75 Years of Batman

Batman is celebrating his 75th birthday this year and fans all over the world are treated with events showcasing the caped crusader's history throughout the years.
A group of toy collectors from the South of the Metro got invited to exhibit their Batman figures and vehicles at SM BF, Paranaque in October 24-31, 2014. 

The many faces of Batsie. One side of the mini theater.

Fans were also treated to a special screening of Batman's various vehicles from 66 up to The Bat.

The event would not be complete without showcasing some Batman action figures and some of Gotham City's key characters. I also got to display some of my action figures and vehicles together with my fellow toy collectors from the south of the Metro -- Jeffrey Velasquez and sons, Raffy Panganiban, Karsen Bob Teh, PJ Arcellana, JC Rivera and Liam Caballes.

Truly a great year for Batman fans, not only we're being bombarded with tons of collectibles but also, we get to celebrate Batman's history and introduce him to the new generation of Batman fans. Cheers, Batman! And please watch your back. :)

2014 Cosplay Rumble Zone

It has been ages since I last exhibited my toys so I said yes to the organizer of the event without any hesitation and I have started making a simple base for my Masters of the Universe Classics toys. Which took me about 3 days to complete the lava base.

The event was more on Cosplay competition and the toy display was just an added attraction. 'Went to the venue at SM Cener Las Pinas, Manila at 0630 to prepare my display. Took me about 3 hours to set-up everything.

After almost 3 hours, I'm done with my set-up

2013 HEROCON

HEROCON 2013

The newly formed group Heroes Are Us spearheaded this project as a Toy Drive for the survivors of typhoon Yolanda and Gawad Kalinga Maralit. Like with others toy convention in the country, there were toy displays, diorama, selling, cosplay, contests and of course gift-giving and toy donation.

The event kicked off with Herbie on display a week before the event. 

December 20, 2013 was devoted purely for selling. As a toy collector, this is usually my favorite part of any convention. Items ranging from action figures, comic books, stuffed toys to cosplay materials.

Cosplay Galore!

Diorama display by TS1:18 featuring G.I. Joe and Transformers cross-over.

Was able to display some of my Masters of the Universe Classics action figures.

Panel discussion with Direk Peque Gallaga, Lori Reyes, Anna Larruchea and Janus del Prado (from the hit show way back, Batang X) and Jeffrey Benitez of Pinoykon on the future of Pinoy Superhero.

John Arcilla serenaded the crowd and helped in awarding Jolina of Gawad Kalinga a college grant from the Mayor of Paranaque City.

 

The event also marked the partnership between Heroes Are Us and iCOZPLAY. 

 

Me, just having a blast :)

More pictures coming soon. :)
