Hello Everyone!

Here are the top 20 cosplayers of 2010. All pictures were taken (with the cosplayers' permission) during the Toycon 2010 at the SM Megamall. If you know the name of the characters they are portraying (or if you know their name, wink wink), please feel free to post them at the comments section.

Here's a taste of cosplaying action. These girls didn't make it to the top 20, though, probably because there were a lot of them and if you only take one from the group, it wouldn't be as spectacular. Enjoy!

Field Report: I Ai Anime (July 10, 2010)

After the two-day Toycon (Read Field Reports for Day One and Day Two) comes “I Ai Anime”, a similar event but much more Anime-oriented than the Toycon.

“I Ai Anime” also comes in a two-day installment, however, due to prior engagements, otaku.ph writer fluffy and this writer was only able to visit the event, regrettably, on day one. So if you’re reading this today, July 10, then you can still try and visit the event tomorrow.

Toys, Manga, more Pirated Anime, plus so much more, after the break.

Field Report: Toycon 2010: Day Two (June 20, 2010)

We didn’t know beforehand that Day Two of this year’s Toycon would be much more fun!

I went again together with my girlfriend. At the mall, we met up with Otaku.ph contributor bakaranger.

We arrived at around noon, and seen from outside the Megatrade Hall, the event itself was more or less the same. In fact, it looked much more spacious, and there was far less participants than the day before. Even the long line towards the entrance was nowhere to be found. Little did I know that the day was just starting.

Field Report: Toycon 2010: Day One (June 19, 2010)

Konnichiwa!

I just arrived from the first day of the two-day Toy Conference (Toycon) at SM Megamall.

I arrived at the Megatrade Hall at around 11am, got tickets for myself and my girlfriend, and fell in line. We were lucky because we were early, we were only in line for about 10 or 15 minutes. When we got out about two hours later, the lines were about five times longer!

Anyway, as expected, you had to squeeze yourself through the hallways once you get inside as there was a LOT of people fighting to get the best toys. It was so crowded that it was hard to speak to the vendors, to ask for prices, for instance.
