The right way to get into the summer vibes was by going to TOYCON Summer Prelude last April 11 -12 in Okada Manila. Both days have two venues where attendees can fully enjoy for free with friends and family.


TOYCON greets all attendees with a grand ribbon-cutting, and the inside is filled with merchants on both sides. All of them are displaying the latest models and toys of different anime, cartoons, and even video games.






The fun doesn’t stop as there were several musical performers like DIV9, Chaeri Ichigo, RAI, Tsu XII, YLSA, Sky Garden, Aidreamin, and Shua Leiue, to name a few, who gave their utmost best to bring the summer vibes to everyone on site.


Finally, with the lineup of amazing guest cosplayers by the garden, attendees were able to have a meet-and-greet with their favorite cosplayers and buy their official merch. The food and drinks, along with many merchants in the garden, gave off a nostalgic summer-festival vibe, more so when the sun started going down.










I had a fun time covering the event with our photographer Ru, as we went around the venue enjoying all the attractions! Arkadymac has been a media partner with TOYCON since 2013, and they really outdid themselves this time around. See you at TOYCON this June!
