The 10th Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention (STGCC) held this year at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre has manage to outdo itself yet again. A new dedicated gaming zone called the Good Game Experience and a Star Wars Experience Zone that lets you walk into Star Wars literally, this has to be the best STGCC yet!
Small Toys and Life-size Toys
Toys. That’s the reason why you go to STGCC. Upon our entry into STGCC 2017, Thor and Hulk greeted us. We knew at that moment that this convention is going to be great. Too many toys to see, too little money to buy them all.
Ok he is not a toy but this cosplayer definitely brings War Machine to life with his larger-than-life armour.
So Iron Man has a Iron Man suit which has another Iron Man suit and … Ok this is getting complicated. This could be a variant of the Hulk Buster. The intricacy of the model is just amazing. I can stare at it for hours just admiring the level of details in this model.
Transformer, robots in disguise. Lots of Transformer toys ranging from the more contemporary ones to the retro version.
Toys that put your Street Fighter in ‘pause’ mode for eternity. Again, 3 hours gone staring at it.
Walk into Star Wars
[Cue Star Wars Opening Music] Fans of Star Wars must have been thrilled at this year STGCC. The dedicated zone to Star Wars included a plethora of things to do and see. You can take picture with life-size fan-built Rey’s Speeder, or sit down inside the Millennium Falcon and imagine you are Han Solo.
I have asked myself multi-times. How can this be fan-built? It looks exactly like the one in the movie. Lucasfilm please hire them.
Kylo Ren’s Tie Silencer was heavily by his storm trooper. Where is Kylo Ren?
He was spotted on board the Millennium Falcon. Visitors can take picture with this set too. Kylo Ren included.
And of course, we have Star Wars Models and toys. Loads and loads of them to satisfy the Star Wars fan in you.
Good Game Experience
This year, the gaming arm of STGCC has an entire dedicated hall that resembles the atmosphere of an E3 convention. On the main stage we have Esports screening while there are many games for you to try out in the other parts of the hall.
There are multiple VR gaming station for your to experience. Provider includes HTC VIVE and PlayStation VR.
The Chillax Zone provide bean bags for your to laze on while playing games. An oasis for your tire body.
Table top games are held at the special Colosseum area of the Good Game Experience Zone.
Akiba Town has a mini stage where we can all gather and release our inner Otaku through anime music.
