Season's Greetings from Outpost Productions


Season's Greetings and Happy Holidays to all our fans and followers.

We also take this opportunity to relabel our branding to Outpost Productions (from Outpost Events & Services) to better reflect our current range of services on costuming & props, marketing support, and mascot engagement. Unfortunately our online social media channels will have to remain as Outpost Toys, Events & Services for Facebook and MySciFiFanOutpost as we are unable to rename these. Plus OutpostHoloNet on Twitter.


Outpost Productions officially setup a Premium Artbooth at Comic Fiesta 2013. Malaysia's largest ACG convention over last weekend 21-22 December took over the entire KLCC Convention Centre with tens of thousands of visitors and flocks of cosplayers. It was a busy 2-days as we caught up with many long time friend and associates as well as showcase some of our stuff to the local cosplay scene. Our crew did not have much time away to explore more of Comic Fiesta, so most of our photos below are limited around our immediate booth area.

Our first visitor for the day may not have been especially good "feng shui".

Other than costuming & props, we also had a free stuff to giveaway and unveiled the outcome of our #CosplayFightClub series of online videos where viewers voted for winners of fight matchups between pop culture characters. Check out the results here:

Crowds gather for our free stuff. Toys and posters given away just by answering a few simple trivia questions.

Happy giveaway winner.

Congratulations to Zymz, winner of our Helmet prop giveway to cosplayers.

Blast off to paradise on Elysium


In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium - but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission - one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces - but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.


Elysium is directed by Neill Blomkamp of the critically acclaimed "District 9" of 2009 and starring Matt Damon as out-of-luck Max, Jodie Foster as Defense Secretary Delacourt, and Sharlto Copley as the deadly Kruger. Elysium now showing in all cinemas including IMAX.

Check-out reviews of Elysium by CinemaOnline and Entertainment Weekly, plus more of the movie production by The Star. Plus this watch this extended behind-the-scenes featurette:
