I'm wrapping up my week in Japan and... I've spent way too much money. Here's all the videogame-related junk I picked up...

(FLYNN: Don't scroll beyond the Miyazaki stuff if you don't want to know what Pikmin toy I'm bringing back for you)

Mandragora from Final Fantasy XI: (I actually won this in a weird arcade game where you have to slide a beer glass across a bar and stop it at the right place, sort of like a reverse "Tapper")

It's hard to see but this is a box with one of eight different miniatures from Namco games, but you don't know whether it's Dig Dug or Pac-Land until you buy and open it:

Stuffed toys from Animal Crossing (I picked up the last of these at the store)

Super Mario Bros diorama: (Only 3 bucks!)

Okay, non-game related but cool anyways: Gloomybears!

Of course, Miyazaki stuff:

Last but not least, sweet Pikmin 2 toys AKA Flynn's present:

Can anyone find a shop that would carry any of these online?

 

[olimario]

I want Pikmin 2 plushies so bad.

 

[rawk]

www.ufo-catcher.com

Oh, yeah, and www.ebay.com ... that's where I got my girlfriends 2 million Animal Crossing dolls.

 

[Draff]

Man, I wanted to get some Pikmin toys and I decided to wait since they were missing a few and then I never saw them again

Instead I just loaded up on a bunch of capsule toys.

And I want that Mario diorama.. now.

 

[Spike]

Nice Haul. I especially like that Pikmin thingy on the left.

 

[Memles]

I WANT the hamster/baby from Spirited Away...now.

I'm a stuffed animal freak to begin with, but that is too much.

 

[Mike]

Oli, check your PMs.

 

[Nester]

I want to get a Mario Bros Diorama. That would look nice on my desk at work.

 

[crawlingpeter]

that Mario Diorama is so awesome

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Yes, any place to get it online?

 

[BugCatcher]

I would like to know this too. Where did you buy it? How large is it?

 

[Memles]

Super Mario Diorama gave me nothing...then I read the top of the box, said Stage Figure, all is well.

so youre not guaranteed a certain model from there? you just randomly get 1 of the 6 possible dioramas? hmmm

 

[Nester]

The other 5 look pretty nice too, I think I'll take the gamble and order a few.

[Great Wasabi Man]

$5 for the mairo thing...cool much cheaper then what I paid for the Zelda:WW figures on ebay.

 

[Mike]

Yeah, like with a lot of toys here, the mario stage figure dioramas are random, so you don't know what you get until you open it. They cost 300 yen here, about 3 bucks, so you aren't getting ripped off too bad getting it online.

The dioramas are about 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall, approx.

 

[Flynn]

Mike,

I couldn't help but peek. Thanks a lot!!!

It looks like you guys are having an awesome time.

 

[Mike]

Haha, well I guess you were gonna find out in a few days anyway. I like the blue pikmin because he looks horrified.

 

[B'z-chan]

Is there any other FFXI merchandise beside the mini controler and clock? Cause i wouldnt mind picking that Onionhead up or a Rarab or something.

 

[Flynn]

teehee

It looks like you guys are having a great time.

What neighborhood did you get most of your toys in?

 

[Mike]

There was a great store in Ueno that had a lot of the famicom mini games, but I didn't wind up buying those. I bought the gloomybears and Miyazaki stuff there though. Most of these toys are from Hakuhinkan Toy Park in Ginza.

 

[Flynn]

Cool.

All neighborhoods I've never been to. Next time I go, I'll have some new places to check out.

Wasn't the Ghibli shop insane?

 

[bobbyconover]

I was kinda underwhelmed by Hakuhinkan Toy Park when I went there in '98, though I did find a really nice Iwatobi Penguin alarm clock and some pretty nice Parappa stuff. I much prefer "Kiddy Land" in Harajuku, it's something like 8 stories tall and is absolutely packed with wall-to-wall radness. I just about cleared out their supply of Animal Crossing toys last time I was there.

 

[Jacobi]

that Mario Diorama is so awesome

True. If you think about it, you could make a copy of it with lego (but its too difficult maybe)

 

[Mike]

I also got a Carbuncle plush and there are awesome goblins and moogles that are dope as well. The goblin in particular is great-looking, but it was 60 bucks here, so its probably ridiculously expensive to import.

 

[evilromero]

Mwhahaha. I have every Pikmin and Pikmin 2 plush. The Chappy one is adorable.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

this shit is AWESOME. :'(

:My mate is heading off to Japan for a month; might get him to get me something Bloody hell; I know I'm too OLD for plushies but I want the AC and Pikmin ones. They're too cool

Anything on

[evilromero]

I spent at least two weeks searching through several cities in Tokyo for the damn Pikmin 2 plushies for my girlfriend. It was worth it though. Olimar is so damn cute.
