MAGe Festa 2008
MAGe Festa 2008 was held at Nilai International University College on 26, January 2008. It was the first event we attended for this year and the third event where we display our figures collection. The roster have change a bit this time, there’s me, e-jump, LilKev84, exiled_gundam, aiko-jin and Fat Cat Lim. We over 60 figures on display, some are the same as the ones we displayed during Comic Fiesta and we also have some new ones as well.
Another addition is we have our own booth promoter this time around, thanks to aiko-chan for so willingly helping us ^^, below is a photo of her with our figures booth in the background XD.
Didn’t take a lot of figures photos this time around, concentrate more on cosplayers instead. I forgot to mention that we have a figure photo booth this time, same setting as the one I use for my own indoor figures shoot.
More cosplayers photos this time. There wasn’t much variety, not as much as Comic Fiesta anyway, but this also give us more space to take photos and doesn’t get too crowded.
One of my favourite shot, since there wasn’t that much people at the hall, I get to take my time composing this shot 
.
Another one that I like.
The figures booth gang ^^.
The event itself is ok, though I feel the PA is too damn loud, and since our booth was right at the front, we can’t hear each other. The hall itself is quite spacious, but it’s also because there wasn’t a lot of visitors to the event, probably due to the out of the way location. The committee did a good job by providing food for the cosplayers and visitor, though the college does have a canteen, at least there’s more choice. I am not sure of the price coz I have my own bento (thanks aiko).
Overall not too bad, and I had a chance to take a whole lot of photos this time around, actually I wasn’t even around the booth much, (sorry guys).

Sounds like you had a good time. I’m thinking of doing a figure booth myself and gathering other figure collectors as well to show it off.
I thought I’ve lost all hope in humanity with cosplayers, but when I saw the fully-loaded military dude (who’s he suppose to be from, F.E.A.R?), my faith is restored.
Although I’m not a fan of cosplay I have to admit that the soldier guy is damn good O.o.
Commando guy was the best cosplayer IMO. That L.A.W. he is holding was hand made. Funny thing though, he told me that everyone said it was a bazooka.=_=”
and i agree with you valho, the music was too loud.I couldn’t hear myself think at times.
DESU looks sad ;__;
