Random Figurine Pics from AFA 2011

I somehow feel that all the posts on AFA 2011 had been dragging on and I had somehow lost the motivation to continue blogging on the event. Maybe it's also because I have some other posts on waiting list which I'm more keen to show you guys. Anyway, I hate to sweep these pics under the carpet so I decided on this post to show you photos in summary what I had taken at random @ AFA 2011.  

Vocaloid Diva Hatsune Mike @ AFA 2011

The fame of Hatsune Miku is truly unstoppable to an extend that she's practically at every corner of AFA 2011. This Vocaloid is bigger than just a game character now, she has arisen to a virtual idol who is able to even hold live concerts. This phenomenon reminds me of 'Sharon Apple' in Macross Plus whereby virtual idol overshadowed real performers. It's amazing to see how Japanese culture had influenced us and brought us another step closer to realizing that foresight in anime. I'm not a fan of Haysune Miku yet (Not for now...Not sure in the future) besides listening to her catchy songs. Indeed a well-designed and marketed character that's definitely an eye candy at any anime events.

Gundam Robot Tamashii Touch And Photo @ AFA 2011

This station may just occupied a small section @ AFA 2011 within Bandai exhibition area, but it was definitely engaging and one that had stalled a lot of my time. It gave visitors the chance to have a feel of Gundam 'The Robot Spirits' in action. The backdrops, figures and lamps had provided a conducive environment for photo enthusiasts to strike poses of Gundam and make their very own special photo. You can also take photo of your own Robot Tamashii figures, any time, any where, upload and share your photo on Tamashii Nation South Asia Facebook’s page! Have fun posing the figures, up to your own imagination.

Danny Choo / Mirai Suenaga @ AFA 2011

I must confessed that I haven't been following Danny Choo's blog these days but I have shared my admiration and respected the celebrity blogger for promoting anime, culture and trends in Japan, reaching out to people outside Japan during the era when anime/manga/cosplay were very much unheard-of in South East Asia, the stone-age before there is even AFA in Singapore. It's really an achievement for a blogger have come this far to create a mascot 'Mirai Suenaga' that appeals to many and eventually gotten marketed as Figma figurines, collector cards, computer keyboard cover, IPad application to car artwork. What's more, Danny Choo himself was present @ AFA 2011 to grace the event and penning his signature for fans.
