June 13-15 will be the date to remember if you are looking forward to have a grand time at TOYCON PH POPLIFE Festival Event happening at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City.

The theme for this year is CELEBRATION, something apt for their 22nd year in the country. Toy collectors, gamers, cosplayers will converge in the venue to make sure all anime heads get their fix. There will also be concentration on Trading Cards, Beyblade matches, RPG and Battle gaming. There will also be cosplay competitions too. They will be occupying the whole Ground Floor of SMX plus an additional function room on the second floor for game matches, plenty of space to go around on that day with your friends and family. 

They will host qualifiers for tournaments and send them to France for the championship, something that serious gamers would want to consider. 

Just to give you an idea, there will be over 400+ dealers and toy sellers in this event this year, the biggest number they have accommodated so far in the history of TOYCON PH. There will be 114 toy designers that will come to the Philippines and also have local talented ones to man their own booths and side events too. Some established brands and new ones will also participate including Japanese guests that may surprise you on different dates. It'll be super fun and exciting, it's going to be the biggest pop event you'll ever get to attend in the Philippines.

Official apparel, merch and figures from NBA will also be there, and we heard talks are being done to bring an NBA player along in this event too. This includes the biggest toy brands like Lego, Bandai, Banpresto, Legendary Beasts, Quiccs (They have an exclusive one, a sequel of Voltes V to be revealed soon) and Voltes V too. 

This will also be the year for the first ever TOYCONcert with several groups and performers lined up, details will be at the TOYCON PH social channels. There will be a dedicated "ARTISTS" alley for designers, comic art, toys, so if you want to have them signed or get unique products from budding ones, this is the place to be!

The last day will have the TOYCON COSCON Finals, and the international art toy design competition powered by the folks from MindStyle.
