Jakarta 6th Toys & Comics Fair

Sacca Productions held the Jakarta 6th Toys & Comics Fair from the 14-15 March 2010 at the Indoor Tennis Stadium, Senayan, Jakarta.

This is the biggest and the best by far in my opinion. It was the biggest as evidenced by the number of participants and crowd (over 10 thousand came in the span of two days), and for that i would personally like to congratulate the organizers for a job well done.

So what made this year's Toy Fair as the best? It's the return of VINTAGE, that's what! Near Mint-conditioned Vintage Star Wars (my fave), vintage Masters of The Universe, vintage GI JOE, vintage Japan Super Robots (Voltus, etc), vintage Transformers, and other vintage US iconic toys all made appearances. Every "lapak" or shop had at least some form of vintage Star Wars item on display. The prices? Well if you looked closer, don't mind hunting and digging (like i did), you'd find they were priced reasonably and affordably :)

My suggestion for the organizers: do a special vintage toy fair.

Enough said, let's get down to the pics. If you know all these toys, than all i can say is that you had a happy childhood :)

Somebody's Slave1 collection, i really like this person's consistency


Vintage US iconic toys of the 80s




New and vintage Star Wars toys available at Toyzone


PS3, Xbox and Wii should pay respect to these old timers..


Somebody's vintage GI Joe collection, i assume this is the Cobra HQ or something like that




New and vintage Transformers


Vintage Masters of The Universe


Micro Machines Milennium Falcon. Can be converted to Rebel Base complete set (no box) *i bought this, totally cool!*


..however i didn't buy this, it was such a bargain (plus free Luke Skywalker in pilot suit) and i know i'm gonna keep dreaming about it until i got it :(


Of course, no Toy Fair would be complete without the participation of urban toys.

Check out this Munny from The Other Culture. I know everyone would like to have this.


..or screw the Munny, i'd rather have all these!



Another thing that made this year's Toy Fair the best is the return of CREATIVITY! Check out what these people can do with a lot of Lego bricks and imagination.. (while others on display were also cool, i only took pics of Lego Star Wars as a particular point of my interests).














One thing i also noticed were the inclusion of dioramas, as participant's creativity goes way beyond their imagination and into their creation. Below were the mind-boggling diorama creations on display..

La piece de resistance, a Tatooine diorama (a video of the whole thing can be seen on http://www.facebook.com/donnynarendra?ref=profile#!/video/video.php?v=399440701410&ref=mf).






A rendition of A Nightmare Before Christmas that would make Tim Burton proud.





Proof that creativity knows no boundary is through the number of participants in the cosplay competition. Maybe i've seen more people and more creativity taking part in previous Toy Fairs, but it's still a very welcome entertainment for me. i mean, i'm sure these people are into having sex with costumes and such :)





I didn't go to the House of Horror, though.. sorry y'all.

Well that's it from this years Toy Fair. Overall it was totally fun, and that's all that matters for most punters such as myself. Looking forward to the Year End Toy Fair, until then i bid you so long.

Oh snap! in case everyone's wondering what i got from there, here they are:
