Toys! Toys! Toys!
Friday, June 5th, 2009One of the most awaited event by collectors, gamers, cosplayers, hobbyists, comics and anime fans is coming again in just a few days.
It’s the 8th Philippine Toy Convention.
Surprise! Surprise! Troy is also into toys for the not-so-big-boys. hehehe
Well, you know what they say… boys will always be boys.
Unlike some friends, my stash isn’t nearly enough to even be called a collection. And just like a typical little jealous boy, I’m often left drooling whenever I see what others have in their stock.
Since I’m also into photography, whenever possible, I love taking pictures of toys as well. So I am hoping to “meet” my newest subject for the next shoot in the convention . hehe
There are far too many possible things to witness and experience in this event. Toy conventions are also usually an opportunity for cosplay practitioners to display their often elaborate and entertaining art. And did I mention the aesthetically pleasing girls normally posted on the various booths?
According to news, another sweetener for the event is a collectors’ exhibit and merchandising display for both upcoming movies Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and GI JOE: Rise of Cobra. Now, that should be reason enough for any avid fan to go.
You can just imagine why festivities like these would be short of paradise for me.
I always try to go and visit whenever my schedule permits. But I missed going to last year’s toycon. So this time around, I’m clearing up my calendar for this one. Hopefully, I get to visit for the 2 days it’s going to be on.
See you all on June 13 and 14, at the SM Megatrade Hall!
