Last May 4, 2013, KGMAC or Kapampangan Gundam, Mecha, Arts and Crafts Community was once again, able to show Pampanga how they spread the PlaMo (Plastic Model) Love by doing the toy displays of the recently concluded Hobbyfest 2013 which was spearheaded by the Hobbiworx Tagcom Team.

| Lol, improvements! from a posterceptioned bondpaper banner into a regular tarp |
This is actually the 2nd year that KGMAC has done the toy displays for Hobbyfest 2012. first one was last May 12, 2012 (our second major toy display event) which was done at the same venue, Robinson's Starmills, Pampanga.

The event started around 10am and ended around 7pm on that day. There were toys (courtesy of KGMAC..) and tenants who sold a lot of stuff, ranging from Japanese goodies, hats, (I was tempted to buy that Iron Man bonnet... but my wallet was almost dead.) action figures and cosplay accessories.
 |
| There were also a lot of sellers... I got myself a 1997 HW Lamborghini Countach and a Gashapon Rei Ayanami.. >_< |
Of course, hobbifest won't be complete without cosplay. :) I enjoyed watching the cosplay catwalk and some cosplayers scurrying around the event area. Unluckily enough, I wasn't able to have my photo taken with some of the characters that I like (boooooo.). But still, seeing someone who has portrayed one of the characters that you like is already enough.

| CelebSeven and... Tutturuuuuuuuuu!!!!! >_< now where's Shiningu Fingaa? :P |
 |
| This li'l fella justified and gave a whole new meaning to the saying "Small but Terrible". Meet chibi LuBu |
Overall, the event was a success. A lot of people, I think, enjoyed watching the cosplay catwalk, purchased the goods at the shops, (that "iyak-tawa" feel whenever you purchased something good, but it leaves a gaping hole in your pocket/wallet, or just simply, that feel whenever you want to buy something but you don't have enough money for it.) and just by taking photos of the toy displays.
As for KGMAC, it is indeed, another milestone added to it's history. Who would've guessed that that small group of hobbyists who usually hang out at the mall's foodcourts, would end up displaying for such a big event. As one of the founders of the group, it has made me happy, seeing how much the group has grown. It makes me so proud... *sniff*
And thus here are some of the photos (courtesy of Mr. Paolo Bañaga, Mr Joe Arvin Faustino and Mr. Billson Garcia)

We had a blast, and once again, the group would like to thank the Hobbiworx Tagcom team for giving us the opportunity to show our stuff, and to those who went to the event, I do hope you liked our toy display. :)
