AFAX 2010

Went on both Saturday and Sunday and it was Sunday that gave me the goosebumps with all the nostalgic feeling.

What's with the full Sailormoon force and the 2 Power Rangers and the couple of Mario brothers running around!?!

awwwww~~~

*Super Intensive Image Warning*
(BTW, pls let me know if you would like to have any of the pics in original)


Alright lets head on with the event coverage.

Itashas

The official AFAX itasha which is a Toyota Varis under all the stickers.


Mirai Suenaga (by Danny Choo) inspired Lancer.


Gundam inspired.

Event Features

Nearing the end of the convention hall, we noticed mostly guys lining on one side, while girls queued at the other side.

どして!?

Ohh. Its the booths for the Maid Cafe and Butler Cafe that are placed side-by-side. Nahh, the queue was too long for our liking even thou we would really liked to try one (din manage to try an authentic one in Japan).


This guy looks like my bro from afar!


As per previous years, they had these boards of mahjong paper for visitors to display their creativities.
This one drew his free-hand!


While this fella did some copying..


Some stuff playing at the Sega booth and Luffy was entranced..


There's this ikemen fortune teller booth as well.

We din go for any of the concert events as that requires another tix and that its in a convention hall by itself doesnt allow us to do any peeping. There's also other stuff like the anime KTV booth, the BushiRoad competitions, etc that we weren't too interested in.

Toys & Figurines

This is more or less a life-sized Chopper! If not its also close to 1/1.5 scale!


Super posable Luffy (or something along that line), which is fixed up Gunpla styled!
Naahhh... not interested.


The Zoro-Chopper that I so much wanted to get in Japan..


All the One Piece POPs and sad (or lucky?) to say, NOT FOR SALE!
I would have grabbed the Zoro there and then..


Saber Lily

Cosplayers

As the open space on the 4th floor was occupied by some convention on Saturday, most of the cosplayers weren't actively posing around the premises and were mainly hiding in an empty hall that was opened up for them.

They came out in full force on Sunday thankfully.

And I'm enlisting the help of RR the otaku without her knowledge to identify all these cosplayers since I'm at a much lower level than her. :p (I'm simply referring to her blog..)

Trying to group them all, starting off with all the BRS-es

Phew, snap snap snap too much. Din really get a lot of loots there since there's not much to our interest (BRS got, K-On! got, nothing much else). Went over to pick up our preorders that sort of fits into the whole otaku weekend theme thou.

Here's another epic pic to end the post.

Nostalgia in Overdrive! (Not that I watched Sailormoon but this pose while they were doing their photoshoot simply blows everyone off!)
