Japanese retro toys
… in Mandarake in Akihabara. Most of the toys are retro, some are not. Man, I had quite a good few of these toys when I was a kid. Wish I kept them.
That was what Doraemon originally looked like in the comics.
Lots of robos. My kinda toy when I was young.
“Transformers, robots in disguise. Transformers, more than meets the eye”. Had quite a few of these too.
Had this too. The white part was white to begin with then it turned stale yellow.
Had some big large plastic robos too but I don’t think they were quite the same as these.
Always loved Japanese packaging. They’re so bright and vivid compared with what we usually get in UK (back then).
Look at these character designs. Now can you understand why I never liked nor saw Star Wars?
Outfits from the anime, Jin-Roh.
Most of the retro stuff here are in pretty good condition and demand a very high price tag.
Had both robos in the top left. Same robos but not the same figures.
Masked Riders/Ultra-man type of characters.
Love the ugly monster villians. They’re so… weirdly cute.
Small plastic, non-painted figures were never my kinda thang~
Parman! From the creators of Doraemon, Q-Taro, Ninja Hattori-Kun and Kaibutsu-Kun, to name a few.
This is newly released: Transformers Mickey. Looks pretty decent! Yes, it does transform.
Space Channel 5, part 1 and 2. One of my all time fav games. The styling of the graphics is simply fantastic! I have both 1 and 2 on both the Sega Dreamcast (I still have one and intend to keep it forever) and PS2. Heck, I even have the 3 original soundtrack CDs! “Up, down, up, down, chu, chu, chu!”
