I visited quite a lot of toy / anime shops throughout my December 2022 Japan journey. Whereas I noticed loads of merchandise I might like to have, a few of it was onerous to search out, a few of it was bought out, and a few was simply plain costly. I did decide up a couple of figures / toys once I was there although. Under are a few of my acquisitions.
 |
| These are Rement, blind field, buying and selling figures. It’s the Bonsai2 collection of Pokemon mini-dioramas primarily based across the idea of a potted Bonsai tree/plant. I assumed it included Pokemon into a conventional Japanese presentation very properly. |
 |
| You should purchase a whole field – about $50 (so it is not low cost), however then you might be assured to get all the set if the field has by no means been opened. You’ll be able to test the seals on the field to see if it has been opened or not. |
 |
| This is what one of many assembled figures appears like subsequent to the containers. There may be often some meeting required (no glue wanted). There have been six attainable figures. I am going to in all probability do publish on the set later. |
When shopping for toys or figures in Japan you’ll discover that the costs might be fairly costly. Generally you could find second hand variations cheaper (particularly for claw machine figures from UFO catchers). Locations like AMIAMI, Liberty 7, and many others. Generally, the second hand figures are available in containers which have by no means been opened! Shopping for the small blind field figures is usually a extra reasonably priced choice should you like figures as $50 is affordable for a field of figures with a standard theme of a present or sport.
 |
| Aegis posable mini-figure from Persona 3. This was the primary Persona sport I performed on the PS2 and she or he’s my favorite android! Nothing like a minigun extension to blast some monsters. |
 |
| Again of the Desktop Military field. |
 |
| ROBOT Facet MS, The Robotic Spirits, mini-Gundam figures. These are small, posable Gundams that include numerous equipment. They’re tiny although, sort of like 1/10 scale human determine or sub 1/144 mannequin measurement. The element is de facto good on them although. This one is a RX-78F00 unique to Yokohama Gundam Manufacturing facility. |
 |
| Again of the RX-78F00 field. |
 |
| I’ve one other mini-Gundam of a GP02, of the identical scale, to point out you ways huge the figures are in comparison with the field. |
I might have purchased a few Nendoroid figures too whereas I used to be there, however these have been solely pre-order on the time. Chisato and Takina have been from the hit present Lycoris Recoil that aired in 2022. These figures are $50 every and small and transportable if you will convey figures again.
 |
| Chibi Takina Inoue. |
 |
| Chibi Chisato Nishikigi. |
 |
| Gundam, Witch From Mercury, was a improbable Gundam collection from 2022 to 2023. I needed to get this HG 1/144 Gundam Aerial mannequin package, however it was bought out in all places! I ended up ordering this on-line after my journey. |
 |
| Parts of the Aerial mannequin package. |
I additionally discovered a SH Figuarts determine of Nozomi Tojo from the unique Love Reside! collection. This present is fairly outdated by anime requirements now – sort of like the unique Precure Black and White. The merchandise for them is on the market used, however is difficult to search out as there’s not a lot of it. Generally, on-line is the best way to go when looking out!
 |
| Nozomi Tojo determine. My favorite Love Reside! character. |
 |
| Again of the Nozomi field. |
 |
| Lastly, right here is among the small Pokemon plushies I picked up over there. Moo Moo Milk anybody? |
That is just about it for chunk of the merchandise. I additionally picked up some acryllic standups and coasters together with a couple of different issues like artwork books. Books are one of many issues that you just would possibly need to get there if you could find it. Amazon.co.jp can also be supply that I do not use as I actually dislike delivery issues by courier. You at all times get dinged on responsibility and brokerage charges plus the costly delivery.
