On its second straight day of welcoming hobbyists, enthusiasts and collectors from all over, Manila Hobbies & Collectibles Convention 2016 opened another fun year of events for the community last weekend at Megatrade Hall 3 of SM Megamall.

Manila Hobbies & Collectibles Convention 2016 was brought together by Hobbi@worx and PinoyToyKolektor, who have been staunch supporters of the many local hobby communities. arkadymac.com is a media partner for Manila Hobbies & Collectibles Convention 2016, and we had our Coverage Partner Jillian to bring the highlights of the event.
The convention featured exhibitors of a wide range of interests, like toys, model kits, comics, collectibles as well as tons of booths selling related merchandise. Browsing through the many interesting things for display and for sale was a delight in itself, and one was welcome to geek out as much as they want upon the myriad of items found all over the venue.
All throughout the day there were games, contests, raffles and unique entertainment. Among these were the wildly popular live auction that attendees really got into to get the best deals.
The highlights of the day were the various Kpop themed competitions, such as the Kpop Cosplay Competition and Kpop cover dance contests which featured talented dancers and fanatics taking the stage stage and impressing the judges and audiences alike with great performances.
In the end, the winners were announced and got to take home big cash prizes and gift items from the organizers and sponsors, but everyone had a great time as nonstop dance music was played all throughout and everyone encouraged to dance.
The Manila Hobbies & Collectibles Convention was a cozy and fun event for collectors, enthusiasts and the curious alike, and came to a close the evening of the second day, with the organizers thanking everyone for supporting this inaugural event and inviting them to come to their next events.
