But Asia Pop Comicon is changing the Philippine convention landscape how things has been full formed in getting that fan experience that only few have travelled to experience it.
But besides the highlighted guests the event have more than just a fair share of what the fandom should experience and here are a few of those to see at this year’s Asia Pop Comicon in Manila!
That Talking Gorilla Head
You want to see a talking gorilla? Or you want to pose with the creatures from Aliens, Predator, and other movie properties that you might have seen in cinemas. ADI’s founders Alec Gillis and Tom Woodruff Jr. is present at the exhibit area featuring these creatures that you thought impossible.
The creatures on exhibit are detailed and life-like, but the center of attention upon looking at the display is the gorilla head attached to computers and two controllers that blinks and talks random dialogue. This pertaining gorilla was seen in the film Zoo Keeper and both founders at ADI is present showing you how animatronics are one of the special effects in bringing these creatures to life.
Inside the Hulkbuster
If you want to have your photos taken using Tony Stark’s Hulkbuster then you must head to Comicave Studios to have that experience. All you need to have that photo opportunity is purchase an exclusive shirt from Comicave worth PhP 250.00 pesos and you’ll be able to take control of this full scale Iron Man suit.
Be Like ‘The Hoff ‘in Knight Rider
You got to be a child of the 1980s to have heard or seen Knight Rider. It was airing Wednesday nights in the Philippines featuring David Hasselhofff as Michael Knight with his trust modified talking Trans AM. the Knight Industries Two Thousand known as K.I.T.T. (voiced by Anthony Daniels) surely you want the chance at the driver seat, but don’t push the Turbo boost!
Revisit Your Star Wars Memory

Well aside from the Hollywood actors that are going to grace the event this weekend. Truly APCC Manila is going to be the best event to be right now.
