Radson Flores, Matt Lozano Headlines at Soul Of Chogokin GX-118 Voltes V Legacy Launch TAMASHII NATION POP UP SPOT - Robinsons Place Manila

 

One of the world's most noted brand in collectible figures just set up a pop up shop at the middle of Robinsons Place in Manila. Tamashii Nations has always been the go to folks for everything anime, manga, and is part of Bandai. You could evidently see how detailed their pieces are, and plus points on craftsmanship which we all got to see on their shelves!

If you're a fan of Dragon Ball Z, Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Gundam series, several anime's, you'll certainly love what they have to offer. They also gave tons of discounts for patrons and fans, plus a few launches that interested us especially the new die cast figure for Soul Of Chogokin GX-118 Voltes V Legacy. Kapuso actors Radson Flores and Matt Lozano were also there for the delight of Voltes V Legacy fans and gave them time to talk, do a few activities and signed some of the products bought on the pop up store.

Meet the Soul Of Chogokin GX-118 Voltes V Legacy. It's super cool to look at in person, and Akira san mentioned how much he took time to not only put accuracy in the model, but also be able to do the separate vehicles justice. For those asking, GreattoysOnline.com is the sole distributor for Tamashii Nation in the Philippines. They are also celebrating their 25th anniversary, and what service did they made for those who love toys and anime-manga culture. Akira san also told us that they've got lots of event exclusive models including one for Kamen Rider which he also designed. Here's the event on video, please enjoy!

   

I'm also super happy about Radson and Matt of not only landing the roles for Voltes V Legacy, but being a full part of POP CULTURE, that when Voltes V is mentioned, they will be part of that already. That's super cool in so many levels, and I hope they would be able to make fans gush not only with their looks, but geeks who continue to love the show to this day.

Congratulations to Tamashii Nation, GreattoysOnline.com and the men and women who made this event possible. They are still there until March 15th so make sure to head on to Robinsons Place Manila if you want a dose of Voltes V Legacy, more manga, mecha and anime, grab your friends, family and get those Tamashii Nation products to make yourself happy!

Robinsons Appliances Hold Last Leg of RACE TO A MINUTE in Galleria South!

Spent my whole afternoon and evening traveling to San Pedro, Laguna a few days ago for the last leg of Robinsons Appliances Race to a Minute 2023. It's where they pick lucky shoppers from Robinsons Appliances and let them go through a short distanced course with 6 different activities in order to win prizes from Robinsons Appliances. They're doing this to say THANK YOU to all their customers who have patronized Robinsons Appliances all this year, and they gave up to Php 220,000 worth of prizes to lucky shoppers. 

The event was hosted by Turs Daza and Elisse Joson. They have already done those in Valencia in Bukidnon, Robinsons Galleria Cebu, Robinsons Tugegarao so it was time to do it with GMA participants this time in the City of San Pedro. Each station in the event was quite difficult and had to be solved with physical strength, wit, and smarts. Their sponsors and appliance brands chipped in on each exercise, it was quite tiring to run around the mall while we chase the contestants to document it, here's how it went!

Here's the announcement of winners!

In the end, it was the Yellow team that won this last leg, and according to their conversations during the event (the executives and production), they plan to do another one by next year. So see, it's really worth it to shop at Robinsons Appliances. Make sure you follow their social channels especially their Facebook Page because they announce it and other promos there. 

Congratulations to the winners and of course to Robinsons Appliances! Can't wait to join the festivities soon and be part of this event, because from where I see it, it's worth it!

3rd Biggest TIMEZONE Opens at Robinsons Place Manila

My love for the arcades span years when I used to compete in different shops in Metro Manila. It further sparked my gamer life... and I've made lifelong friends which I treasure to this day. What I love about this form of entertainment is that it transcends time, as it is the perfect bonding time for people of any age and I still love it today. A few days ago, I've had the pleasure of spending time at the third largest TIMEZONE in the Philippines. This is located at Robinsons Place Manila's second floor at the end of the Pedro Gil wing, and it was so much fun to be in an arcade again after so many years!

Entertainment like this was surely missed during the last few years and I'm so glad restrictions have eased, and we can now enjoy a world class family entertainment center at the heart of Manila. We also got to talk to Rafael Prats Jr. the President and GM of TIMEZONE in the Philippines as he explained some of the new things the new branch will offer - including several short Tenpin Bowling and Duckpin lanes which people tend to get addicted to the whole day. Aside from that they've got several billiard tables which Dads, Sons, your friends can enjoy! There are also several Karaoke Kiosks where you can sing to your hearts content without the public judging you because it is an enclosed space. They also have a new 9D ride which people loved so much, it had a line in just a few minutes.

Thank you to Azrael Coladilla and Ruth Dela Cruz for taking photos of me while I was seriously playing for tickets at the newest TIMEZONE in Robinsons Place Manila

 

Much of the machines in this new venue actually come out with tickets which you can save and use to exchange with toys, plushies and food items. My personal favorite is the one that spins around and cough up discs that contain the value of tickets, I got 1K worth of it from that. I exchanged it for snacks and a plushie so I have something to give my Mom when I get home. She loved it!

Here's a short tour of the place on video, please enjoy!

 

 

 

Folks who love crane machines will be in plushie and ticket heaven as they've got a lot of these in the new TIMEZONE branch. Miss Universe Philippines National Director Shamcey Supsup was also there playing with her whole family. She represents ARTE partylist who represent entertainment industry workers and artists, she's really beautiful!

By the way, their prize redemption center was like a candy store. You can enter yourself and shop for the prize you want personally. Then they just scan your card for the equivalent points, pretty easy. I had so much fun at TIMEZONE and for sure, I will be back to play more of the games I did good at. Thank you so much to the people at TIMEZONE in Robinsons Place Manila, now you have more reasons to enjoy time with family and friends in Manila. Time for fun!
