TOYSREVIL Instagrammed @ #AFASG16 (Day One) #toysrevilafasg16

Managed to brave the Friday Opening Day crowds this Friday morning to peruse the 2016 Edition of Anime Festival Asia 2016 (Nov 25-27), held at Suntec City Convention Centre, on both 3rd and 4th floors!

Before we peer deeper into the ins-and-outs of this 3-day event, here’s a quick recap of my Instagrammed snaps (#toysrevilafasg16), for your blog-viewing pleasures!

*Commentary in image captions, thanks :)

#afasg16 had incorporated the 3rd floor at Suntec - where "traditionally" cosplayers congregate for photo-taking for many years before - now featuring large scaled figures for photo ops ... Lookin utterly empty at 11am on Friday tho... :p #toysrevilafasg16
