TOYCON PH 2022 – THE BIG SHOW RETURNS FOR A GRAND HOMECOMING!

It’s been too long since the community of pop culture fans and collectors have come together since the pandemic struck. For many, this long drought without any gathering to celebrate our common love for all things creative, innovative and collectible has gone on way too long. 

So let's all reunite at TOYCON 2022 this July 8 to 10 at SM Megatrade Halls! 

It is TOYCON's 19th year and for long-time TOYCON fans, it’s no secret that Voltes V holds a special place in this convention’s heart. I'm sure that we all missed the iconic robot that has never missed a spot among the collage of colorful characters on the TOYCON poster since the very start. 

At the heart of the Voltes V story is a tale of a family divided, of struggles suffered and surpassed, but ultimately a reunion of love. Which is really what TOYCON is about too, isn’t it?  It is a yearly reunion, and for this year, a homecoming, as we return to the place where it all started.

TOYCON Back to Basics

TOYCON was started as a gathering of people of like minds. It has always been a collaboration of many to put together the biggest pop culture event in the country and in South East Asia. It is an alliance, which this year, goes back to its roots, as we put on a TOYCON which feels familiar but still is the cutting-edge show it has been which other shows have imitated but never duplicated.
