A Celebration Of TOYCON's 18th Year In The Asian Pop Culture Scene

The Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention, better known as TOYCON PH, is celebrating 18 years of serving pop culture enjoyment to its fans both local and international. It is, simply put, the longest-running and premiere pop culture event in Asia.  

Early this year, TOYCON PH presented a fresh visual identity, through a new logo, to cater to the growing millennial crowd, and also attract visitors from all over the world with a global perspective to promote the Philippines as the leading pop culture playground in Asia, that showcases Filipino creativity, innovativeness and talent through toys, games, entertainment and digital content.

TOYCON PH – Where Asia Comes to Play!

TOYCON’s new tagline indicates the direction of where it is going. 

It used to be when TOYCON was just all about toys and collecting geeky stuff, and being under one roof with pop-culture fanboys, cosplayers, gamers and comic book nerds. But this year, TOYCON heads off for uncharted waters and borrowing from a certain famous space TV show, “Boldly goes to where no CON has gone before.”

The Philippine TOYCON, now on its 16th year, began an exciting partnership with Pop Life Entertainment, a leading international creative house and brand development company, last year to create the ultimate Fan experience for the Filipino pop-culture fans.

ToyCon Pop Life FanXperience 2016 was the biggest celebration of all things associated with pop-culture such as toys, games, movies, cosplay, anime and collectibles. FanXperience made ToyCon the staging-ground of the "ultimate fan experience” for the local fan base who got to get up close and personal for the first time with international celebrities like Kristian Nairn from Game of Thrones and Dean Cain from the Adventures of Superman.

TOYCON 2016 & Pop Life FanXperience

After 14 conventions, TOYCON Philippines is proud to announce its partnership with Pop Life Entertainment to create the ultimate FanXperience for the Filipino pop-culture fans! ToyCon 2016 + Pop Life FanXperience will be the biggest celebration of all things associated with pop-culture such as toys, games, movies, cosplay, anime and collectibles. FanXperience is the offshoot event of the Salt Lake City Comic Con, the 3rd largest comic convention in the United States with over 125,000 in attendance. Through its global partnership with Pop Life Entertainment, ToyCon 2016 will be the staging-ground of the "ultimate FanXperience for their international fan base with exclusive show merchandise, exhibitions, international cosplay competition COSFANX, celebrity appearances ” ”and much more.

ToyCon 2015 Celebrates 14 Years With BATTLEFIELDS OF PLAY

Those of us who grew up in the pre-social media era or even the pre-electronic gaming age remember a time when “Play” was associated with the outdoors.  We fondly remember halcyon days of setting up toy soldiers in the hilly terrain of our own backyard or lining up our Star Wars action figures to go into battle with our He-Man toys in the wonderland of our childhood bedroom. 

Those were the days, when our imagination knew no limits and the fantasy characters of comics, cartoons and movies were our genuine playmates; ready to defend and protect us, by the Power of Greyskull or by the all-encompassing Force, forging into battle with the evil hordes of Cobra, the Legion of Doom or armies of Decepticons.

We never knew it, but our childhood was fraught with glory in our Battlefields of Play.  And this is what we celebrate once again, as a clarion call sounds to dust off our toys and wage war once again with glee and joy in our hearts.  

TOYCON 2014: The Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention

What's bigger than dinosaurs? Giant robots. What's bigger than giant robots? Godzilla. What's bigger than Godzilla? Freakin' outer space! Where a bunch of aliens are busy guarding the galaxy.

There's nothing that can compare with bigness. But sometimes, even the thought of "bigness" is an understatement when you find something that can contain all these things and add in a huge dose of fun and thrills. Prepare for the biggest one yet! It's time for TOYCON 2014!!

The Philippine Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention, or TOYCON as it's more widely-known, is Asia's biggest and longest running convention for collectibles, toys, anime, comics, cosplay, gaming and anything and everything related to hobbies and collections.

TOYCON 2011 The Venue of a Cosplay Movie!?

Be one of the cosplayers present at the TOYCON this year and be part of movie project called COSPLAY NATION. As we all know that the cosplay community in the Philippines is expanding and also attracting a lot of audience. And with the burst of cosplayers and conventions, I think its time for us to make at least a documentary about this industry. And of course, this will be lead by the cosplay Goddess of the Philippines, Ms. Alodia Gosiengfiao!  And also TOYCON goes bigger and bigger this year as it celebrates its 10th year. I have been attending TOYCON for years now and also saw that progress and support it got from the public, cosplayers and toy enthusiasts.

It has been 75 years since that first comic book was released andmade the legacy. Now in line with this celebration, DC comics have revealved their activities at a Press launch at the Podium.

For this year, June will be the celebrating month for the DC anniversary as it is the major presentor of the Toy Convention 2010 that will be held at SM Megamall. The TOYCON will also feature programs and activities like cosplay and toy auctions that are DC Comic characters. The TOYCON also aims of gathering the most number of DC Comic Characters in Cosplay. There is also a event wherein they will setup a challenging trail (wall climbing, ropes and other things) set up inside the mall for those thrillseekers who has superhero guts. 

DC mechandise will also be part of the celebration with apparel and school supplies with DC chaacters. Penshoppe also has its own line of DC comic fever with desgner shirts. Of course, television shows like Batman Brave and te Bold, Justice League, Smallville still dominates the air which actually paved the way for the celebration.

FInally, on 2011, many will be anticipating the premiere of the GREEN LANTERN staring Ryan Rennolds in theaters. But within this year we will also get excited for the filmadaptation of Jonah Hex, a DC comic which was  drawn by a Fiilipino, Tony DeZuniga . So this shows that DC is also very greatful for patronizing the characters and their merchandise. As it still expands its universe, there will be more things in the future we will look foward to as DC comics never stops in entertaining and saving the universe.
