Event: Exclusive Disney-Marvel Presentation
Date: January 20, 2011
Location: Manila Peninsula, Makati City
=====
Following the merger of Marvel Entertainment with The Walt Disney Company in December 2009, Fun Characters International (FCI) proudly welcomed Marvel - the world's no. 1 character entertainment brand - to their fold. FCI is the leading character licensing company and master licensee for Disney Consumer Products across Asia.
An exclusive presentation for Disney & Marvel was held in Manila Peninsula today and we were among the few people lucky enough to be invited.
We met Mr. Simon Philips, President of Marvel International; Mr. Roger Lim, Managing Director of Fun Characters International (FCI); Ms. Anabel Higgin, FCI Market Development Manager and a few more important people from Disney & Marvel.
Mr. Simon Philips gave a short presentation about Marvel and exclusive sneak previews for upcoming events we should all watch out for from Marvel.
Because of an impromptu direction to wear our Marvel costumes, DonRobert and I came in as Ironman and Ms. Marvel along with another cosplayer friend Flash who was Deadpool.
It was such an honor that Mr. Simon Philips acknowledged us. He really liked our costumes. It was sooo cool! He even had a photo taken with DR on his own phone & told Robert he'll show it to Robert Downey Jr. when they meet again. Really cool!
We really had fun and it was nice to see old friends again. It was such a very inspiring event and we are really grateful for the opportunity.
Next stop - Avengers Assemble!
