The 501st Legion Singapore Garrison is proud to be involved again in this year’s Singapore Toy, Games and Comic Convention come August. A press conference was held on the 23rd April in which a small deployment of troopers were sent, in Vader’s absence, to represent the Empire.

14. This trooper made a grave mistake by asking the Japanese schoolgirl (Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill Vol. 1) what she’s going to use that meteor hammer for.

16. She’s a nice girl actually.

20. This ojou-chan is so cute. She doesn’t even know how to hold a rifle. ^^;
Guess which one is yours truly?
21. The press conference venue is near the Merlion Park. The Merlion in the background is a well known local tourism icon.

Just curious,
does ur ‘TK8316′ got air-conditioning system in the suit or not?
If no, how u endure wearing it in the outdoor esp. the hot weather now???
the fun of trooping and droid hunting make TK8316 forgets about the heat. ^^;
Which leads me to another question: how do you ‘release bodily fluids’ while still in costume? ^^;
BTW nice coverage Gordon! Hope to catch u guys at the STGCC. Are you planning on going for other cosplay/game events this yr as well?
we usually sweat it out.
yup i’m definitely keen on going for cosplay and gaming events. in fact there’s one gaming event mid may which i’ll be attending.
Looks great!
Eh? No more scorch marks on the Merlion? ^^
OOOH Look at all those storm troopers!
And the Ironman guy is so cool! I wanna see it.
I was wondering, how did you manage to ‘tahan’ the suit when the temperature can go up to 35. Kudos to you and your fellow partners.
that’s nothing. our biker scout in the pic wears 3 layers of clothing. O_O
school girls next time i will go.
sorry about it bro. u are supposed to be there. well unexpected circumstances. gomen.
And who said the bad guys never gets the girl.
Err… Is that girl in red in picture #19 giving the finger? 0.o
nope, but she looks shy ^^
LOL!

Hopefully i get to come down for the convention this year.. stupid NS..
PS: Thanks for the fig.. hehex

Are one of the troopers you in the newspaper?
I reckon the ironman was the standout based on colour. =D

I see trooping lets you go near and take pictures with girls ^^;
/adds trooping to memo

Any idea when the event will happen, and will you be in it? I want to meet up with you and say hi or something
