Toy Con 2009
Chillin’ with Darth Maul
as the 8th Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention
June 13, 2009, SM Mega Mall Megatrade Hall 2
Pictures from yesterday’s foray into the sea of nerds here. (I say “nerd” with no trace of condescension. We’re nerds, so it’s okay for us to make fun of other nerds. If we were jocks then that would just be plain mean.)
We were supposed to just look at not buy, but Ry and I went home with one toy each: a Soundwave MP3 player (that actually transforms!) for me, and a Revoltech Rodimus Prime for him. It seems like there was less cool merch this year compared to last year, but it was still interesting to poke around.
The cosplay parade was fun as usual. Lots of really awesome intricately-made costumes. I could’ve done with less of the anime dorks and gothic lolitas though.
