Tokyo Store Recommendations
Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2015 11:39 am
Hey All,
I'm going to be visiting Tokyo for the first time between September and October this year and intend to do some serious shopping! My first priority is to shop for vintage, mostly Henshin Cyborg, Microman, Timanic, Astro Mu 5. Also anything related like Secret Base or Charactics vinyls, costumes, or heads (Robotman for Henshin Cyborg). Or even Marmit's "Buster Vanks Dai" series designed by Yasushi Nirasawa. Thanks to Super 7's "Tokyo Underground" book and the internets, I have an overwhelming number of places to visit. To anyone thats been to Tokyo recently, are there any specific shops that you could recommend that specialize in these toys? So far, I've found two that might be the most likely...
Toys Goldenage (Akihabara)

Toy Cats (Kichijoji)
