Legends Events RE:CON Connects Cosplayers and Anime Fans

On April 5-6, 2025, Cagayan de Oro cosplay event organizer, Legends Events CDO, held its annual “RE:CON” event at the City Mall Iponan. This event allowed cosplayers to show off their amazing cosplays, and for animé and game fans to connect with newbie cosplayers. Attendees also competed in the Amazing Race, where they took part in various team challenges.

According to Legends Events CDO head Kamen Rider Senpai, the goal of “RE:CON” is to gather cosplayers and connect with newbies who want to embark on their cosplaying journey.

While at RE:CON, participants had the opportunity to join in the Bidding Wars—a competitive event where attendees could bid on their favorite merchandise. The items sold in the Bidding Wars include items from RE:CON’s merchants and sponsors, such as JC Animerch Toy Store and Toyzilla Toy Store. The highlight of the Bidding Wars is the Sylus standee from the game “Love and Deepspace.”

Various merchants were also present in the event for attendees to buy merchandise featuring their favorite characters. Attendees were able to visit merchant booths offering everything from figurines and stuffed toys, and stickers and printed merchandise. The merchant area provides fans with the perfect opportunity to take home memorable keepsakes while supporting local artists and sellers.

Legends Events CDO has plans to hold other cosplay events throughout the year, such as Legends Cosplay Fair and Legends Con. Watch out for more details about the upcoming events!
