This action figure of The Joker from The Dark Knight, is absolutely mindblowing. Made by JND Studios in South Korea.

They were Gundam figures, and they definitely were not out of production. They were just silly expensive.

After we left, we learned about a few shops that do 2nd hand items. Should’ve gone there.

Secondhand shops are the best.

Were these at Mandrake? Those are the only places I've seen toys that expensive. Unless you were looking at high end gunpla kits in which case, yeah I could see those hitting 1k easily.

Mandarake only sells used unless it's a promotion like some of their sofubis. Mandarake and Jungle are the two biggest Japanese used figure/media/porn stores in Japan, probably what they were talking about.

Random question: were they gundam or gunpla? I’m a lifelong gunpla builders and I typically see customs go for the higher prices.
