this is really interesting, I get the feeling that in Japan collecting Godzilla is a hobby in its own right., great enjoyable vid again, thanks for sharing.
Yeah, collecting kaiju toys and goods goes back to the 1950s here. There are some great tin toy Godzilla figures from that era. But to have companies dedicate themselves to the genre is great. Wish these types of figures were available to me when I was a kid. Thanks for checking it out!
@@ParrotsAccount they (Godzilla Store) don’t carry the MonsterArts stuff. Not sure what goes into the reasons they do or do not carry stuff. Same with X-Plus stuff.
Found this store by accident last week when visiting Surugaya in Shinjuku. I'm not a big Godzilla guy. Love the character, grew up watching some of the old school movies, but know very little about Godzilla lore. Still, I really want the S.H. Figuarts Godzilla Minus One figure. They are selling for silly prices on Mercari, though.
They do not. I don’t recall seeing any Hiya figures on the shelf anywhere in Tokyo. I get mine from online sellers who sell them straight from China/HK. The prices are usually the same or a little lower than Big Bad Toy Store sells for.
All of them? Probably not but some will be. The ones there now, aside from the store exclusives which came out in November and February, the other ones have been there for a bit I think.
Shops? Go to the Tamashii Nations store in Akihabara for MonsterArts. Also, in Akihabara, hit up Jungle, Mandarake, Yellow Submarine in Radio Kaikan, and Uchusen also in RK
Fun Fact: I been there with my dad in early 2020. I was 12, such a great holiday. My dad used to live in Japan for seven years. He showed me he’s life there, where he used to live, and crazy stories. He even met killer whale and almost become a was.

Very cool shop tour. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
God, this is *amazing*. It's like... my adult version of Toys R Us. Shopping spree, anyone? 😅
Yeah there’s some great stuff everywhere you look.
Can’t lie I’m kind of disappointed. They have a bunch of figures and statues such as S.H. Monsterarts but are deciding not to sell them? That’s crazy.
Other than that it looks super cool even if you’re not buying anything.

As a foreigner not living in Japan, it's sad we don't see such Godzilla merchandise available in Ebay,.
I’ll have some Godzilla footage from Tokyo Comic Con up later today (Saturday)
hehe, love to see that there is still merch of the Hamtaro collaboration
Have you been to this shop before?
@@KaijuDaddyJapan sadly no, I just like to see that it is still around in general, I am still saving money to go to Japan one day
Keep saving! Great experience.

I’ve been sick for days with the flu which has kept me from getting it. Very disappointed.
I REALLY WANNNA GO
Put it on the list
I want to go to but I need to learn Japanese first
Not necessary!!
Do you know if they sell Hiya figures there? If not, do you know where I can find some in Tokyo?
They do not. I don’t recall seeing any Hiya figures on the shelf anywhere in Tokyo. I get mine from online sellers who sell them straight from China/HK. The prices are usually the same or a little lower than Big Bad Toy Store sells for.
SO MANY HEDORAH AAAA
Seems to be a favorite of the store
@@KaijuDaddyJapan you think the hedorahs will still be there in fall? Thats when i come back.
All of them? Probably not but some will be. The ones there now, aside from the store exclusives which came out in November and February, the other ones have been there for a bit I think.
Do they sell any SH or HIYA Godzilla figure?
No they don’t. I’ve only seen HIYA in a few shops here. SHM is pretty easy to find all around Tokyo
@@KaijuDaddyJapan can I get names?
Shops? Go to the Tamashii Nations store in Akihabara for MonsterArts. Also, in Akihabara, hit up Jungle, Mandarake, Yellow Submarine in Radio Kaikan, and Uchusen also in RK
Nakano Broadway has a bunch of shops you can check out. Walk around the complex.
Did you by any chance see any blu-rays on sale in the store?
No. No blurays at all
They dont sell those xplus statues right?
I don’t recall ever seeing them here but I believe they do on their website.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan aww
..thank you anyways though
There are other shops where you can get plus statues in Tokyo
YESSSSSS!!!!!!
Haha yes perfect place for you

Tokyo has given us sooooooo many stories. Greatest city in the world.
@@KaijuDaddyJapan Have u seen the Mafia? Have they been to the Godzilla store? 🤣
