8th Philippine Toy Convention

Posted on July 16th, 2009 in Photography

I almost forgot to blog about this. As you know, my husband and I have been hooked into watching Japanese series and animes. And as such, he is also a gundam kit builder (i don’t know if this is the correct term). So he is pretty much on radar when it comes to Toy Convention and Costume Plays or cosplay as it is called by the Japanese (due to their limit on the use of syllables for certain terms).

Anyway, here in the Philippines, I have seen several of these and even accompanied hubby to one last year. We don’t have a decent camera back then so the pictures are stored somewhere I can’t already remember. Last June, the 8th Toy Convention was held at the Megatrade Hall in SM Megamall. Hubby went with friends from college and there he got the chance to take pictures of some cosplayers who participated in the event. Here they are:

Hubby specially thanked the Soul Eater team for posing for him. More pictures here.
