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".
Introduction to several selected stores.
I didn't see any sports cards in the whole underground mall, but I did find a baseball cheerleading card. It's not easy to collect it all (laughs). The rich man did some research and found that this card was released by CITIC Brothers. Passion Sisters Passion Sisters currently has about 35 members, and in 2025, they added a member from Japan.Momoko KikuchiAnd KoreanJin DuerWell, it’s exciting!
Let me introduce you to my favorite toy store, Kou Kou Kou, located in the underground shopping mall on Civic Boulevard. If you're looking for toy cars or Monster soft plastic, this is the place to look.
There are a lot of car toys to choose from, including Disney limited edition cars, TOMICA, matchbox, Hot Wheels, and KAIDO HOUSE.
The boss has a huge collection of car toys, you can come and have a look!
The rich man also found a replica of the Japanese soft-gel monster! It’s quite rare and super cool!
Recommended discounts for things to do in Taipei
Figures/Gashapon/Ichiban Awards/Blind Box
The main focus is on various Japanese anime figures, including a ton of beautiful girl figures from One Piece, Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, and Chainsaw Man. Of course, the gashapon shops are filled with gashapon machines, and there are several in the underground shopping area, so gashapon fans can browse them all in one go, which is quite 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).
Kapok flower
Muse is the largest animation distribution agency in Asia, selling many Japanese anime products. You don’t have to worry about buying pirated products here (laughs).
There are many Japanese anime IP lucky bag products, come and try your luck!
card shop
Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic: The Gathering, identification cards, etc. But I don’t see sports cards in the underground streets. When I was in junior high school, I was also obsessed with American NBA basketball cards for a while, but unfortunately the players I collected were not very popular, so it’s a pity that I can’t be financially free 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
TV game console stores, Nintendo, and Play Station also provide the latest games for fans to try.
The rich man discovered that stores selling amusement equipment would also take out some of the gifts and sell them separately, so that friends who like the toys can buy them directly. This is great!
Many Nintendo Mario products are only available here.
A store specializing in used handheld and video game consoles! The owner has chosen a great name for the shop.
RareHandheld game consolesIt's in great condition. I had several of these when I was a kid, so I really miss them. I haven't seen any in secondhand stores or toy shops in Japan, so they must be quite rare. If you're into collecting, definitely check it out.

post office
How thoughtful! The Toy Underground Mall actually has 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 interactive music machines and card game machines. Are your hands itchy? Let's be embarrassed.
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.
