My Little Visit to the AFA

I went to the AFA last Saturday. I really wasn't sure what to look out for but such events are always fun and this was probably one of the first major anime events in Singapore. The one thing I noticed was that it was not ridiculously overcrowded thanks to the admission fee. haha.

I went straight to Suntec after work to meet up with Akira & Max for lunch. After that, I had to go to Raffles Place to settle something before before going back to Suntec again. By then, it was already evening so I just did some quick browsing so as not to keep the two them waiting.

I caught a glimpse of the Singapore Arcade Showdown competition going on and had fun checking out the various figures/model kit booths. I managed to find some Halo 3 figures on sale! I absolute love the character known as The Arbiter but they only sold him as part of a full set for $150++. Such a pity. I still wanted to take something home, though so I bought a little Combat Elite figure.



Before I left, I passed by the FunZSquare booth and bought Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe (Xbox 360) to satisfy the comic book fan in me.

It was quite a fruitful trip. And yes, and I do realize that it is very strange for me to be picking up Western merchandise at a Japanese anime convention. haha. Actually, the other thing I wanted to take home too was the Capcom Maniax Felicia figure but I think it is a bit too daring for my room. haha.
