TOY HUNTING in TOKYO with JAPANESE PRODUCTION DESIGNER @ NAKANO BROADWAY PART 2

[@alonsourbanos]

ooooh the best Cryptopsy at the end!? YES!

[@v-tamer9064]

That outro with Mr. DNA was amazing!

[@KajiRider1997]

17:44 I LOVE the casshern movie. Especially the ending with that music. Only gripe I had was him not wearing the damn helmet. The Tatsunoko movies went down hill with the Yatterman and Hurricane Polymar movies

[@getter38]

The ending is like taking a great video to a whole new level.

[@garethbray9017]

These episodes are getting better and better

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

I'm happy to hear that. Thank you 🙇‍♂

[@muttrogers6586]

Dude, thanks for another great one! I always get such a kick out of learning about all these stories, shows, characters, and toys.

[@gregdmnt]

Yeah! Thank you for this great new video. I loved the stories and the way you took us on this toy hunting trip... as usual!

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

Thank you!! PART 3 should be dropping within the next couple of hours!!

Great video. Loved the Robocop reference.

[@ShyGuyPal102]

that was fantastic! I want that Shield Liger keychain too! you gave me a good laugh out of the Robocop cut-aways haha!

[@RonaldoSanchez-g1y]

So much appreciate for the people who designed and created my childhood treasures! Are there toy workshops for tourists?

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

I used to run a toy hunting tour through Air BnB - but not anymore. But I do believe you can visit places like Bandai's HQ in Asakusa, etc

[@popculturehero]

I like that there are these quiet shops to treasure hunt for toys. Great way to spend an afternoon especially with friends that appreciate the artistry of toys.

[@ambassador724]

Man it's so rad you have a small circle right there in Japan. That's great.

[@robbieb7447]

I would be browsing a lot of toku books in that bookstore. 😍 Winspector is great but my favorite metal hero is Space Sheriff Shaider since it's my childhood hero show. Can't wait to see part 3. Will it be showing Ken's cafe and his collection?

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

Mine is actually JIBAN, but we wanted to talk about Winspector since Ken was involved with that sausage commercial 😅 I not got fully invested in Gavan & Shaider, but they are awesome for sure! To answer you question, we will actually travel to Ken’s studio workshop in the final part of the video, and get a behind the scenes look at some of Ken’s latest toy sculptures and prototypes 😊

[@robbieb7447]

@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI looking forward to that. So that's why he has a miyagi mini figure. Hehe. Anyway, thanks for the new info on those metal heroes keshi. Didn't expect they were omake toys for sausages. 😅

[@monikaviktoria2170]

Out of curiosity do you remember which floor the perfume shop is on? Is it basically pop-culture branded packaging? I've never spotted that on previous trips!

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

it is a very narrow shop in the very back of the 3rd floor, right around the corner from Hakaba Gallery. All the perfume is Japanese anime and pop culture branded. Hope that helps ya find it next time!

[@monikaviktoria2170]

@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI thanks so much! Travelling in 2 weeks, have a show of my art in a little sofubi shop in Nakano, so adding all the cool new things to our itinerary that I don't want to miss!

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

oh cool! which shop? unfortunately I'll be visiting the usa in 2 weeks (for a couple weeks) @@monikaviktoria2170

[@monikaviktoria2170]

@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI The Wanda Shop in Nakano, it ends on Oct 1st so you might miss it, but it's a cute shop to check out nonetheless!

[@beartrapinuwuland]

Do the character perfumes actually have a smell based on the character or is it just normal prefume with a nice box and bottle?

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

...that I honestly don't know? @MrPieman2 - do you know how that works?

[@MrPieman2]

It's hard to say they're "based" on the characters, but they all have unique smells. I would imagine most of these characters would actually smell like sweat.

[@beartrapinuwuland]

@@MrPieman2 Thank you for the info

[@iamtheai2759]

It’s all gone now. No more Nakano Mandarake.

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

Are you talking about Sun Plaza? The neighboring building. That is the one being demolished, not Broadway. I was just there less than a week ago (and this video was just filmed a few weeks ago).

[@iamtheai2759]

@@TOKYOTOYBANZAI really? Heard different, last Tuesday was Mandarakes last day…heard a few places, but maybe wrong?

[@TOKYOTOYBANZAI]

yeah, not sure what you heard - but they must have meant SunPlaza or been confused. Mandarake even expanded one of their shops last week at Nakano. So quite the opposite.
