STGCC2014: Where Geeks and Fans Unite!

By InCinemas / 09 Sep 2014 (Tuesday)

The annual Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convention 2014 ended last Sunday where fans of popular comics, movies and novels got together to embrace their inner ‘geekness’ (myself included)!

I’m no ‘geek’, nor do I know my comics well. As a passionate moviegoer, I do have some knowledge on comics, especially superhero-themed ones, since most have made it to the silver screen. And for one thing, you don’t have to be a self-proclaimed geek to enjoy STGCC, for there’s bound to be something that interest you.

It’s easy to fall in love with the superhero toy figurines, and the endless creations of Funko POP! toys that makes will make Jack, the dull boy squeal with excitement. But what really stole the show were the cosplayers, parading round the event area: from Batman to Groot, Chucky to Doraemon, they definitely add the ‘razzle-dazzle’ to the Singapore’s version of the famous ‘comic-con’!

Well-known Asian pop culture artistes like Kakkoi cosplayer Lenneth XVII, a Singaporean who is now active in the United States of America and Aliga, a widely popular and famously known in Southeast Asia for her kawaii cosplays, were present at the 2-day extravaganza!
