Great video. I wish to visit Japan some day coz I would love to see their toy shops since I am a big fan of collecting Japanese & American toys for as far as I can remember
hello I saw the video where you travel with madhunter to Japan and recommended your channel of vintage Japanese figures you are a great person solves and hugs from Chile
When did you choose to live in Japan,I know everyone has a different story from the JETProgram teaching English or just living there because they married one from the country. I've been in awe by Japanese Hobby Stores for years when I was a bit younger I watched a RUclipsr named TokyoJosh who really got me exposed to the true beauty of this unique island nation. Sadly,Josh wiped his channel clean witch is a shame but with channels like you and channels like KidShoryuken shows me the beauty in Japanese hobby shops.
I first visited Japan in 2003, but I didn't move here until 2005. Initially I came here to work as an apprentice/assistant for a manga studio. I actually did a video about it last year: ruclips.net/video/aBgQz1Pvq5I/видео.html
Mandarake is usually pretty fair, and you can find great deals in some of the other side shops... but of course there are still hidden tourist traps within Broadway as well, usually located near the entrances of the first few floors... just have to keep a record of prices and hold off on buying until you've searched every nook for a better deal.
I saw at least 4 bags of keshi I would have bought. Those two full of cars and vehicles especially! lol What were the large boxes at 16:00 for 800 yen?
Sorry for the late reply Chris! Just seeing this comment! Those were vintage "Deluxe" DBZ Board games that came with keshi characters and lots of little accessories used for the games... they were initially from my collection, but I sold them to Mandarake after claiming the keshi, which is why they were so cheap.
Hello, I saw you on two Latin American RUclips Channels, Mad Hunter and Japan Geek, already and I think you have a great vibe and you know a lot about toys, perhaps it is my perspective but no talking feels weird, at least to me, there are many toys I do not know about and would be interesting hearing you talking about them, and if they are valuable or important to know why, it is cool sometimes RUclipsrs just let us listen the background sounds and so, but to me at least was too much of only watching, which was good, but perhaps I am not used to, and love to learn more about the toys from your experience! This time I have not heard your voice so similar to Edward Norton’s 🤟🏼😉. Regards
Hi Sergio! Thanks for the insight! I've done a few different versions of these hunting videos, some where I talk a lot, some where I just use the sound of the shops, or some where I used edited music. Everyone likes different aspects of each. If I am only filming something that I know a lot about, I will speak, however in large places like Nakano, unless I am making a specific video about one type of item there, there is just too much to talk about, so it's just for the atmosphere and eye candy. I try to do a few videos every month on specific toy lines and give as much information as possible. I like to keep it all an interesting variety of video styles and I'm glad that you are able to enjoy aspects of each and offer your opinions! It's invaluable information for me :) Thank you!!
My kids have some Doraemon toys, but not really my thing. I've already got several other things that I collect. Maybe someday in the future my kids will start their own vintage Doraemon collections :P
To my knowledge a piece of vintage is older than 12 years but it different to the age of the person so for me it would mean 57 years old is vintage for a 20 year old 32
Haha, might have been the same actor? He's on Facebook, maybe we should ask him! I'm sure he did modeling for products too here in Japan around that time.
If you look hard enough and have a wide range of things to collect, you can find some cheap stuff even at Akihabara... but yeah, Nakano has the best selection (outside of sofubi, which now goes to Mandarake Cocoo in Akihabara).
That Biollante (1991 Bandai Bio-Biollante) isn't too hard to find here. They usually pop up for around 10,000yen ($100) loose, or 15,000 ($150) in box.
Great video. Loved seeing Nakano Broadway. A must visit place when visiting Tokyo. It’s usually my 1st stop...

Instablaster...
Your making me jealous. Not long now until we will be back visiting Tokyo!
Can't wait to hang out and hunt with ya again man!
would love to see more Keshi and Kinnikuman vids :) great video by the way
I've got a few keshi videos up, and some "junkbag" videos that contain Kinnikuman. Will definitely do more in the future!
Loving your hunt from Mexico City, keep it up!
I reconize that character at 2:10! That's Cyborge 009!

@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI Oh way cool dude :D I bet that was a dream come true
I wonder why he deleted his channel
@@ultimate-x9720 Me too
Is buying there worth it? Like is the price for each item too fair or no?

Awesome video. I want that Robocop tin toy so bad!!!
Thanks! And yeah, some of those tin toys are rad!
OMG, I actually had that toy at 3:50. The blue/red dragon robot.
I saw at least 4 bags of keshi I would have bought. Those two full of cars and vehicles especially! lol

Awesome! Greetings from Brazil!

I’m having a panic attack from seeing those Doraemon toys, You should totally start up a collection if you want.
My kids have some Doraemon toys, but not really my thing. I've already got several other things that I collect. Maybe someday in the future my kids will start their own vintage Doraemon collections :P
i guess the mandarake store clerk love bish cause they playing it all over the shop hahahaha
More videos like this with vintage Sofubi and the sale prices. ✅👍
I've made many :) More to come!
@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI Thank you on behalf of all Sofubi collectors! ✅😊🙏
To my knowledge a piece of vintage is older than 12 years but it different to the age of the person so for me it would mean 57 years old is vintage for a 20 year old 32
Yo at 20:45 is that one of the Futurian dudes from Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah??
Haha, might have been the same actor? He's on Facebook, maybe we should ask him! I'm sure he did modeling for products too here in Japan around that time.
I like the keshi grab bags! Nothing cheap to buy at Mandrake (Akiharbara)
If you look hard enough and have a wide range of things to collect, you can find some cheap stuff even at Akihabara... but yeah, Nakano has the best selection (outside of sofubi, which now goes to Mandarake Cocoo in Akihabara).
That biollante at 21:42 is one I’ve been after for a while. Did you happen to see the price of it?
That Biollante (1991 Bandai Bio-Biollante) isn't too hard to find here. They usually pop up for around 10,000yen ($100) loose, or 15,000 ($150) in box.
I wouldn't call it vintage but nearly a between antique and vintage 😊
Between 50 and 59 is called a quinquagenarian
Vittoria
80 to 89 a octogenarian and 90 to 99 a nonagenarian and from 100 and above a antique
70 and 79 is a septuagenarian
Sole tutto sole
no monchichi boooo
60 to 69 is a sexagenarian

Love it but look at all the non biodegradable plastics this is why mother Earth is dying
Mother Earth could end us all in seconds, she will be here long after us. Also, collectors help to keep plastics out of nature 😉
