See this display? It's just Pretty Cure stuff. Just Pretty Cure stuff. A whole display.
Eek.
These were just a couple of the random toy shops Yoda-san dragged us to last week.
Want a handfull o' Blythes? Just grabbie.
Oh, and then Yoda-san took dragged us to a store in Ginza that he claimed was "better" than Toys R Us. "Oh," he put in parenthetically, there's a Licca club in the basement?
Licca? Club? Not.....
Aiiiii!!!!!!!
(We weren't technically supposed to take these pictures,
but they were really, really, really nice at the shop. They sent us upstairs to pay, so we could save tax, which means we literally could have walked out of the elevator onto the street with Yensfull of merchandise!!!)
Oh, and if you're looking for the Volks shop in Akihabara, it's right off the subway. Here's what the front looks like.
It's right next door to this human Habitrail building.
It's actually a multi-storey mall, full of hobby shops (like Yellow Submarine), each one more wonderful than the next.
C-zone outfits for miles.
So much stuff....
60 cm Momolita? Ai!!!
*grabby hands*

Is that the Akihabara Azone store, or something else? I NEED some of those C-zone outfits.

Date: 2005-11-21 06:16 pm (UTC)Say, Pam, I should've asked earlier, but if for any reason you run into those Shirley Temple dolls that look like Tutti/Todd from the late 60's Barbie line, would you be able to pick one up for me? I am deeply intrigued by them. It's no big deal. I have no idea where they're sold (Robo Chris? Actual Shirley Temple store? Not sure). Money is, of course, involved.

Why these go for 40,000 yen is a mystery: maybe cos there are two? Uh, one is good. It's a wacky childrens' store. If you don't find them, I will not lose sleep.
But say, if you're going to the Volks store and you happen upon any of these shoes, money will be payed! I put a higher priority on these than the mysterious Shirley Temple:

Bottom row, left: Shoes with crosses

Top row, right: Mary Janes with heart cutouts, OR the equally weighted...
Second row, left: Mary Jane with ruffle detail.
And, just in case:

Green or pink White Rose ruffly babydoll.... oh my lord, if you see these, I will pay handsomely.
I feel like a turd for not thinking of this sooner, but if you were to become the Doll Fairy, I would... I would send you money AND lobsters. Or hot dogs. Or all three. Or Moxie, hot dogs, lobsters, and money, or a hug, or something.
P.S. visit Boston next
