Why So Much Toy-Drama?

Just like the shouting match seen heard at last year's Pop Toy Show Singapore, the 2025 Edition was not spared the drama, with shouting matches between attendee & security, and apparently law enforcement involvement? So this was all the Daily Mad Dashes were for, innit? SO DRAMA for what? LOL

WARNING: *Possibly triggering aggression in video*



"Toy-News-worthy"?
Teetering between "disconcerting" and embarrassingly-"ridiculous, all these showcases the frenzy of entreprenistic-consumerism and trend-chasing, which is nothing new in Singapore actually, having bore witness to 2000's McDonald X Hello Kitty plush promotions drama leading to a Train-To-Busan-esque glass-wall breaking...! Singapore fears not "zombie outbreaks", but for frenzied toy collectors going wild, innit? LOL

(I cannot authenticate this tho)


Fingers will be pointed, no doubt, and all anyone could ever do is to prepare for all the negative and nasty scenarios, innit? I certainly hope so there would be protocols set up, no? Would RAFFLING everything ease the confusion? Or does the undeniable existence of bad actors taint the hobby/scene?
