6th Christmas TOYCON and The 1st Philippine Die Cast & Custom Car Show

Friday, November 25, 2011

A friend shared this with us the other day. These are Sony Playstation gashapon made by Tomy Arts and the line features 6 versions of the first Sony Playstation. These come with accessories such as a controller, a game disk and a memory card.

I particularly want the gray classic model and the black one. I've always wanted to have that black console, but we already had an older gray PS unit then so buying one was out of the question.That PS unit is still with me .Too bad it doesn't work anymore.Right now, it is stashed in a box somewhere in our storage room.

These are currently available in Japan; there's also a listing on Amazon.jp for a complete set of six but I don't think they ship here. I hope that these reach our shores pretty soon because I would love to get my hands on them!

New Toys From Jollibee Kids Meal

Jollibee recently came out with 4 new toys for their Kids Meal: two from Megaman and two from Bratz.

It's happening this weekend. I've been thinking of going, but I might pass up on this one. Besides, I don't think I won't be able to last in there anyway, if last year's sale is an indication. The place was so packed with people you can hardly move an inch.

Joint Junkie also posted another toy event which happens next weekend : XTC 2011. I'm thinking whether I should go and take a peek since I wasn't able to go to last year's con.
