00:00In the youth of the Philippines, it is required to be a superhero.
00:06How about you, Susan Migs?
00:08If you were to have powers, what would you choose?
00:10Migs first.
00:11For me, I would be able to know what my partner is thinking.
00:15Why do you want to prioritize both of us?
00:17Sorry, I didn't get it.
00:18Okay, you go first, Ms. Sue.
00:19Of course, ladies first.
00:20For me, I want to be able to read what the other person is thinking.
00:24So that we can all sit together.
00:26So that I can know, how are you?
00:28I want to be able to read what the other person is thinking.
00:31Those two.
00:35We're the same.
00:36We're the same.
00:37That's how it is.
00:39Those are the superpowers.
00:41But you know, Mr. Kim, love and affection for superheroes
00:45became a way for a fan to open up and have their own collection.
00:49Let's get to know the story of Mark Salazar.
00:53Good, right?
00:54Let's finish this!
00:56From cool fights,
00:58costumes and effects,
01:01and being idolized by kids,
01:04Filipino superheroes in television and movies
01:08will never be left out.
01:10That's why the certified superfan, Josh,
01:14is fond of making Filipino superhero action figures.
01:18He says he can make up to 100 pieces.
01:24Dentist by profession,
01:26Josh is 37 years old.
01:28He admitted that he's addicted to superhero toys.
01:32My first exposure was from the 4-in-1s.
01:35As I grew older,
01:36that's when I started to appreciate the story behind the superheroes.
01:40That's when my love for superhero media started to deepen.
01:45How would you say?
01:46Connecting that superhero that I watched would be through toys.
01:50Since 2009,
01:51Josh has been collecting action figures of his favorite characters.
01:56One day, the price reached Php 12,000.
02:01When I graduated college,
02:03it's my own earnings.
02:06Sometimes, I'll just buy a piece.
02:09Before, I just watched it.
02:10Now, I'm holding it as an action figure.
02:15From foreign superheroes,
02:18From foreign superheroes,
02:20you also heard from Josh
02:21that he supports superhero and fantasy series characters in the country.
02:26To show his support,
02:28Josh customized toys from the videos he watched online.
02:34He taught himself how to make an action figure
02:38that is popular with local superheroes.
02:41He uses his own collection of action figures
02:45to make new characters.
02:49I don't have any knowledge on painting.
02:52As long as I bought acrylic paint,
02:54a little dab on the toy.
02:55Along the way,
02:56my proper ways like sanding and dismantling.
03:00Since the beginning of 2020,
03:02Josh has made more than 100 characters.
03:07Like Sangre in Encantadia,
03:10Lolong,
03:11and Super Twins.
03:13His costumes,
03:14even the smallest details,
03:16are really exquisite.
03:18My favorite series made by Seven.
03:23This is the second version of Agilus that I made.
03:26I'm not yet happy because there's something missing.
03:29A few years later,
03:31this is it,
03:32which is more beautiful.
03:33And I'm happier with it.
03:36It was made during the Japanese occupation.
03:39Black and white type
03:40that came out in the newspapers at that time.
03:42He's Ipo-Ipo.
03:45Josh will show us how he makes an action figure.
03:49For example, this is his body.
03:51I will look for a close-up body.
03:54We will remove the parts on the feet.
03:56Just stretch it.
03:57This is called a potty.
03:59Epoxy potty.
04:00We just need enough
04:02to cover the parts that we need to cover.
04:06I just spread it.
04:07It's not scaly anymore.
04:08Especially if it's painted.
04:10I put an emblem in front of it.
04:12I don't spray paint.
04:14Because if you spray paint,
04:15you can't control where to put your arm.
04:17It has a lot of lines on the body.
04:19What I did was,
04:20we just put a yarn.
04:21This takes about one week to two weeks
04:23for me to finish a design.
04:26Especially if the costume of the character is that detailed.
04:30Josh doesn't sell his toys,
04:33but he accepts donations.
04:36One of the works of Josh
04:38is the action figure of the character of Kapuso,
04:40a primetime action hero,
04:42Ruru Madrid,
04:43who is Black Rider.
04:45This is Black Rider.
04:47His personal work was given
04:50and shown to Ruru.
04:52I was not expecting to meet him in person.
04:54I was really starstruck when I saw him.
04:57For the sociology instructor,
04:59Michael John Labog,
05:01local superheroes or characters are important.
05:04Because it reflects the culture and situation of the country.
05:08People can relate to each other
05:10through their looks,
05:13the costumes they wear,
05:15in terms of culture,
05:17in terms of setting.
05:19They serve as role models
05:21of the Filipino values
05:23that we value.
05:26Josh's works
05:28bring back many memories
05:30of young people who were inspired
05:32by Filipino superheroes.
05:35I am Mark Salazar
05:37and that is the story
05:39you should know.
