TOYSREVIL Pop-Up @ Katong Square (Christmas 2024 Edition)



For this blog-feature today, I share images+videos of, and my personal impressions of the TOYSREVIL Pop-Up done-n-dusted at the Katong Square Lifestyle & Vintage Market, with this Christmas Edition (Dec 20-22, 2024) being my first and last flea-vending in 2024!




Like most of my (current) scheme of happenings, I worked backwards from a dedicated "deadline", with D-Day for this flea market being Set-Up Day on Thursday (Contingency on Friday morning, before the event officially opens at 1pm). Sharing the booth/table space with any sister, we prepped and primed ourselves for my first vendoring event since 2012, when I boothed at Singapore Toy Games & Comic-Con (now known as "Singapore Comic-Con"), so there was much to be re-learnt and re-experienced from the re-noob-me!

Surffice to add, with the difference in time-period and age, I woke up post-event with massive body-aches and blistered feet! But ultimately enjoyed the experience ~ MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA




Besides flooding my INSTA STORIES (with some (dedicated hash-tagged) tweets on X) of WHAT was available and WHERE to find them, the game plan as well consisted of "Flash Sale(s)" Insta-notices for timed-limited event-discount(s).

I wondered if having Facebook would have made any difference at all in "promotions" tho ... but we'll see if my suspension ever gets resolved :p

For this recent tenure, what appealed more to folks' interests were my trading cards and even cassette tapes! Which honestly make more sense, as I was in a "Vintage Market", where I am able to share my "past addictions" (LOL), plus current evilness of toys too, so its a WIN as far as I am concerned! A sharp "Thank You Salute" to everyone willing (or unwillingly) to listen to my over-shares and stories!

Moving forward, I would have to relook how I present "designer toys", if they were to remain relevant to folks at the flea and the concept, versus following the toy-hunt from the TOYSREVIL-blog... maybe it's about "relishing the past" as much as it is about "hunting for the future", if that makes sense to you... :)



If you do not know by now, "TOYSREVIL" is not a "retailer" per se, and I am making available my own preloved personal collection(s), to folks who know of "designer toys" already, and to whom are new to my blog and the niche collectibles too, innit? But that does not stop me from offering "limited edition exclusives to TOYSREVIL" too, which is something I'll strive for, moving forward, cheers.

Be that as it may, the notion of "vintage" now appeals and connects directly with what I already do possess and hoard, so that is a splendid fit (for the time being), and I am jazzed to share more too!





Either way, I will be looking forward to retooling the TOYSREVIL POP-UP in 2025 (tentatively January 17, 18, 19) at the same Lifestyle & Vintage Market, and hopefully at the same spot (TBC).

Meanwhile, here are images and videos of STORIES uploaded on my Insta (viewable here still), with updates to collectibles availability at the TOYSREVIL POP-UP STORE (in Kallang Bahru), cheers!

With that, I'll like to offer my warmest HELLO and WELCOME TO TOYSREVIL (for new readers, friends and fellow toy-poisoned-folks made): A blessed CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS ahead!

Cheers,
Andy TOYSREVIL

And what's "TOYSREVIL" without "designer toys"? Special "event prices" to be had, including "Last Day Sales" (posted on STORIES, since removed after event ended), with prices on most items reverting to Pop-Up Stores' (it always pays to purchase them from me in-person in-store, where you can save on shipping too), as well online via toysrevil.bigcartel.com, cheers.




My weakness: I enjoy the toy-hunt as much as I enjoy vending, and I tried my best to avoid buying stuff at this flea (sorry fellow vendors), but ultimately snagged a couple of figures, as I was looking for presents for my mum! So fun to find Seulgie Lee's Satyr Rory mini figures! AAAAARRRRRRHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
