The Sight of Sounds

I've got something to admit...

I've never been to AV fair before

I know it's not scandalous nor news worthy...

but thought I'd get that off my chest...

This is the reason for my visit to JW Marriot last weekend

It's also the reason I'm RM10 poorer...

Was it worth shelling out the moolah?

I must say for the experience yes...

Entering the first hall, 

it was obvious that it was kind of sparse

It was like going to PC Fair without the PC's

or the girls... (there were a few)

The only guys were those on the tele

There were a few doohickies that caught my attention
First there was the light saber soundspeakers

Then there was the "Dark Knight"
though it looked more Darth Vader than Batman
(not sure what's with the Star Wars symbols)

Was surprised they had DJ turntables too...

and if only I had an Apple product, then can get Airwired

first there were movies... now, computer games in 3d..
imagine the nausea playing first person shooters in 3d

if only all speakers(especially in government :p) were transparent

and look at those pretty lights...

and an unusual sights

The one most unusual thing I found was the fact

that they were using the hotel rooms 

as stalls...

to me it kinda looked dodgy

dimly lit long corridor

men going in and out of rooms

checking out the sights

one of the oddest sights is seeing the menu for their cafe...
I wondered who comes here to eat..
especially if it costs RM4 for 3 lekor!!

Guess that was the sign for me to make my exit..

not so sure about next year...
it was a good experience seeing the sights this year..
but not so sure if it is worth the entrance fee...
especially if you can't afford anything

More Toying Around

You know how sometimes you need to take a double take?

That's what it seems like for the MITF...

It's the little things that count after all

Here's my second take of MITF 2010

First of all is the Dweeys..

Didn't take note of this one b4.. 

but it has ppl and trees!

and I didn't this one served turd

and I didn't get a sharp copy of this cute monster b4

and the squirrel has a fist for a tail

and prove that can manual focus moving objects

and from star wars... 

the ewok!

and this monster doodoll storms the fair

and it definitely attracted the chicks

speaking of which I didn't manage to photograph these two flyer girls til yesterday

but most of all misssed the cosplayers

with a pretty fishy

bringing the fun and the love

not sure who this is.. but cute

well guess that's it for the toy fair 

time to pack up and go

Toy-Fair Story

*warning*

picture heavy thread

and that I am....

which is perhaps why my opinion conflicts with many of those in cyberspace

before I arrived at the Malaysian International Toys Fair,

I've heard from two separate people that they're read online

that many cyber patrons were complaining that it was disappointing

From the first moment Ultra King and I stepped into hall 2 of MVEC,

we were distracted by these cute little designs that was on display.

they even did sailor moon

My favourite was this simple one, 

because if you flip it upside down, you can see a tiger! awesome

Other than those, they had these odd monsters...

and more normal looking characters

but usually stereotypes

Eventually we moved on and found more cute toys

these were found at a stall called painkillahart
at the link above, they have some designs that can be printed and folded...
for free!

another such place was salt+paper
they have cute ones like this bird

and even started expanding into other mediums
like wood and resin

Other popular ones is the doodolls..

Even the saleslady is cute... :)

Of course they have more traditional dolls

tho it was a little creepy

and also cute soft toys

as well as modern toys

but for the mature like me...
you'd remember these classics...
(these are actual collectibles)

and my favourite robots in disguise

and for those into anime...
macross figurines..

I cannot recognise them as they look nothing like Robotech

even the robots are different already

These toys are on sale, though a little expensive

but that's probably cuz it's all individually hand painted

Other than toys... they have hand drawn art

even by the famous Gempak group

and for some reason fishing?

and computer games...

(which can make you short sighted!?)

and some cosplay

but I pity the fool

who came looking for chickies

and there will of course be many

and not to say there aren't any...
but not many...
but the few are quite attractive

and cute

and willing to pose for you

but if you're interested in the toys I must say
in my opinion it is worth the RM3 entrance fee

Well that's the end for now

May go again today....

especially since they having a wedding fashion show next door..
