Comic Fiesta 2012 Review

Hey all,

now is time for my annual review of Comic Fiesta. I have to admit,there is nothing much i can say about it this year as this year,everything ran quite smoothly and i was satisfied but as usual,i will do my pros and cons lists.

me & Freddie Mercury cosplayer

me & Dato Jimmy Choo, Danny Choo's father

From L-R, Ironman cosplayer, Dato Jimmy Choo, Danny Choo & Captain America

Me with Naked Sim

Me with awesome Domokun!!!

Pros

Nice hall lighting, ample space to walk,super awesome amount of doujin booths and prices for items were much cheaper compared to last year's Comic Fiesta or even this year's AFA MY. The air con was good for cooling people and enough place for people to rest at the sides if they get tired.The line up system was much better as well this year.


super adorable Neko Tenshi


awesome Ironman


awesome artwork i got


i met Danny Choo

me & The Flash


awesome Nyan Cat cookie


awesome Totoro cookie


me and awesome clown plus balloonist Mac Roy Roy

Mac Roy Roy made me a flower bracelet


super amazing Danboard cosplay

Cons
I did notice a significant drop in awesome cosplays,before anybody stones me for saying this,i have to admit that most cosplays seem similar and have come to a point that i say 'oh,seen that before' but i do admit the Danboard and Domokun cosplayer plus the Kirito cosplayer with awesome sword and the Freddie Mercury cosplay really caught my eye.

Another con is the lack of schedules or any information in physical form for media people. Me & WH did not get a press kit or even a Comic Fiesta booklet when we got our passes. No one seems to know if we were supposed to even get a press kit or not and i had to borrow the booklet from one of our friends to see the schedule or rely on my email to see schedules for press conference etc.

I notice the sound system this year seemed to have dropped or maybe because its a bigger venue this year hence the drop in the sound system.


me with super cute Rilakuma

All in all, As i said, CF was much better this year that i have nothing much to complain so yeah,until next year's Comic Fiesta,this is my post and happy new year to everyone :)

Comic Fiesta 2012 Secret Santa

For Comic Fiesta 2012 this year,we are doing something real special which is secret santa! In the spirit of Christmas, Comic Fiesta has decided to organize a lil secret santa treat.






This activity is a three parter, and is open to anyone that attends the event. This means EVERYONE - be you a booth owner, vendor, sponsor, casual attendee, or die-hard member of the ACG community - can take part.

Part 1 - THE SECRET STASH- A "present pool" will be made open throughout the day for everyone to chip in. Submit your presents at the CF Information Counter!

Part 2 - LETTERS TO SANTA- Throughout the day, our "Santarinas/Santarinos" will be at the Information Counter and the CF Coffytiam to collect your letters!

Part 3 - THE CF STAGE SANTAS- Our Stage Santa will then pair up your wishes with presents in the Secret Stash and give the lucky wish-makers a chance to win these prizes through simple stage games!

To know more about this activity in detail, the rules and regulations are available below! We look forward to seeing you at Comic Fiesta 2012!

 RULES AND REGULATIONS

THE SECRET STASH

1. Submission to the "present pool" (hereby referred to as "the pool") is entirely optional. There is NO obligation.

2. Anyone can contribute to the pool. This includes (but not limited to) vendors, sponsors, doujin-kas, event attendees or even random generous passersby.
3. Submissions to the pool will be grouped and labeled according to their contributors (henceforth referred to as “Secret Santas") to be announced during and/or after the aforementioned stage games. However, the identities of Secret Santas can be made anonymous upon request.
4. There is no upper or lower limit to the contributions any Secret Santa can make, however Comic Fiesta reserves the right to turn down any contributions to the pool that we may deem inappropriate.
5. Due to limitation of slots, a contribution to the pool will not guarantee stage time. However, Comic Fiesta will ensure that ALL contributions to the pool will be given out our attendee(s) by the end of the event.

 

 LETTERS TO SANTA

1. Small slips of papers marked with the official Comic Fiesta chop will be provided when you request them at the CF Information Counter or the CF Coffytiam.

2. Attendees are required to fill up their letters with their names and a wish of their liking, and insert it into the jolly red socks carried by our Santarina/Santarinos at the Info Counter or Coffytiam.
3. Kindly make sure that all your Letters are filled in clearly and are inserted properly into a jolly red sock. Letters not filled in properly and/or put into a jolly red sock will not be considered.
4. Letters to Santa are exchangeable, and multiple entries from one person are acceptable. So asking your friend for his/hers is perfectly fine. (Just don’t steal~ >D)
5. Replies to Letters are subjected to the availability of prizes within the pool. Comic Fiesta will do its best to match up the prizes to the Letters submitted but cannot, and will not, guarantee recipients will get EXACTLY what they want.
6. Like any mail to Santa, Letters put into jolly red socks do not guarantee a response. Eager attendees are encouraged to increase their chances by making their Letters as specific and/or as interesting as possible to catch the eyes of our CF Stage Santas.

 

 CF STAGE SANTAS

1. Throughout the day, our CF Stage Santas will call up lucky wish-makers who have inserted their Letters into our jolly red socks up on stage for a simple stage game. These games will (generally) involve the lucky wish-makers interacting with their Secret Santas.

2. Should a wish-makers not respond when called (for whatever the reason), the chance will then be made open to the public. Remember! Santa doesn’t like a whiner, and our CF Secret Santas aren’t that different.
3. Presents given are not exchangeable.

 

 

So try your luck and hope you get something good :) i know what i want :)
