Popy-Hunting in Japan

[mattytreks]

So I'll be heading to Japan within the next 12 months, and as a fan of both modern and vintage robots, I'd love to get your recommendations on the best vintage shops there (Tokyo in particular) to find Popy's -- ideally new-in-box or at least a used figure containing the original box.

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Here’s a link that should be helpful, many of these shops should still be there (hopefully)

Just came back from my recent trip to Japan.

If you are looking for vintage toys eg Popy, you can try the following places:

1)Jungle in Osaka - den den town.
2)Mandarake Grand Chaos - Osaka/Namba area
3)Mandarake Shibuya in Tokyo
4)Mandarake Complex in Akihabara/Tokyo
5)Toys Goldenage in Akihabara/Tokyo
6)Jungle and Robot Robot in Electric Town Akihabara (same building as amiami)
7)Various outlets of Mandarake at Nakano Broadway

Happy hunting!
