It was our first time to visit the Philippine Toy Con, the biggest Pop Culture Event in Manila. 聽
Here’s a photo essay of our Toy Con moments with the Diaz boys…
Toy Con 2014 was well-attended and very crowded. We had to squeeze the little boys who were excited to attend the event for the first time.
The boys were amazed at the Marvel collectible figurines. 馃檪
It was聽 Azrael‘s fault why we attended the event. He聽shared the Toy Con idea with the boys and they were bugging us to go ever since.
The life-size figures are amazing! It was awesome to see all of them in one venue.
The Incredible Hulk in the house! 馃檪
The cosplayers were cool…and some, scary.
The female cosplayers were pretty and friendly, especially to the kids.聽
This being Toy Con, one section was devoted to a toy exhibit.
At the center was the Lego display from the Official Philippine Lego Users Group (PhLUG).
They had a military-themed section…
…different anime-inspired robots…
…and Lego versions of the Jaegers from Pacific Rim. 馃檪
It was awesome to meet the ambassadors and co-founders of PhLUG. 馃檪
There was also a nice display of figurines of the Philippine Basketball Team.
Nobody wanted to pose with this Chucky Doll (from Child’s Play) and his scary bride. 馃槢
Various other collections were on display, like this one featuring Silver Surfer…
…and Bumblebee.
What do you call these kinds of figurines?
Raphael with Spiderman and the X-men. 馃檪
Japak-yaw puppet.
There were also sexy cosplayers that attracted the “M” crowd.
Congratulations to the organizers for a very successful 13th Philippine Toy Con!聽We will certainly be back next year. 馃檪
