Organized by PI Events (the people at Play Imaginative), the convention takes up 6,110 sq m at Suntec and features 107 exhibitors, including big names like Hasbro, Bandai and Lego. Whilst I'm familiar with the 1/6 offerings by Hot Toys featured at the Action City booth, there were a lot of pop culture to be seen.
I know a certain Calvin from Canada would be interested in these :)

One of the highlights for me - seeing Brian Bolland in person. Brian Bolland is famous for Judge Dredd, Batman (especially the critically acclaimed "Batman: The Killing Joke"), Invisibles, Tank Girl, Doom Patrol and Wonder Woman, among many others. Growing up reading the comics he drew, it's really amazing to see the man up close.
I was also able to meet some of the fellow bloggers who are on my blog list :) Up until now, I've never met them in person so it was a really nice to be able to put a face to the name.

Thanks for the link up Alex! Good to meet you in person too!
It was great to see the 1:6 guru in person!! LOL
I thought of CALVIN as soon as I saw those Mechtorians too!
Hi bro,
Sorry about being off-topic but I figured I might as well ask. :)
Recently, I ordered a 1:6 head sculpt off the internet and am looking for someone to paint it. Was wondering if you could recommend or knew anyone with nice painting skills for 1/6 figures (particularly for military figures, looking to achieve the realism look like eg. did's medic roe).
Thanks in advance Alex. Always a pleasure to visit your website. :)
hey LEon, don't mention it :)
It was nice to meet you too, Adrian - ha! ha!
yeah DASH, Calvin has made that part clear to everyone who reads his blog ;p
hi Shung, welcome. I think there are not many head sculpt painters in Singapore and those that do charge a bomb, that's why I haven't ordered any from the internet nor got any of mine repainted. I did see some repainted head sculpts in one of the shops at China Square Central. Perhaps you can try enquiring there. CHEERS!
