The exact kind of content I was looking for, I'm also obsessed with toy collecting and pop culture (born in 1985) and I'd fucking love to hit up Japan soon to haul some gems like you. Cheers and much love from the Bay Area California!
WOw.. I'm also a toy collector from the Philippines. I collect Kamen Riders and finger puppets of Ultraman SuperSentai and also Kamen Rider , especially Kamen Rider Black. Man I envy you, hope that I can visit Japan too in the near future.
Just came across this series. Super interesting and really high quality. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just came from japan, and its sad as the gigantic mandarake in akihabara has been wiped of kaiju, the same with jungle. However i was to discover a new mandarake which opened last month also in akhihabara, where all the vintage kaiju have been moved.
Rhydon Dude and now you told everybody so it will be wiped soon... and the prices will increase. I don’t get people’s obsession with making videos telling the entire world about everything. That’s how you ruin things.
@@DisgruntledPigumon These things aren't really hidden.
Win a million dollars - I'd be on the first plane to Japan and just go sick inside those shops.
Hell ya
Hope can plan my Japan trip on my next year 2020 Birthday month~~~
Can only get all my Figures from hoyoyo Japan proxy now day...
I used to live in Daikanyama for work ( sneaker designer) in the early 2000's. The amount you see today is still great, but man there was so much more back 15-17 years ago before the internet killed so many of the mom and pop shops, and the prices back then, making me weep. Love the video... but man the first time I went there in 98' the it was just another level of insanity available.
Damn man I can only imagine!!
kore o misete kudasai. Please show that to me...in Japanese. Very useful phrase to know in Akihabara. I always pack a suitcase with clothes inside a much larger suitcase for souvenirs when I go to Japan.
One of the first phrases I learned, very useful in toy shops
Sick video - fucking awesome production! Looking forward to more
@SLIME HOUSE how did you manage to get it back? I'm allowed a max 30kg flying unless I send it via post which is gonna cost £284. Which will probably be slightly less than the cost of the contents.
Luckily we had two suitcase allowed each, so while there bought some huge zipper bags and all the clothes went on them and all the toys and valuables went in the hard suitcases
@@slimehousetv nice one man. I managed to send back two boxes via EMS shipping. My check in bag didn't weigh all that much but it was huge (a cheap suitcase bought in Akihabara). One of them has arrived. Fingers crossed the other one does too. I managed to get away with a large carry on bag for my clothes and everything else. It was tight haha.
@@safetyregulation nice one!!
Great video fam! This is gonna be of big help to all the collectors for sure
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed enjoyed :)
Wow some really super nice stuff. Thanks for sharing the experience. I'll make my way to Tokyo someday soon, now I know where to go :)
Great video! There's nothing like a Japanese toy shop!!
awesome channel, I'm definitely gonna be binge watching for a while lol.
one question, can you speak japanese? in some of the clips it shows the shopkeepers talking with you or is the language barrier not that big of an issue?
definitely want to visit Japan and give these shops a look
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoy the content! And I can speak a little, enough to get by but by no means fluent 😅😅✌️
@@slimehousetv ah I see, thank you for the response
I am in love with your videos of Japan. Great content and edition thanks for sharing! 👌🏻
Hey Theo what's up. I love Kaiju and Toy collecting too. I just got what I believe to be my holy grail figure. X-plus Mechagodzilla 74 Gigantic series 19.27" inches tall.
Great to hear man, thanks for watching 🤙🤙
@@slimehousetv do you have any x-plus figures or mostly bandai?
@@douggovostis5135 I pick them up from time to time but they are all mostly a little too contemporary for me and my super weird vintage needs 😅
@@slimehousetv how about the bullmark Godzilla 13 inch that was seen in godzilla vs. hedorah at the very beginning? that figure is sweet.
great channel and video! I love Ultraman Kaiju too and dedicate most of my collection to them!
Thank you for watching glad you are enjoying the videos!
That intro is spot on!!
Mister East thanks! Episode 2 is now up!
Ive been shopping with Mandarake online for my SIC Kamen Rider and always wondered what the shop looked like. I gotta say, it looks exactly how I thought it would, spot on! ANd it so true what you said about the tiny blemishes and it being reduced. I sometimes can't even tell the difference which gives more power to the buyer. Mandarake is awesome!
SUBSCRIBED! EPIC and so much pure radness and joy
Does anybody know what the black bug monster on the left side of the thumbnail is ?
Looking for Ultraman 40th Anniversary statue.
Hey man what shoes are you wearing? Those look nice!
Thanks yo! They are Supras dude, Pretty much always supras that I wear 👊👊👊
SLIME HOUSE gotcha! ;)
Thanks for putting this playlist together absolutely fantastic ♥ 🇯🇵
Thanks for all the comments on the videos man, really apriciate it and I'm happy you like my channel 👊👊👊
Hope to go next year to pick up some toys for my collection love the vintage.
Superb video. Planning a trip to Japan later this year. Is it just a case of buy another suitcase and pay extra at the airport?
"mutant shit" my exact thoughts , just racked a gang of sofubi at mandarake right now
Nicely presented. Straight to the facts and details. Just got into sofubi myself and this is a great resource.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it, there is a whole Tokyo toy hunting series on here so be sure to check it out :)
Im gonna need a lot of money to go to Japan... figures, food, and shipping the figures home lol.
Looks like toy heaven mate! Sorry a bit late to the party but when i saw you at NEC it reminded me to catch up on everything.
Thank you bro, still got a load more of these to drop too!
Awesome! I saw the ultraman at the Chicago toy show
Occams Laser works so fucking well with your videos, you should keep using his stuff Theo.
I am rather jelly about that Aliens vs Corp. Hicks Kenner set you got from Japan, I imagine that looks real fancy on full display. Are you keeping it boxed and sealed?
Louis B always keep stuff boxed if that's how I find it dude! Follow me on Instagram you can see all the stuff display! @theo_cane_slimehouse and yes Occam's is the best! Very lucky to always have him on board

Do you sell Slime House Tv shirts?
Haven't made any merch in a while, but I am currently speaking to a new printer so hopefully again real soon!
Did you have to have a second suitcase in the end?
I actually bought two big zipper bags and threw all the clothes in them, and field the suitcases with the precious stuff so it all came back nicely! Of you watch episode 04 of this series on here you can see how we got it all back :D
Banging. Japan's on the bucket list.
The video should focus more on toys and not you talking on a studio. Love lots.
Nice vid. What's the name of the Occams Laser track after the title music?
Stewart Allan tbh I'm.not sure dude but search his SoundCloud they are all on there!
It's called Brake Light. 🙂
Stewart Allan there ya go! ;)
Stewart Allan episode 2 is now up!
SLIME HOUSE nice one geezer!

Thanks apriciate it! Loads more to come if you enjoy the Tokyo stuff
nice!!!!
Thanks for watching :)
Don’t care too much for the toys, but you have such a good energy that watching your videos gives me life
Appreciate the comment! I always hoped that even if people are not necessarily into toys they can still get a kick out of my videos, so that means a lot
Otaku doesn’t mean geek or nerd. It means obsessed fan who has no social skills and generally lives with their elderly or overly protective parents. So when you call yourself an “Otaku” you’re not saying a good thing. As usual, people from other cultures get the meaning wrong, as wrong as the pronunciations (just as the Japanese do with English). 😅😅😅
Sounds like a nerd to me 🤣🤣🤣
Meh i expected a more natural vlog than a voice over. Dissapointed. You do you i guess. Not my thing. Makes it looks like a tv show
