Short Toy Hunting Trip in Osaka (Part 1)

Had an opportunity to go on a short toy hunting trip in Osaka (and for food as well of course!)
Probably my first toy hunting trip in Osaka, so had to use the guide on my good friend, Heroic Decepticon's blog.
Took some photos to complement his explanation on "How to get there"…so this is not a comprehensive guide, just some additional pictures and short explanation…go read his guide first and come here for the pictures which he didn't put up…go go go

This is the picture of the big Taito signage/building. you cannot miss it after you come out of takashimaya and pass the Muji/tower records building…walk into the road between the Taito building and the building with the orange Daiso "D.D Square" signage and you will come to….

the beige neo-classical syle 6-7 story building which was mentioned….turn right and walk down the road and you will get to….

Entertainment Jungle!

Another view of the shop front from opposite side of the road (DenDen Town)

I'm there only for G1 Transformers, so i will show only the G1s which is located at the second floor of Jungle…And do note that these are what they have as of early September 2015 when i was there...

Loose Lucky draw Movie Optimus Prime, seriously i don't know which version this is…but it's really nice...






Next up, Hero Gangu…from Jungle, walk pass Hotel Hillarys and you will see Hero Gangu…yes, its that easy and less than 2 minutes walk...

see? Hero Gangu is just next to Hotel Hillarys with just a road in between...

Similar to Jungle, the Transformers stuffs are on the second floor…
Hero Gangu has not only toys but other collectibles as well…like Laser Discs, DVDs, books and comics, you just need to ask them and they will reveal their "hidden" stash…


1984 goodness…too bad the boxes for the cars are in a bad condition...

Decepticons...

some stuffs "hidden" at the top of the shelves...



there's this PVC Unicron and its prototype….looks cool but not for sale…not to mention the mail away Ratchet too….

that's all for part 1….the Osaka Mandarakes in part 2...
