The Singapore Cosplay Club would like cosplay in Singapore to be all-inclusive. This is why the club will be introducing the team from the Military and Police cosplay community to everyone at Cosfest.

Like the Singapore Cosplay Club, they put an amazing amount of effort into making their costumes as accurate and as high quality as possible. Let us all commend them for their efforts.

Watch for their segment at 3.30pm on 14 May 2017. They have prepared their materials with a lot of hearts.

This time round, many MilSim groups in Singapore are coming together to tell us more about how we can carry our props safely and have it concealed nicely in public on the 14 May 2017. Do read these cosplay guidelines we crafted together with the Singapore Police if you haven’t done so. 

In addition, Warner Bro. Entertainment Inc will be bringing something fun that comes installed with the Wonder Woman Movie Wall.

Do come to experience it! See you there at Cosfest XVI: HOPE!
