Weekend Shootout - The Doll Affair 2007 Pt 2

With the function room at the YMCA proving to be way too small for the crowd, the Doll Affair extended to the outside where the tables at the Y Cafe were transformed into exhibition showcases for collectors to pose and display their dolls...

Weekend Shootout - The Doll Affair 2007 Pt 1

As an avid collector of 12-inch action figures, I was definitely curious to check out Singapore's first ball jointed doll event. Aptly titled "The Doll Affair", the showcase was held in a function room at YMCA Orchard Road with vendors such as Amethyst Collezione, Black Angel, Domuya, Hallucinog3nic Studios, Kstarr X Angel.Candy-Rock, simply J, Stardoll, tangled web, Valse du Cie, VeryBerry, S:thete x Secret Letters, and Black Rose to name a few. Response to the event was overwhelming with tickets selling out before starting time and the organisers had to resort to crowd control as the function was packed to the max with visitors and customers alike.

The irony was that my friend who alerted me about this event was more of a dollfie than me but couldn't get in as they ran out of tickets by the time he arrived, thus leaving me to risk 02 deprivation by myself upon entering the realm of BJDs...

Hmm... Are dolls a mirror reflection or alter ego of their owners?

After snapping away for over an hour it was time to leave the crowd and chaos in the function room and head outside to see what was happening...

Apart from the main cosplay showcase, the anime at expo EOY also had a preview of "The Doll Affair", the first ball-jointed doll event held in Singapore at YMCA on 29 December 2007. The place had several table displays along with some vendors to promote the event...
