These photos of the rich man were taken around 3pm on weekdays. There were not many people, but I did meet a lot of friends from abroad. Congratulations!
toy consignment store
The rich man's favorite thing is the toy consignment store. The full cabinets in the store contain many meticulous collections of toy fans, but he has to compromise with reality and give away some of the products. Rich people often see unexpected, fun and funny toys, don’t miss them! The display inside the cabinet is also very diverse, such as dolls, cards, models, cars, Lego, and many unexpected and smile-making collections. Let’s go treasure hunting together! I saw Xi Jinping cosplaying Winnie the Pooh. Isn’t this made in China?
Discover the Japanese soft glue monster! But to be honest, there are very few Japanese soft plastic monsters in underground street toy stores. If you are looking for retro soft plastic monsters, you can go to Ximending. For details, you can refer to Rich Man’sTaipei Ximending toy store introduction and sharingThis article.
There are also many anime and fan peripheral products, and the product variety seems to be quite rich. But I’m very unfamiliar with the rich business of doujin, sorry. But I was still curious and checked Wikipedia. The meaning of "Fanren (ACG)" originally refers to small groups and fan groups with the same ambitions. Later, it changed to refer to "self-created, self-created without commercial influence", or "independent". 's creation. It has greater creative freedom than commercial creation, and has the concept of "create whatever you want to create". Doujinshi is a self-made publication of this kind of creation. The cultural circle of fans is called "Doujin World".

Figures/Gashapon/Ichiban Awards/Blind Box
Mainly focusing on various Japanese anime dolls, including One Piece, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, various beautiful girl dolls, etc. Of course, gashapon shops are full of gashapon machines, and I saw several in underground shopping malls. Gachapon fans can finish the shopping in one go, which is more efficient (laughs).
Ichibanshou and the blind box store. Ichiban Sho is really loved and hated by people. Unfortunately, there has been some negative news about Ichiban Sho recently, which makes people afraid to try it (laughs).
Bandai Namco
WOW! Bandai Namco (TAMASHII NATIONS) from Japan also came to Taipei Underground Toy Street to plant a flag. In the future, the latest hot and limited edition dolls can also be purchased here for the first time.
A limited-edition figure of the late Japanese comedian Ken Shimura's weird uncle. When I was a kid, Rich Man also watched a lot of Weird Uncle, which I really miss. Now that I think about it, the content is quite restricted.
The Gundam is really cool and the production is so detailed, but I feel like if you buy a Gundam, you really have to put it in a cabinet, otherwise something will break when it falls down (laughs).
card shop
Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, various professional sports, AV actresses, identification cards, etc. The rich man was also addicted to NBA basketball cards for a while when he was young. Unfortunately, the players he collected were relatively unpopular, so it is a pity that he does not have the freedom of wealth now (laughs).
The Pokémon Pikachu card released in 1996 has a youthful and innocent feeling. It is so cute and should be worth collecting.
TV game console
The TV game console store also provides the latest games for fans to try out.
post office
It’s so considerate that there is a post office, so if you buy too much, don’t worry, just ask the boss to pack it up and send it home directly! Attached are international parcel shipping prices.
playground
There is an electronic arcade in Taipei underground shopping mall, which has many music-type machines and card game machines. Are your hands itchy? Let’s give it a try.
The players put on their white gloves to play seriously and looked really professional. The rich man was really dazzled when he saw it.
As for the card game consoles, Rich Man has seen the most popular card game consoles such as Pokémon, Dragon Quest, Dragon Ball, and Star Dream Channel.
rich man experience
There are about 5 to 60 TV game console stores, toy stores, consignment shops, etc. in Taipei underground shopping malls. It is very dense, but to be honest, the rich man feels that the repetitiveness is quite high. The toy consignment shop is what the rich man recommends the most. Recommended to friends who like toys to dig for treasures. The business hours of many stores are from 2 p.m., and they are not open in the morning, so don’t rush out.
