TOYCON Weekend!

After several months of patiently waiting, TOYCON Weekend's finally here! That's right, fellow toy collectors, enthusiasts and fanboys! TOYCON 2017 will be happening tomorrow until Sunday so you better stuff your pockets with some moolah and head on to the SMX Convention Center for the biggest toy event of the year. 

Last year's con was a massive success. I'm pretty sure this year's event will be more badass! Check out the cool list of celebrities you can catch at the con. Lucky fans will get the chance to interact with these folks through the live panels and meet & greet sessions.

By the way, if you're a fan of the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers from the 90's, you can also get a glimpse of Carla Perez a.k.a. Rita Repulsa! How awesome is that?!

As the biggest and longest running toy convention in Asia, TOYCON 2017 boasts some of the biggest exhibits in the world of popular culture. This year's highlights include:

• Japan's top toy brand, Kotobukiya, displays its latest line of Marvel, Star Wars and DC figurines along with the launch of the Frame Arms Girl Anime and merchandise
