Review: The Gathering 11th TAGCOM [Toys and Hobbies Convention] (April 29, 2017)
Clockwise: Present and accounted for at The Gathering 11th TAGCOM (Toys and Hobbies Convention). | Looking though the lens of a toy for sale at the convention. | Photo opportunity with Justice PH. | Kong: Skull Island merchandise. | All ready for Disneyland: Some hats that we picked up. | If money were no object, I would have scooped up all of the all of the available Fallout 4 5″ Vault Boy 111 Bobbleheads in a heartbeat. Pictured are the Melee Weapons, Strength, and Repair Bobbleheads.
I ate my words today.
What I thought would be (at the most) a half-day event–The Gathering 11th TAGCOM [Toys and Hobbies Convention]–turned into a whole day affair.
Yep. The Fam and I ended up staying from 11 am till closing.[i] Even I can’t believe it myself.
It was loads of fun. Lots to see. But we were all dead tired by the end of it all.
A fun and fulfilling kind of tired.
The Sights
Despite only occupying what seemed like a very generous 3/4 of the Megatrade Hall 3, there seemed to be a little something for everyone. Character beanies and dinosaurs aside, what stood out for me was the amount of Godzilla merchandise spread out among the vendors. There was a ton and I’m sure they have been around, but for me, it was like they all appeared out of nowhere.
