A slice of the Japanese retail toy world

The other day, as I was walking to the checkout counter of Seiyu (a modern megastore with some stuff you need and a lot more you don't want), I walked down the toy aisle and checked out the offerings. Some old favorites there: Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and the latest group of heroes in the now classic Power Rangers color palette - call 'em the boy bands of the toy world. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to snap and share some pics.

Ultraman

    Thanks, this brought back fond memories of shopping in Yodobashi Camera in Osaka. They had so many Gashapon machines it was surreal . . . .
