The explosion of many pop culture events in the
Philippines is good. More events mean more selection and great experience to
the pop culture fans of the country.
Still, there is only one Comicon in the
Philippines that is Toycon – Asia’s biggest and longest running convention for
toys and collectibles, cosplay, comics, gaming and digital entertainment.
Toycon is set this June 8-10, 2018 at the SMX
Convention Center.
Why Toycon is the Comicon of the Philippines?
Toycon boast comics, games, cosplay, digital entertainment
and Hollywood stars, but at the heart of Toycon are the toys and collectibles.
The toys are part of our happiness when we used to be kids,
and the new generation of kids that are continuing the love for toys as part of
their growth and platform for fun and imagination.
Toycon 2018 Boasts Exclusive Toys
You are absolutely correct!
This year’s Toycon parades a lot of exclusive toys that you
can only have when you attend the event.
They have the Manila Killa TEQ63 by Quiccs, Funko Pop
exclusive, Anatoy and other designer toys that will be announced soon.
Toycon the Comicon Philippines is about the Toy and Pop Culture Community
What separates Toycon from its competitors and wannabes is
the community.
Toycon is an event created by hobbyists and geeks passionate
about pop culture, and they are part of the different toy and pop culture
communities in the country.
In fact, you go to Toycon not only to see the program
offerings, and buy toys. If you will observe, you will witness that Toycon is
about meeting friends you have not seen for a long time, friends who share your
passion with toys and collectibles and pop subcultures.
During Toycon, a celebration takes place, the celebration of
meeting other collectors from your chosen subcultures.
And this is the reason why Toycon is the Comicon of the
Philippines.
Toycon is more than a Con
This new tagline speaks volume of Toycon’s identity.
Toycon is more than an event that gather the comic fans and
the movies adaptations that go with it. Toycon is more than games that the
millenials are raving and keeping them awake at night. Toycon is more than
anime, manga and cosplay where we meet the characters of our dreams transformed
to life by cosplayers.
Toycon is a celebration of the Filipino Culture,
imagination, creativity and excellence.
In Toycon, we recognize Filipino talents that contributed in
the growth of pop culture the local and international scenes. There are a lot
of heroes and heroines in the Philippines, they are the creators or
contributors to the characters the world love and adore.
They are celebrated and recognized at Toycon, the only event
that does this (unless after reading this, other Cons and wannabes may copy
this idea, which is still good).
Toycon is a new playground
After experiencing growth and success, Toycon leaders new
vision of creating a new playground for Filipinos and international community
will usher this event to the future.
It will be the vanguard of the Philippine pop culture event
to the next decade. It will be the Comicon Philippines that will attract not
just the Filipinos but international communities to visit and experience Toycon.
I remember when the San Diego Comicon (the largest Comicon
in the world) organizers visited the first Toycon at SMX; they said they have
never seen such huge support to a Pop Culture Convention.
Indeed, exciting things are coming at Toycon.
Come one, Come all
Before the good things that are coming Toycon’s way in the
future, you have to attend, and bring your friends this June 8-10, 2018 at this
year’s Toycon.
The tickets are now available at SM Tickets; buy now so you
can prepare in advance your Toycon experience with your friends.
