Today was again the time for a convention for Toys & Hobbies Convention, and this time it was held at Robinsons Place Manila Midtown Atrium. That part of the mall is the newest extension and also the most widest, perfect for conducting events such as these. And with this event, of course there would be a lot of people that regularly stroll the mall would be able to see them and also pass by the shops and displays inside. The good thing about this event is the fact that its not enclosed inside a convention center and there is no entrance fee. Thus, everyone can get a chance to be part of the convention and also a higher chance of making profit for the stores there.
TAGCOM is a haven for toy and anime enthusiasts since there were merchandise for die cast, scaled models and other tools and accessories devoted for the craft. There was also a competition of the best in die cast and scaled models which I find very impressive. Pinoy craftsmen can now be proud to be great toymakers and scalers in the international scene. Every detail has been carefully been made even with a meticulous eye. Of course, models from anime and American comic books also in demand with the crowd, there were also DVDs and accessories shop which makes it a one stop shop.
And of course, TAGCOM also smells cosplay for its two days. For this event, its also special to me since this will be the first grand eyeball of my cosplay clan, the Nosebleed Cosplay group which has more than 700 members and counting! However there were a hundred plus member who shoed up for the EB but it was very overwhelming since we almost dominated the TAGCOM event. We also had a tarpulin and even conquered the McDonalds store. There, we had the french fries festival, as in an overflowing of fries in a tray! But its not the food or the tarp that made our day, it was the new aquaintances and bonding that the guild had.
The guild had a memorable time of doing the thing we like best, cosplaying and since there were a lot of enthusiasts and photographers, the member had their time in striking a pose. So far, not all in the guild were wearing costumes, some are there to assist with the costumes and some are more of the anime fanatics that have prowess in drawing. We are now looking forward to more cosplay events in the future especially Ozine fest in April.
