There aren’t any popular toy shops that I could find except for Mandarake. Can always trust them to be around. Mandarake is not too far from Tenjin Station, about 5 – 10 min walk. Where the main shopping area in Fukuoka is. There is a [...]

Though I feel Tokyo’s Akihabara has a better edge and more variety of toy shops. One of the better places to visit is Herogangu.com. It’s at the corner of the block as in the picture above. The shop has [...]

Not sure if I will be opening them soon. But I just love the collar pins that the folks from Falcon’s Hanger passed to me when I collected the sets. Awesome stuff!

Managed to score a few things. Best of which was the rare Marvel Universe variants I found hanging on a rack in some toy shop! Got some nice 12′ inch stuff. Especially like the Crocs and Nike SB Dunk shoes. Can’t visit Japan without getting some Transformers. [...]

Bursting to the seems, but still with a bit of space for new stuff. But even with all the new shelf space, there isn’t enough space for all my toys, so some are displayed in special cases…… ……. or kept nicely in their boxes in my storage cupboards [...]

No point saying too much. I’ll let the pics do the talking.

A great looking gun deserves a tough guy to handle it. Perfect for Hot Toys T2 T800 Arnie.

Will go nicely with my T800 Arnie figure. Also got WST Ultra Magnus. Nice and small.

Iron Patriot with Norman Osborn’s head. It was the only one there. A good find!?aid=2653&cids=62&size=728×90″>

It looks the typical military figure, but with the STGCC logo on the box! The box cover is similar to the Man in Suit exclusive and is pretty flimsy. When you remove it, you see the usual Soldier Story type box, but without [...]
