Chack and Devil Robots' artist.
