ASCO FEATURE

What is toy collecting? Hobbyists can collect a range of toys including, action figures or die-cast cars. To some, it is a way of reconnecting with their childhood. It can also be a way for others to challenge themselves with the thrill of hunting their next collectible. What I like about it: Rey Philip Pantaleon is a Field Sales Support Manager based in Manila. In his free time, Rey is an avid toy collector. He’s been growing his collection of Funko Pops, Hot Toys, and Bear Bricks since 2015. Rey’s current collection ranges from Star Wars to anime. His impressive gallery might make you want to start collecting, too!

• Art Toys satisfy the geek in me • Seeing my collection relieves my stress and makes me smile What I find challenging: • Resisting the hype • Funding and space limitations • My wife
