MAX Collector's Collectors Con Year 4 Event Returns to SM North EDSA
MAX Collector's Collectors Con Year 4 returns to SM North EDSA this year. The event will be the fourth annual gathering focusing on pop culture items such as collectibles, figures, manga, and anime accessories. Although the exact date has not been announced yet, the event, which has typically been held in the summer months in previous years, is expected to take place in 2025.
Collecting and anime culture are growing rapidly in the Philippines. MAX Collector is known as one of the pioneering platforms in this field in the country. The company had previously brought together collectors with rare figures, limited-edition accessories, and special edition manga at past events. Last year's Collectors Con Year 3 reportedly exceeded 10,000 attendees.
The event is not limited to sales booths; it also offers side events such as raffles, cosplay contests, and autograph sessions. Particularly, featuring independent works by local artists is one of the features that distinguishes the event from larger fairs. Being held at a central location like SM North EDSA aims to attract visitors from all over Metro Manila.
Although which brands and publishers will be present at this year's event has not been announced yet, it is known that Good Smile Company, Bandai Namco, and local distributors have set up booths in previous years. With the growth of the anime and manga market in the Philippines, Collectors Con is expected to reach a wider audience. Organizers stated that they will make an official announcement regarding the date and list of participants in the coming weeks.
For collecting enthusiasts, such events are highly important for accessing rare items and connecting with the community. If you are in the area, it's worth marking your calendar. You can follow updates on MAX Collector's official social media accounts and website.
