It’s that time of the year again where our calendars will be filled with all those markings of toy sales and gatherings. October’s kick off was huge as there were a total of 3 events held simultaneously to satisfy toy nerds and enthusiasts.
There was the Hasbro Toy Fair at SM North Edsa; Cosplay Mania X at SMX and of course, the much awaited Collecticon 2010.
Last year, cosplay sensation, Alodia, was a VIP guest and a lot of goers went just to have a glimpse of her. She’s not present this year however so it may not have been as crowded as before. Cos-players were only a handful at Collecticon as most were at Cosplay Mania X.
It still was a good crowd though in my opinion. These were real toy collectors hunting for good bargains. There was no side attractions in which we were able to focus more on what the stores had for us.
Sneaky Batman plush toy! I found out later that it’s an mp3 player!
COKE Sarap!
Awesome in RED.

This is now officially a wish list, a nice eye catcher. The guy selling this said that it’s an electronic magnet. Wow. I think it was priced around p2500.
Here are some outstanding display pieces
Light up smileys on a shirt!
There were some dioramas and displays from different toy groups backstage.
That’s Obama in the background. Heh.
That’s me from behind haggling hard! The lady gave in to my requests! Victory!
I think I was talking to the lady for about half an hour just so I could have a sweet deal!
I still haven’t taken some snaps of my loots, I’ll just share them in a different post sometime.
In conclusion, Collecticon 2010 is still one of the cons to look forward to. There were lesser attendees this year and not much photo opportunities from the cosplay community due to simultaneous Cosplay Mania X convention but that’s just a small gripe.
It’s surely a gathering any collector would not want to miss.
