Saw my July 2022 highlights in my laptop.
Clicked on it and it was the photos that I took in ToyCon 2022 which was held in a mall near my place. I went there with two previous officemates. I also saw another former colleague in the event. It was a fun event. Never got a chance to buy anything due to budget constraints but I was happy seeing lots and lots of toys.
This year's ToyCon will be held in the event center of a mall. No, I won't go because I have a shift at work and missing a day at work to attend a toy convention isn't worth it this time around. Plus, the tickets this year are way more expensive than last year.
Anyway, here's a collage of the photos in my highlight reel. The photos are from the top row starting at left - the Masterclass Edition of Soundwave from Transformers, Pol Medina Jr, a well-known Filipino cartoonist, a life-size Funko Pop Jollibee, Spiderman in the Venom symbiote, Godzilla, a scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back which features Hans Solo in Carbonite, Boba Fett, Jabba and his goons, and Luke Skywalker.
In the second row are more Star Wars action figures including Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, storm troopers, some droids among others, Star Wars but with a samurai twist, the Dinobots again for Transformers, and a set of local Filipino superheroes - Captain Barbell, Darna, and Lastikman.
Bottom row has the Avengers against Thanos, more Transformers, He-Man and the Master of the Universe action figures, Batman, and Hawkman.
Have you been to any convention?

I have not but made me think of a video game I bought kind of like toy cars but like corporate world in a way too. Its fun can be a taxi driver, tow truck and make enough money and just buy race cars and fix them up and make a garage and stick all your dumb cars in there. I make all mine all black with all black tinted windows. I have a army . It looks pretty cool and can't wait to add more. I am sure game will be boring soon but for many they can play in a community but I do not like that because people to silly coming from me.

If I had the money and time, I'd be buying project cars to fix.

That would be a fun day to see all of these. I always wanted to go to a comic con. My daughter went a couple of times and saw so many stars, and saw William Shatner, she was actually impressed with him.
