This is the first installment of a series of entries that I have put together from my trip to Tokyo in late December. Todays installment will be about a great figure shop I found.

A building with perhaps the best selection of figures in Japan is large but all of the figures are also a little tough to find. If you go out of Akihabara station at the Electric city exit you will see the rapping electronic sales man in front of you and this view if you look 45 degrees to the left like this:

This is basically the building but all of the collectible figures are on the 5th and 6th floor. Walk to the base of the building and go up the escalator. Take it up to the 4th floor and then walk up the stairs to the 5th and 6th floor. Here is the store entrance:

On the 6th floor you can find the Super Dolfie store that I will tell you more about in a future entry. This store also has a variety of other dolls that you can buy as is or put together. There is also a great variety of Mech figures. Here is a shot of a life sized figure/statue of Kenshiro from Hokuto no Ken found on the 5th floor:

Of course you can find Gundam but there is also massive wall displays with Berserk, Mighty Series, The 5 Star Stories, Macross, Super Robot Wars, Total Eclipse and Strikers.
