Love the Cyborg pics! I also had the Kamen Rider vinyl figure in pic. I bought it from an antique mall near Six Flaggs. I always wondered if someone stayed in a nearby hotel and left them behind.

Henshin Cyborg. 12"

Some examples from a place called Gojira-ya that is quite literally a hole in the wall under some train tracks.

Did you guys make it to Forest Gangu? Are they still a major player?

[Blue Meanie]

How much was the Combat Joe Godzilla and was it a first issue or second issue? I think my friend bought the second issue one back around 2001 or 2002. I told him he was nuts...but then when he brought it in to show my I was like...I gotta have one. I think he paid well over $200 for his. Any Toys McCoy stuff?

First issue. the one in Nakano was $250 IIRC? The one at Gojira-ya was more, but I can't remember how much more off the top of my head. Chris probably remembers. On my fourth trip to Nakano, it was gone.

Takara's Combat Joe Godzilla suits were from 1984. There were two versions, a standard (ST) version with just the outfit and a deluxe (DX) version that included a Combat Joe body and extra Godzilla head. The versions we saw were the deluxe versions, one was around $300 and the other around $250. The versions released in the 2000's were not Takara but Medicom figures (which included what they called the "new" Combat Joe bodies). They made several different versions (including 1954, 1962 and 1964 Goji outfits).

We did see a Toys McCoy 12" Steve McQueen and Indy Jones. I forget the prices, but Ed probably has some pics of them which might show the price tags.

Loving the pictures! Did you guys come across a store exclusive toyline (I think they are based off maybe the Chinese Zodiac?), and you can interchange parts like Assemble Borg? They come in plastic sealed bags with an insert, but there was a table/ tray with various parts you could try out. I tried to find info. online but came up with nothing.
Did anything "modern" grab your attention?

Wow! This combined with your Facebook pics make me want to hop on a plane! Glad you guys are enjoying your trip. I know you've been there before and have connections there, but I hope you're enjoying some non-toy stuff, too. Travel is such a wonderful experience.

I want that McQueen Great Escape figure...but it's way beyond my budget for figures. Back in the day when they came out they were in the $200 - $300 range. I can just imagine what they might be today. Toys McCoy were definitely the Hot Toys of their day. I remember the horse for Indiana Jones was in that $200 range. Surprised that no one has done a Mego scale McQueen head/likeness
