Ready Player One Inspired Pics

Click image to enlarge

I was a winner in a contest to catch an early screening of "Ready Player One" recently. (Thanks Geek Culture and Warner Bros. Singapore !) The show was awesome! It had plenty of action and was lots of fun. Things get set up very quickly and we are introduced to the VR world that is The Oasis. I'm sure you're aware that there are lots and lots of pop culture characters and references in it. One screening is not enough to catch them all. I'm not going to spoil anything. I'll just say I loved the sequences with DeLorean, Iron Giant and the RX-78-2. Really cool! I love the soundtrack too. There are several familiar tunes. I just wish that certain characters, both human and avatars were used more. I also didn't like the shaky camerawork in some instances and how some things are so convenient.

I was buzzing after the show. So much so I decided to dig out some figures for a shot. The above was randomly put together. Please excuse the scale. I deliberately did not use much Marvel and Star Wars as I cover quite a lot of those already. Besides I was already struggling for space and background paper.

Last post for the year. I thought I'll put up someone chirpy. Here's a look at the figma Overwatch Tracer.

C3 AFA Singapore 2017

C3 AFA Singapore 2017 is underway! I dropped by the event and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Quite a number of the booths were eye-catching and they really add to the experience. I had fun trying several games, performing simple tasks and collecting freebies, and checking out the various anime displays and toys.

Sorry for the wait. Having an extra day of AFA this year adds another couple of hundred pics to sort through you know. Lol. Let's get to it.  

AFA13 Day 1 Quick Images

AFA13 has begun! Here's some quick images from the first day. 

figma To Aru Kagaku no Railgun Shirai Kuroko

You can't have one without the other. So here's figma Shirai Kuroko to join her "Onee-sama".

figma To Aru Majutsu no Index Misaka Mikoto

 

First a quick note. Anime Matsuri is now on till 2 June 2013 at Funan Digitalife Mall main atrium level 1. I'll most likely be going during the weekend as that's when the more popular events and activities take place.

 

Right, here's a look at the figma To Aru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index) Misaka Mikoto. The character first appeared in that series and has since been starring in her own titled To Aru Kagaku no Railgun (A Certain Scientific Railgun). Index and Railgun are two of my favourite series.

Anime Festival Asia 2012 (AFA12) Part 1

Custom Figma Louise

While I like the Nendoroid figure, what I really wanted was a Figma. So here's my custom Figma Louise.
