Toycon 2009 (8th Philippine Toy Convention, SM Megatrade Hall)
Our stash: Tokidoki x Hello Kitty cactus kitten plush, Fraulein Revoltech Haruhi Suzumiya and a NEWS (Concert Tour Pacific 2007-2008) DVD. Yup that’s what we got yesterday at the 8th Toy Convention at SM Megatrade hall. We went there around noon, Megatrade hall was really crowded, ventilation was really poor and I think there was even a scare of the A(H1N1) virus (some people there wear face masks) but that didn’t stop us to take pictures and shop for toys that we like. I was looking for a nice Saber doll but I didn’t find one, Ali was hoping to buy a Revoltech Pocco, we actually saw one but he hasn’t decided yet if he’s really going to get it. When we came back it was already sold so he settled for a Revoltech Haruhi instead.
The event was fun, there were a lot of participating shops and you can even haggle for the prices of the items, there’s also a cosplay competition, toy photography contest, raffles and games. I just hope that next year they’ll get a bigger, nicer venue. Oh and I hope to get one of those ball-jointed dolls, kawaii!

My housemate and her girlfriend went to ToyCon too and I missed it. I missed the life-size Superman that looks like Brandon Routh. Grrr!
