Oh I'm so going there in the spring. You got an address for the place, Ed?
I was squinting, trying to make out some prices. The only ones I could decipher is some of the Chogokin price tags. Some of those look pretty steep, but I'm a bit out of touch on the Chogo market these days.
And it's so frustrating to see that the only Jumbos they seem to have are the US Mattel ones. Why???
Edit: Holy crap, I just noticed that in the far right of the Star Wars shot, there seems to be some boxed Lili Ledy 12" figs among all the modern stuff.Last edited by cjefferys; Dec 6, '11, 11:17 AM.Comment

I found a forum with more pics. Seems to be owned by Hot Toys and located in the trendy Shinjuku district. It looks as much museum as toy shop. Very classy looking place.

The wife is heading to Tokyo this upcoming weekend for business, and I am hoping that between all her negotiations, she can shrug off her handlers long enough to head to Shinjiku to visit Toy Sapians. (if so, I'll definitely pass on the address to you)Comment

Regarding prices, zooming in, the carded Kenner Indiana jones is 25,000¥, so according to xe.com that is $321.62. A far cry from the days a decade ago when all you had to do was lop off the two zeroes at the end.
Shinjiku rent is obviously very high!!!
Looking at the amount of showroom space they have, it puts the Hot Toys showroom in Hong Kong, Toy Hunters, to shame. That place is like a closet compared to Toy Sapians.
