DRUNK X-MAS GIFT EXCHANGE : KFG


Sooo I've started up a new YouTube project with friends here in Tokyo called, KENTUCKY FRIED GAIJIN, and it promises to have more regularly updated content, more variety, and better production (sorry about my recent "lazy-as-hell" videos).

We've kicked things off on a brand new channel with our very first video, filmed a day after Xmas, featuring a drunken gift exchange.

Please check it out, and SUBSCRIBE :)

HUNTING @ TOY CATS w/ MAD HUNTER



Last month I had the honor of meeting and toy hunting with the legendary toy hunter, Rodrigo "Mad Hunter" de Orduna. After following his videos for several years and doing some on and off correspondence, we eventually ended up meeting in Tokyo during his first trip to Japan, and going on a toy hunt at my favorite spot, Toy Cats.

There I introduced him to my good friend, and owner of Toy Cats Showcase, Ishii-san. Together, Ishii-san and I further educated Mad Hunter about the world of vintage Japanese toys from the 70's-90', such as Henshin Cyborg, Microman, Dragon Ball... and even some obscure Japanese Star Wars items!!

Check out the video of our experience together below (and don't worry, although the title is in Spanish, 99% of the video is in English!) Enjoy!!

TOY HUNT WITH TOKYO TOY BASTARD IN TOKYO VIA AIRBNB


I've officially launched my own "toy hunting tour" via Airbnb!!

If you are planning to visit Tokyo and want some expert advice on hunting for the best toys, I know all the best spots! This initial tour focuses on, but not limited to, the Nakano Broadway area. Featuring 3 hours of pure toy hunting madness in the biggest vintage and modern toy & collectible shopping complex in the world.

For the past few years I have been offering such a service to people who contact me, so I decided to make it an official business and go through Airbnb to help promote the experience.

Are you coming to Tokyo? Do you want to go hunting for toys with a local expert? If so... CLICK HERE > https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/354436

Hope to have a blast with some of you guys! Cheers!! -TTB
