A major party to grace the show floor is key sponsor integrated future culture platform Mighty Jaxx, who are releasing a limited run of 500 NFT (non-fungible tokens) / digital tickets called the SGCC XPass. Available as an exclusive in-app brand product, they will retail at US$109 each and offer the following perks:

Those who miss out on the digital tickets can redeem one free SGCC XPass fragment that lands visitors a chance to secure their place on the whitelists for selected future launches of Mighty Jaxx’s digital collectibles, and stand a chance to win one of Mighty Jaxx’s giveaways (blind boxes, single releases and more) during the SGCC show days.

For figure collectors, Collectors Ark will be displaying limited-edition statues, busts, intricate figures, and film prop replicas of legendary characters, and icons from Marvel, DC Comics, Lord of the Rings and many more in a wide range of scales. 

A close partner of renowned brands like Prime 1 Studio, Queen Studios, and Infinity Studio, it has some impressive artworks under its belt, including lifelike life-size busts of the Joker and Harley Quinn from Infinity Studio.

A huge part of SGCC has always been fostering the community spirit, and this year’s iteration will build on previous versions of the Work In Progress (W.I.P) program to present a comic submission competition, talks by industry professionals, and award-winning creators from over 28 countries. A new Food Zone has also been added to B2, featuring pop-up stores from LiHO, Gopizza, Blanco Court Beef Noodles, and Cat and the Fiddle.
