The ultimate destination for collectors and enthusiasts, the Collectibles, Hobbies & Vintage Finds Expo (CHVF 2025), is set to open its doors from October 9 to 11 at the SMX Convention Center Manila. The three-day event promises a vibrant showcase of rare treasures, a celebration of community, and a journey into nostalgia for hobbyists of all stripes.
The expo is poised to be a haven for rediscovering passions, featuring everything from classic collectors’ toys and action figures to vintage memorabilia and historically significant pieces. Visitors can look forward to marveling at prized automobiles and other “toys for the big boys.”
Exclusive Highlights and Collaborations
CHVF 2025 will host the exclusive launch of “More than Memories,” a book by Crispin Go detailing a collector’s extraordinary journey. A major artistic draw is the “METAL + MECHA” collaboration, which merges the talents of renowned toy designer QUICCS and luxury steampunk sculptor Ram Mallari Jr. in a unique fusion of art and pop culture.
Beyond the exhibits, the expo offers a full slate of workshops, live tutorials, and hobby-focused activities.
