Store Visit: Psycho Monsterz

For fans of Alien, Predator, and other horror/action films, Psycho Monsterz may be your dream - or if you like, your nightmare - store. Located in central Tokyo on Waseda Dori ("dori" is "avenue" in Japanese), just down the road from Nakano Broadway, the shop is just enough off the beaten path to fly under the radar.

But it's actually pretty easy to get to, and it's worth visiting, even just to check out the fantastic work that went into the mini and life-sized sculptures that populate nearly every square inch of the shop.

 

Some great news for overseas fans is they will ship worldwide. Just head to their website or send them an e-mail (see contact info below).
