I would not have the level of self control you demonstrate zaku... I would want to walk out of all the stores in your past few vlog vids with one of everything xD
i screamed in my pillow cause of all those zoids model kits, man i wish their where stores that had this kind of product ( not just the model kit) but everything in my town i would be in there nearly everyday
I appreciate these types of videos. I'm definitely hoping to get down to Tokyo for a week or two before the end of the year to do some crazy shopping and sight seeing
When i went there around 7 years ago.they had more variant toys than now.but the good thing is they really focusing to selling their kotobukiya's product
This is one of the place that I want to go if I go to japan. Kotobukiya's stuff are hard to get in my country because most of the people don't know about them and my local stores doesn't want to bring in too much kotobukiya's stuff due to the popularity of certain kits, for example Frame Arms kit. So I had to find another way to get them.....either online store or taobao, which means I have to pay a lot for shipping. And some of the kotobukiya's kits doesn't get reproduce which means it is even harder to find. I got my 2nd ever kotobukiya's SRW kit 2 years ago and it took them almost 2 years to reproduce that particular kit......If I didn't get that kit I have to wait 2 years for them to reissue that kit...... Seeing those kits in actual retails store makes me so happy, you can even buy the premium kit in the store! I would just buy those kotobukiya's kit and forget about gunpla XD
Yeah, all this stuff you can buy online but there's something really satisfying to going in the physical store. Especially for products you really love!
Great place to visit, although I found that their stuff isn't discounted and they don't have the sales tax rebate like many of their sales channel partners do. Still waiting for Busou Shinki model kits btw.
Kotobukiya has some of the cleanest and tightest detailed figures. Especially their Star Wars line. That Death Stinger zoid brought me back to my first big kit I ever built as a we lil lad. :') Great video man. ✌
When i get a job i should get a tleast 1 HMM(i think this is MG counterpart in the zoids but more expensive) Zoids model kit. I miss zoids too but gundam was the one that took my interest.
Never knew Kotobukiya made so much things. Liked the dragon things. Are those models or kits that need to be assembled and painted? Need to get me a REX too. How can I keep forgetting to order me one, oh yeah, Bandai and their Gundams, LOL. Gonna invent me a screen which allows me to put my hand through the screen so I can grap all those wonderful goodies there :-D Curious what you got in "store" for us next, LMAO
Not all the stuff is made by Kotobukiya, they are just licensed to sell the stuff. The dragons I believe are just figures, but maybe some of them are kits. JustiniusBuilds would be the to ask about Monster Hunter!
Thanks, will send Justin a mail about those. Yeah, could have sworn I saw some Star Wars kits from Bandai, but guessed I was still a little crossed eyed from getting out of bed :-)
Dear Kotobukiya: I have a severe lack of credit card debt, and too much disposable income. Can you Help?? Kinda surprised there were not more store exclusives. Wonder if they are moving away from it?? Did notice the astrangant limited though, wish I could find one.
Compared to most stores in Akihabara, The Kotobukiya store is expensive. However, they seem to be the only store with the best collection of Kotobukiya model kits (expectedly).It was still cool browsing the store though!
even their modelling supplies are a bit more expensive compared to other stores. Did you notice the Kotobukiya x GodHand nippers? Would have been cool if you grabbed a pair and did a review.
I would not have the level of self control you demonstrate zaku... I would want to walk out of all the stores in your past few vlog vids with one of everything xD
It takes years of practice and training...
I agree, especially how expensive the Zoids are in the US, I would get as many as I could
i screamed in my pillow cause of all those zoids model kits, man i wish their where stores that had this kind of product ( not just the model kit) but everything in my town i would be in there nearly everyday
so kotobukiya store -> great for detailing kits? I'm gonna need a big box for that and some stuff.
I appreciate these types of videos. I'm definitely hoping to get down to Tokyo for a week or two before the end of the year to do some crazy shopping and sight seeing
You living up in northern Japan?
Oh, not going to this place was one of my regrets when I stayed in Tokyo last winter. Can't wait for Comiket in August!
When i went there around 7 years ago.they had more variant toys than now.but the good thing is they really focusing to selling their kotobukiya's product
Ou, the Frame Arms Durga 2 caught my eye and it is nice to see the kits outside of promotional pictures.
At 6:36 on the 2nd shelf, there are some characters from the build fighters series!!!
9:05 I literally drool looking at those Kotobukiya Metal Gear products. And i wish they had more Super Robot Wars OG at 12:26

Aaah I remember, I took a photo of that impressive Storm Trooper army!
That Star Wars stuff just had me. I never seen so much of it in one space.
Do they sell goods from other companies such as figuarts?
I got a question if I send email to kotobukiya Japan customer service will they sent me a email because I lost parts or something
one day I would be able to visit Japan and live there.. fingers cross. zak is there anyway your contest in Twitter and ig will be also avail in fb?
Nope sorry!
Kotobukiya was fun. Bought a brachydios plushie there! Loved how they put on the darth vader and those stormtroopers on display.
Do you have more shots of the marvel/dc kotobukiya Bishoujo statues?
No, I don't sorry!
What a cool place! If we had stores like this in the US, I might actually shop at physical stores again! lol
Yeah, all this stuff you can buy online but there's something really satisfying to going in the physical store. Especially for products you really love!
6:33 ''hmm why are those old people creeped out?6:48 oh...never mind.''
is there a max factory store in Japan?
I don't know, sorry!
Hey Zaku do you recomend HG 1/144 rx-78 for a begginer like me?
After the pandemic, I wish I can go to Japan and visit Akihabara with my whole family!!! 😀
I wonder if Kotobukiya has its own online store.
store. kotous . com
Great place to visit, although I found that their stuff isn't discounted and they don't have the sales tax rebate like many of their sales channel partners do. Still waiting for Busou Shinki model kits btw.
3:19 I always see that cardboard figurine what anime is it from??
Yotsuba! i.imgur.com/QX1oB2h.jpg
Oh thanks.
Kotobukiya has some of the cleanest and tightest detailed figures. Especially their Star Wars line. That Death Stinger zoid brought me back to my first big kit I ever built as a we lil lad. :') Great video man. ✌
Some great kits there, to be sure! Thanks!
I really want some of those muv-luv kits
did you buy something there?
I bought a star wars towel for my wife and a stuffed Totoro for my son! Plus a set of retro Mario playing cards!
What kits are those at 8:55?
Frame Arms Kit
The things that looked like power-loader versions of Frame Arms stuff? I was wondering too
Man, I miss Zoids.
seeing Durga II again reminds me that I want one lol
When i get a job i should get a tleast 1 HMM(i think this is MG counterpart in the zoids but more expensive) Zoids model kit. I miss zoids too but gundam was the one that took my interest.
The HMM kits are really amazing!
11:03 why does the shelf say FA:G
Frame Arms Girl
ZakuAurelius of course.
Is there a reason why Kotobukiya's model kits tend to be pricier than Bandai's ?
Nice vid.The quality is great too! What do you use for filming?
Sakura Bunny Canon 70D
Thanks!
Look at all that Monster Hunter Collectibles. Damn, If only i had 2 million dollars to smother myself in all those goodies.
I really want an Evangelion kit but they sell out so fast. I'm hoping Bandai puts out more soon
and I'm still in the market for a metal gear ray model 😍
whats with the people with the mask thing on?
Never knew Kotobukiya made so much things. Liked the dragon things. Are those models or kits that need to be assembled and painted?
Need to get me a REX too. How can I keep forgetting to order me one, oh yeah, Bandai and their Gundams, LOL.

Hey guys what is the best place ti buy Gunpla in Japan?
OK floor 1... cuteness overload
Hey man, just watched your vid and it was awesome and informative. Btw next month im going to Tokyo, so yeah, thx for your guidance vid of koto.
You're welcome! Be sure to check out the rest of the video series as well!
Girls und panzers! Frame arms! Armored core! * gasp! * Boarder break!? * faints *
Dear Kotobukiya: I have a severe lack of credit card debt, and too much disposable income. Can you Help??
Kinda surprised there were not more store exclusives. Wonder if they are moving away from it?? Did notice the astrangant limited though, wish I could find one.
So many frame arms that I can't get!
I'd like a Jiji plush.
You know the best thing about this video besides the action figures is the Japanese girls.
the Koto Metal Gear Rex has been on my "ZOMFGWTFBBQ DOES WANT" list for a while lol
Yeah, it was cool to see some custom painted ones there!
+ZakuAurelius I'm thinking of doing a digi or tiger stripe camo on one
9:02 METAL GEEEEEEAAAR?
Of course the Gojulas and Iron Kong are sold out lol
Cool....😨 i hope i can go to japan one day..
seems like everyone in japan likes themed cookies
They love limited or specialty goods based on stuff they like.
japanese people are rather interesting. i would love to have a japanese friend . right now exams so yaaaaaaay. kill me please
ALL THOSE METAL GEARS
Compared to most stores in Akihabara, The Kotobukiya store is expensive. However, they seem to be the only store with the best collection of Kotobukiya model kits (expectedly).It was still cool browsing the store though!
Yeah, a lot of the stuff is anime and game kind of merchandise which tends to be more expensive.
even their modelling supplies are a bit more expensive compared to other stores. Did you notice the Kotobukiya x GodHand nippers? Would have been cool if you grabbed a pair and did a review.
Zaku Aurelius confirmed: Third floor contains weaboo moehit trash lmao.
Lol, yeah skipped that mostly.
I wanna build a metal gear kit
Zach is confirm team ironman haha
No! Lol
YEP
Did you have to ask for permission to film the store?
I didn't ask, they didn't tell me to stop! ^^
Free advertisement! They probably saw Zaku with his nice camera and thought '$$$!'
Seeing all this stuff is awesome and I like most of the video but please at least vary the music up. The track gets annoying
STAR WARZ!!!!!
And lots of it!
all the bandai starwars kits I'm unable to purchase direct.... thanks revel for crying to Disney. making them more expensive to import
tha plastic of zoids model kit its firm than the bandai gunpla in my opinion, and lots of gemmick
the plastic feels different because Kotobukiya bakes their plastic again after molding.
I see you're team ironman.
Lol, hell no. He was such a jackass in Civil War.
ZakuAurelius
he was even more of a jackass in the comic book. io9.gizmodo.com/a-guide-to-marvels-original-civil-war-saga-which-was-n-1773834750
7:00 Bruh.. lol
the japanese girl behind me?

OK floor 1... cuteness overload
