As if covering two events this week alone wasn’t already enough, it was already time to cover ToyCon 2013, the most anticipated pop culture event of the season. “Good grief,” was all I could mutter as I’ll need more than luck and determination to cover this three-day event. Luckily, the rest of the staff of arkadymac.com will be on hand to help me out in the coming days.
And we are at the Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention 2013, or TOYCON 2013, at SM Megatrade Halls 1, 2 and 3, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. Running from June 14-16, the event promises lots of games, surprises, celebrities, booths, and freebies for everyone. There’s something for everyone as the event is filled with all things fun and interesting about pop culture, from games, toys, hobbies, collectibles, movies and TV, anime and manga, comics and music.
Although there are already a lot of attractions at the site, there was no particular cosplay event for the day, so there were not a lot of cospayers around. But still we wish to commend the effort of those who took the time to make the event a little more colorful and a little more intersting through their cosplays.
Well, ToyCon is just warming up. More attractions and events tomorrow, so please stay tuned for our coverage, okay? Thank you, and please drop by again. Many thanks to Markie/Kaiji for being my assistant photographer.
