From 3 PM on 17 December (Fri), the event is free to attend. Visitors can expect 11 exhibitors at SG ToyCon, who will be launching new releases and a wide ange of collectibles that will appeal to different age groups. Each of the retailers specialize in their own area of collectibles ranging from diecast toy cars, models and miniature figurines.

Check out the list of SG ToyCon retailers below:

You can purchase various vehicle scale replicas and related diorama and accessories from their booth at the fair.
MINIATURE STORIES (Heritage/ Military Miniature Figurines and Vehicles)
You might have seen some of their detailed and lovingly created heritage dioramas on display. Red Dot Diva took some time admiring a few of those at the Kinokuniya flagship store the last time she was there. They make superb backgrounds and props for photographing toys.
