The opportunities for show staff to make it to Asian conventions is a bit lower than those in the US and Canada, but thanks to the magic of the internet that doesn't mean they can't say hello to fans all around the world! As such The Friendship Express is beginning crowdfunding to get a Skype call with Vincent Tong, the voice of Flash Sentry and more.
Check on after the break to learn how you can donate today!
HELP US GET AN INTERVIEW WITH VINCENT TONG!
The Friendship Express, the Malaysian MLP:FiM convention is reaching out to the community at
large to help make the event better and more attractive. The team has been given an offer to
have a one hour Skype session during the event with voice actor Vincent Tong and is seeking
community funds to help make it happen.
Funds will be raised via a crowdfunding campaign powered by Pozible. Starting 5th February,
supporters can make their pledges on the campaign site here in exchange for convention
enhancements and merchandise.
Vincent Tong is the voice behind Flash Sentry, one of the most well known characters of the
show as well as some other background characters including Donut Joe and Prince Blueblood.
The team hopes to make the best of this offer as it is too far beyond budget to be able to afford
to bring any of the show personalities to Malaysia.
The team hopes to be able to raise RM1000 (~300USD) to offset the cost of having a session
with Vincent. Funds collected will go towards offsetting the expenses for Vincent’s session while
excess funds (if any) will be used to help cover the cost of holding the convention.
Announced in December 2014, The Friendship Express is happening on the 21-22nd March 2015 at SSTwo Mall in Petaling Jaya. Admission is free with booth rentals starting at just RM80.
