Re: Japan is happy, but Mandarake will ruin your life

Sato-chan. He's the mascot for a large pharmaceutical company, Sato.

i bought a big bag of satochan stuff at mandarake!

Some of that Sato Chan bag came to my house!

 

Re: Japan is happy, but Mandarake will ruin your life

yeah sato and satoko chan are so great! they have made so many things with those 2 mascots. I thought this was pretty cool

 

personally, i've always found shibuya mandarake to be the best by far.

Thats a nice BXH cap you scored!

 

I was about to say the same thing JAY! nice scores adam and that in-store bxh pic is classic.

 

Cool photo's. I was out there last spring 08'. The peeps at BxH seemed pretty cool to me(and i have not tatoo's). The problem i had with BxH and SB was that if your not there on release days, the vinyl is pretty ltd, as all the good bits have long sold out. Scored some wicked T's though.

I preferred Mandarake Shibuya as well(apart from the stairs), but Nakano Broadway has so much more that just the Mandarake shops. Plus, alot of the time, the good stuff in Mandarake is'nt for sale. In Mandarake Shibuya, i saw a Kaws companion box being passed over the counter between two members of staff. When i enquired about it, the guy just shook his head and said "no sale". Oh well, someone obviously beat me to it.

 

I tried to convince the guys to hook me up with the venom kun,but no dice ..oh vell

 

Definitely. And not only because of the awesome indian place across the street.

 

the camo hat is sweet

 

That trip looked awesome, BxH store sounds just like Comm hahahaha.

 

Sato-chan!!! Hahaha...I will probably do the same thing and buy a bunch of Sato-chan toys.

 

Im trying to hunt down one of those leopard/camo hats too no avail, cripes!

 

very nice pick ups - u.s. toys booska so cute!!! love that burly round sculpt.
great to see u are still after advertisement figures ...pink & orange sato-chan set rocks.

 

It's wierd that so many people like the shibuya mandarake the best, as to me i liked it the least. In tokyo i had the most luck at the akiba mandarake. But the hidden gem for me was the Nagoya mandarake. That place was loaded. Probably because people dont typically go to nagoya to hunt toys.

 

My personal favorite was the Mandarake Akihabara.

Nakano was cool to see, but I didn't find much. Shibuya was cool with the cave theme, but didn't have a whole lot when I was there.

 

I forgot about the shibuya one..damnit

 

Agreed. I found the best stuff at Nagoya Mandarake as well.

I wish I had more Sato chan. Those minis are rad. Defiitely buying more Sato chan when I get back.
