#CF2013

And so #CF2013 ended last weekend. Thank you to the committee of Comic Fiesta for offering me the official blogger pass again this year. This year marks the 5th year that I have been to CF and the 4th year that I have been an official blogger.

CF as usual was filled with cosplayers and booths to the brim!!! This year, I heard that the number of visitors was over 9000!!! (lame dragonball joke) and it became over 30,000 visitors! I am surprised that the venue did not collapse from the sheer number of people going through it.

I enjoyed myself those two days however due to the fact that I wasn't feeling too well, I spent most of my time resting in the Pokemon XY tournament room while WH collected streetpass on his Nintendo 3DS.

As usual, I will list down the pros and cons of the events.

Pros

• Super love the new ticketing area this year!!! Very well organized and super duper cold and cooling.
• Love the fact that food and drinks were available in the ticketing area and in the halls so that people no need to keep going out to get hydrated or fill themselves up when they feel peckish.
• Love how the booths were organized this year. Get to explore more things and kept discovering new stuff.
• Love that MDEC sponsored some booths this year. Discovered a great game development company called Wigu Games and played their upcoming game, "Doctor Life" which was super duper fun!!!
• Super love that volunteers are always so polite and courteous at doing their job and try to help you out the best they can.
• Love how the event planning was organized so the stage always seemed busy and happening.

Cons

• I do not know if it was just me but on day 1,i felt the ventilation in the ticketing area and the halls was pretty bad that i became quite dizzy and had to rest after lunch in the pokemon room.
• Volunteers tried their best to help but it seems like there was no sync in information communication sometimes. Encountered problems trying to get my pass.
• Booths were organized nicely but a bit too close to each other that it is a little hard to walk sometimes.

Those are a few of my comments. Comment below if you have any others.

Now on to the photos!!!!

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 2011 Day 2

Hey everyone,

The first thing that greeted me when i arrived at Comic Fiesta 2011 day 2 was people carrying a huge My Little Pony which is called Fluttershy made by a member of Malaysian Bronies Society whose nickname is Mamat Terer as informed by my friend,Daniel who dressed up as Surprise who is part of the Malaysian Bronies Society later.

 


That's one huge My Little Pony

Day 2 was slightly more relaxed than day one without the tensions of the lockdown.Crowd control was so much better and to keep traffic moving in the main hall,the committee decided to utilize the extra hall by using it as a space for cosplayers to have their pictures taken there so that the main hall does not get held up in traffic by cosplayers posing for photographers.


Considerably less people lining up compared to day 1

Pictures below are some of the plushies,dollies and figurines doujin booth owners displayed at their booth






















Much later,i got a close up glimpse of Fluttershy and she really is a beauty and i just heard that the maker of her is now accepting orders to make her :D yay :D






I also got some pictures of the Bronies :D








One of the drawings made by one of the Bronies,It's so awesome :D

As usual the crowds were crazy and the pictures below are just part of the main hall crowd








What is Comic Fiesta without a little bit of cosplay competion :P








Since day 2 was more relaxed,i got to take more pictures of cosplayers :D










Hey there,lovely :D


May the force be with you








Hello there Coffy :D


Hi there Tea :D

There was a sidequest during Comic Fiesta and the winner gets a lifetime pass to Comic Fiesta!!! Comic Fiesta 4 lyfe!!! (spoof of Wong Fu 4 lfye) and WH joined it hence he had to do some embarassing stuff to get cards.The more cards you get,the more chances you have to win.







However as they all say,there can only be one winner and the winner is the guy below


He's such a die hard fan!!! He even wore the older Comic Fiesta t-shirt


The winner with his buddies who helped him out

Have you ever wondered how the Comic Fiesta president looks like? I have wondered myself and i've covered Comic Fiesta since 2009 but have never met him.He's like a rare pokemon as WH would say but finally i met him.Here is Nerv,the president of Comic Fiesta


The ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 finals tournament happened just before i left so i stayed on and recorded it.Here for your viewing pleasure,i present to you Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 finals tournament at Comic Fiesta 2011
