Every year, a collective bunch of geeks and casual enthusiasts head on down to the Singapore Toy, Comic & Game Convention, or STGCC for short, to be brought together by a shared love for geekdom. The 2018 edition at Marina Bay Sands saw a sizeable crowd, all rearing to immerse themselves in an excitable atmosphere and gearing up for a day of fun – cosplayers included.

Breathing life into their favourite characters were individuals decked out in full costume glory. From the usual mainstays such as Star Wars, Overwatch, and Marvel fandoms to unexpected surprises like Toy Story and God of War, it was quite the impressive sight. Staying true to the spirit of Geek Culture, one of us even channelled her inner Harry Potter in the form of a Hufflepuff wizard:

The Overwatch hype may have died down, but there was still plenty of cosplay to go around, and the community spirit was definitely strong when two groups of different cosplayers came together for a group photo (a great comp, if not lacking two tanks…)

Toy Story at a convention, who’d have thought! An all-around impressive effort, these individuals were inarguably a head-turner.

Of course, a cosplay event isn’t complete without some Star Wars, and the army of Boba Fetts sure is looking great!

Here’s to more cosplay on Day 2!
