2013 Collecticon

2013 Collecticon.

The best Collecticon ever! For me at least because I bagged 2 awards. For the 3rd year now, won in the toy photography contest and a surprised 3rd place win for the new category (on-the-spot photo) sponsored by Maxi Collector.

It was an amazing event held in Rob Place, Manila on September 19-20. Great toy bargains and amazing toy displays. 

The attendees were also treated to a rare opportunity to watch master customizer Myke dela Paz share his skills. Here are some of Myke's amazing works displayed during the event:

I would also like to congratulate my fellow toy photographer, Christopher Diones and Leslie Araujo for making the event's amazing poster:

KAPOW! Universe Press Launch

Rejoice, Marvel fans! A new store located at Glorietta 5, Makati City has arrived to quench your addiction for anything Marvel. I got invited during the press launch last Sunday and I was greeted with items from toys, comic books, shirts, caps, mugs, key holder and a bunch more stuff -- all Marvel! 

Visit KAPOW! Universe and marvel at the store's look - inside and out. 

Cosplayers graced the press launch:

Spock: But, Captain Minion, firing all of our Plasma Torpedoes to an unknown ship is highly illogical.

I can't wait for the release of Despicable Me in theaters this July. Thanks to Mcdonald's Happy Meal we get to own these cute minions. I have been seeing tons of creative shots of these minions and I have created some too :)
