Checked out TAGCOM 2012

A few pics of this year's TAGCOM (Toys, Anime, Games Cosplay and Movies/Maquettes Convention) 2012 at Robinson's Manila last March 31, after a long day of sketching and photos at Binondo.



I wanted that Bullit Mustang but I saw it earlier at the mall for a lower price, so I passed.





Gundams are still pretty popular, with the Gundam areas jampacked with people. Made me consider trying one.










The boys of TSS118 put ACTION into action figures with a new diorama layout that chronicles Cobra's misadventures with Xenomorphs with G.I. JOE to the rescue! Congratulations, guys!




At the end of the day though, I didn't see anything exciting enough to buy or explore, save for a little something I'm showcasing next post. Too bad the convention can't seem to showcase anything new with the same old retailers hawking the same old wares -- sometimes with exorbitantly unreasonable prices -- and I came away tired and frustrated. Anyway, here's to hoping for a better convention next year!

  1. That's also how I generally feel. I spent most of my money on comics though. They were a good steal :)

Custom ARAH Duke

Here's another repainted Duke with some new ammo packs made in putty. This is a custom painted 1993 Battle Corps Battle Commander Duke. One of my early experiments with epoxy putty. I have another version of this figure on the workbench so expect to see it soon here too.

Migrating to Facebook

After a tragedy in the family and a slow return to my hobbies, I've realized that I've been posting more on Facebook. It's easier, faster and the audience response is faster. So, posting here might be spasmodic at best for the time being. Bear with me as I decide what to do with my blogs, thanks!
