For the portfolio session that you guys will be familiar since Comic Fiesta 2008, we have Phil Ortiz & Phil Yeh coming all the way from the US of A! While i don’t have much info at all for both guys (lol), I’ve been informed that Phil Ortiz has won 5 Emmy and he is one of the guys who helped in the animation of The Simpson’s.
We also have KKNM coming from Singapore as well as Little Akiba, and for the first time ever, The Figure Mall (TFM) will be organizing a Figurine Marketplace! If you’re looking for rare, out-of-production figurines, you might just find someone selling them at the TFM booth. I will also be contributing some of my collection for the display just like previous Comic Fiesta; Although not as much as previous years since our lagging sprout haven’t even pass me a confirmation list for figures to be displayed as i am writing this post LOL!
