Game and toy lovers across Singapore may recognise these store names: Simply Toys, Otaku House, and Toy or Game/Comic Connection. In a recent visit to Dhoby Ghaut's Plaza Singapura, I began wondering: "How did these stores start up and how did they get to where they are today?" So I decided to take a short dive into some of our local toy stores to see if I could find more info on their humble beginnings and journey.
For my birthday this year, I had a stream dedicated to unboxing some toys and card packs! One of the items I got from Pokemon Center Singapore was a little Slowpoke cup littered with mysterious ornations... Joined by some friends, we discover what lies beneath the curious decor.
Miku Collectible Card Unboxing (Kayou) - 18th July 2024 , 22nd August 2024
I *may* have spent more than intended in Japan for our honeymoon. But to be fair, many of the items I got would have been a lot more expensive in Singapore! And I treasure all the trinkets I got, even those from the Gacha machines!
January 2024 - Big Birthday Cosplay Unboxing (21st Jan 2024)
I lost count how many streams I spent at my parent's house trying to finish a Robotime Rolife Miniature Cat House (They've since removed it from their site, I can't find the product except for on 3rd party websites). In 2023, I had a series called 'The Backlogs' where it was a time on Thursdays for our community to catch up on things we've been leaving asunder. From the outside it looks like a cute little DIY Kit, but it is a world of pain and fine work that takes incredibly patience and precision. I have a newly acquired respect for anyone who attempts (and does well) this sort of DIY kit. I've also gotten a wee bit of aversion towards them now. Practice makes perfect, but I would rather spend my time on other things.
In 2023, I found a nice deal for some remaining Spy x Family Kuji merchandise at a local store! At the time, I had some Spy x Family Stickers that weren't moving too, so I thought:
Master list of 2023 Unboxing streams and photos from them!
Fixed on stream on 19th February 2023, my first Bandai Model Collection piece - Alcremie! This was one of the first Throne gifts I had ever received, and it was a pleasure to fix on stream! She is soooo cute!
My then-boyfriend (now husband), Chewy, was super excited to open his first OP-03 booster boxes, so he came by the stream to chat and unbox them!
