STGCC 2012 Guests Update

Hi all, its been awhile. Was overseas for a vacation. I've brought back some new toys which I'm itching to post about. But that will have to wait for a bit as I get back into routine. I missed some exciting news while I was away. That being Reed Exhibitions has released ticketing information for this year's Singapore Toy Game and Comic Convention (STGCC) and has also revealed several guests who will be attending. You can check it out here. Three more pop culture personalities will be joining this year’s line-up. They are cosplayers Touya Hibiki and Kousaka Yun, and DJ haLRu from MONOMIND.
