🇯🇵 Another doll place in Japan! (Patreon)

I have to admit I'm not well versed in the doll-o-sphere when it comes to vinyl bjds other than Smart Doll (let alone respond bjds lol) so I didn't even realize that Mandarake:

• Has physical stores
• Is Man-da-ra-ke and not Man-drake

I only knew the name of this marketplace from doll selling group so learning that it's a big otaku shopping place was a nice surprise.
The toy floor was up top, and I had to find a hidden staircase (for real, the escalator only went to the 3rd floor!). There was one section dedicated to dolls, most prominent were Volks brand but I saw 2 Smart Dolls (which were both strangely priced tbh), a whole Azone shelf (which I am now interested in after a recent purchase 👀) and lots of clothes.
Most of the things were being casings so it was hard to take nice pictures T.T sorry!
I of course had to buy something and while the Dollfie and the couch combo was tempting (and so was Snow Miku) I ended up buying a Dollfie head from the disounted bin (items with flaws) and a Japanese style school backpack (because buying a real sized one for myself would be a bit unreasonable).
Now I think my next doll destinations will be in the Tokyo area, but that won't happen until later in June so 😿 at least I should save up a bit til then hahaha
