STGCC 2013: Day 1 Quick Images

Man I'm beat! Had a great time on Day 1 of STGCC. This looks to be the best STGCC ever! Don't believe me? Here's some quick images.

Marvel has a large presence at this year's event so I'll start there.

As the host says, Marvel is the most happening booth at STGCC. Freebies are given out every hour! There's badges and posters. Answer simple questions and you can get shirts and tickets for sneak peaks!

You can catch Marvel talent like David Mack and Joe MAD at the booth too!

There was a Marvel Cosplay Parade today as well. There won't be one on Day 2 unfortunately.

Next up is the Hot Toys booth which is always a crowd puller.

The displays are bigger and better.

There's lots and lots of figures.

Including the just revealed Zod from Man of Steel!

Then there's the life-size replica of the Hall of Armor. Awesome!

Not to be outdone, Play Imaginative has over 100 Super Alloy figures on display.

And you can catch Adi Granov at their booth too!

Meet the guests cosplayers! I missed Aza... hopefully I can catch her tomorrow. I did catch Vampy. She was cosplaying Jun from Gatchaman! I remember watching that.

Some images from the event hall. Lots of things going.

That's all for now. I need to get some rest for day 2! Thanks for viewing!

STGCC 2013: Media Preview

The star packed media preview for STGCC was held today, 29 August 2013. I got the chance to meet some of the guests and also view the various exclusives.

The host for the media preview was Elliot Danker. He'll also be the host for STGCC. You may not recognise him but you may have heard him on the radio before. He gave us a quick overview of the guests and exclusives at STGCC.

Hideo Baba, Luke Chueh, J*Ryu, Angry Woebots, Aza, Vampy Bit Me, Joe Madureira and C.B Cebulski were at the media preview and they talked a little about themselves and what we can expect at the event.

Hideo Baba, General Producer for the Tales of series, brought Tipo (a character from Tales of Xillia) with him. He spoke about the Tales of Xillia. This is his first visit to Singapore and he's excited to meet the fans here.

He was joined on stage by Aza (cosplayer from Korea). She was cosplaying as Milla Maxwell, a character from the Tales of Xillia. She spoke of how she started playing Tales of Xillia and what got her started in cosplay. She'll be in more costumes over the weekend, including Kuroneko (Oreimo).

J*Ryu, Angry Woebots and Luke Chueh (designers) spoke about their work and life. They created the Army of Monkeys (See, Hear Speak, No Evil) specially for STGCC. Each piece is reflective of each of them. You can check it out at their booth.

Angry Woebots also gave us a quick painting demonstration.

Joe Madureira, C.B Cebulski and Vampy Bit Me took the stage next. Vampy, dressed in a stunning costume of Psylocke, spoke of how she got into cosplay and announced that she had a new costume which will be revealed at STGCC.

Joe Madureira spoke of his various works. He also said that he would love to conclude the Battlechasers and promised to do something about it in the future. C.B Cebulski spoke of spreading the Marvel magic and his search for new talent, and also about food. You can catch them at the Marvel booth, Walk of Fame and at the various Marvel panels at the main stage.
