that was a great shop. i snoozed like a fool on a cheap condorman talker there, i blame being to hungry to think clearly that day, and running late for the thrashout opening. luckily, one found its way to my shelf anyway.

the name of the shop is on the door in the video....

that's the rumor that I've been hearing from various people. Maybe someone can ask the owner and confirm what's going on. I'd hate to see it close and just be an online retailer.

I got my giant sized unpainted flesh Baragon from Ichiban Boshi...along with other stuff. I bought enough that the owner threw in an unpainted flesh M1go Frankenstein for free. Freebie aside, it is a really cool shop and one of the deadlier trips to make. You go from Nakano to Thrashout to CoCo (to eat) and then Ichiban Boshi. I got there a little early so I walked around the hood for a bit. Nice area.

Man...I bought a few vintage pieces there, and got a pic with the big Ultraman. I sure hope they don't close...

Hahaha...I was just too lazy to type out the whole word.

So yeah....if anyone heads out there, can they ask about the state of the store? It really is a cool little shop and I let the owner know with what little Japanese I could speak. I found some really nice gems there:

Mazinger Z + Garada set by Marmit

Giant Baragon, regular Baragon, GID Gomess

it is. andy had a painted one for sale for the longest time. i would have bought it but i've been pinching my pockets lately to save up for another trip. i love the US Toys sculpts because of how comical they are.

They're not closing closing.
You'll be fine if they're just doing online in the future.

No...it'll suck. Sorry, but there is no substitute for actually being able to go into these shops...
