Alodia at ToyCon 2009
Filipina cosplayer Alodia Gosiengfiao was mobbed by fans at ToyCon 2008, an event that brought her international fame. Continuing her rise to power, Alodia got three booths all to herself at ToyCon 2009. Accompanying her, as usual, was her ever-supportive younger sister and fellow cosplayer Ashley.
Looking at her costumes during the event — a gothic lolita and an elven archer — you can see why she needed three whole booths to accommodate her fans.

Besides the upcoming release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, ToyCon 2009 puts the spotlight on toys as an artform. Of course, no convention of such scope would be complete without costumed fans and otaku queens.
