Mandarake is a second-hand shop.
As I said, Mandarake is a second-hand shop.
Does second-hand always means used?
NO.
Goods in Japan can be different, and some of items just can’t be bought so easily (ugh!).
Like Prized toys
This figures of popular anime items cannot be bought in ordinary toys store — you can only get it by winning some lottery in convenient stores or in game centers. And they are so good and sometimes hard to get!
But Mandarake buys this good from other people and cell it to others, who just simply wants the Naruto or Free figure without spending money or time in game centers.
Or Doujinshi
Some of this beautiful arts could be bought only during famous Comicets, some of the pairings are so rare that to find anything with them is just too hard.
Cells from famous anime
Mandarake has a lot of collectors around Japan as a customers and some of them share some treasures from their private collections.
Original arts and signs of famous celebrities and manga-creators
All of this is 100% authentic! I nearly cried myself when I saw origian sign from my favorite mangaka!
Indies toys
Sofubi is a huge underground world and some of them are so rare, that you can call yourself lucky to ever touch them!
Jointed Dolls
Mandarake has a whole store of these unique, mystique and breathtaking pieces of arts.
Cosplay costumes
There was actually a TV show on National Geographic, that once showed this shop! :)
But yes, we have used old toys… very old one.
Vintage toys are is a sphere in which they have no equal! You feel in totally new world just visiting this place…
