"Over the Weekend"
A bit late, but yeah, I went to ToyCon last weekend.
Well, it wasn't really much of a ToyCon in a sense since it was more like your current standard hobby convention with toys, comics, anime, online games. It was both a good and bad thing, but it could've been ironed out anyway if they provided enough space, since they rented out two of the trade halls anyway.
Speaking of which, it was kind of funny that majority of the convention-goers weren't able to recognize the more off-radar cosplays.
Most of the anime merchandise on sale were mainstream stuff, nothing much that's off the radar. The non-anime toys, now there's the good stuff, with lots of bargains and collectibles. I didn't buy any though, since I already spent my money on all 6 issues of Transformers: The War Within. I did ask around for a Soul of Chogokin Dancougar, but was told the restock would be on October. Ah well, enough time to save up then.
Spent the second day with Gani, Alex, Larissa (SP?), MC, Meca, then met Mark and Hervin in the con. I also was able to buy the Beerkada #6, and yeah, you could tell from the cover it was good because it was an Archie comics parody. (But then, I like parodies so that may just have been my taste.) I was able to give Mikko GaoGaiGar eps 29+, and man did he get a sweet deal with a GaoFighGar figure for only 450 bucks.
Anyway, we stayed for for the cosplays but didn't see how it ended. It was still fun and now I'm ever more deluded into planning for a future cosplay. Most likely I'll do a R?tsel(Retsuel) Feinschmecker since he's my fave SRT-OG character. (Not his mech though, since that spot is taken by the Shin Ryuu Ko Ou)
Ah well, we'll see if ever... If ever...
