TOY CARNIVAL @ SAM

Went to the Toy Carnival @ SAM on the 5th July Sunday and here are some of the pictures that I have taken there:
Cosplayer ouside 1st storey glass hall


Action city booth outside 1st storey glass hall
Soldier statue displayed at a booth just outside 1st storey glass hall (which I am actually not interested in at all)
Rapid Culture booth at entry of 1st storey glass hall
Booth opposite Rapid Culture selling less popular figmas at $25 dollar each! (Was tempted to buy the Tsuruya-san figurine but did not stoop to temptation eventually)
Booth beside Rapid Culuture selling miniature figure collections
Lots of cosplayers blocking view of more interesting booths beside and behind them in 1st storey glass hall...
More cosplayers...
and more cosplayers (actually the same guy in the previous picture)
And more cosplayers trying to gain the attentions of innocent children
2nd Storey exhibition hall
Another booth in 2nd Storey exhibition hall selling less popular or fail-to-sell-out figmas at $25 dolla each and Kaiyodo Fraulein figures at $30 for 2!
Unknown booth in 2nd Storey exhibition hall
Another unknown booth in 2nd Storey exhibition hall. Can see that transformer is becoming quite popular. Almost every booth has transformer merchandise.
[Reflection]
Well, I can only say that this toy carnival has help to boost people's knowledge of the existence of the Singapore Art Museum in Singapore. To start with, it is unusual for art museum to actually hold such carnival selling toys. This toy carnival makes me realise that there are a lot of other stores selling anime figurines and merchandise out there in Singapore. KKNM, which is said to be the founder of anime merchadise sales was absent at the carnival.
