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
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!
SUBSCRIBED! EPIC and so much pure radness and joy
I love kaiju goodies!!! Godzilla is my #1
Great video
That intro is spot on!!

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.
Awesome! I saw the ultraman at the Chicago toy show
So glad I found this Channel! You're from not far where I am 👍
Great video! There's nothing like a Japanese toy shop!!
Great video fam! This is gonna be of big help to all the collectors for sure

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.

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.

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!

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?
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

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). 😅😅😅
