Nendoroid - Japanese playsets

[3 3/4"collector]

nendoroids are a line of super deformed japanese anime figures, something i have no interest in but a few years ago i somehow stumbled upon a line of playsets that are made for displaying your nendoroids on. i looked around a bit and found out the nendoroid figures are about 4" tall so i took a chance and tracked down one of the playsets, ive had to find them all on ebay or in online stores in japan. and so far i really like the sets for displaying, i have 4 of 5 sets made so far. the sets all come in 2 parts set A and set B that can be combined into one set. heres the newest released set with a restaurant theme.





they come in pieces like this.


they clip together with these little clear tabs.


and you end up with this.


heres the restaurant set.




heres a bandroom set. it has western style instruments on one half and more traditional japanese style instruments on the other set.






now heres the 2 sets i thought people might find useful here. ones called english living and ones called japanese living.
heres the japanese living.



here you can see the doors open and there is a hidden panel in the wall that flips over.


and heres the western living set.

CRAP!!!

Like a dollhouse, but ever so slightly less girlie...only slightly. Need!

yes very dollhouse'ish. not quite as space consuming though. and a little expensive and requires a little searching. but i love them.

My heart sank a bit when I researched these...oyyyyy!

I shoulda figured they'd be big money. Anybody know where I can get these cheapest, PM me. Don't wanna spend gazillions, just want a goofy locale for my action figures to hang out in.

Bah, I knew I shoulda snagged that plastic Dora dollhouse furniture when it was on clearance!

sorry i completely forgot to mention the price, of course different people have different opinions of whats expensive. for me ive been collecting for a little over 20 years and have most of the figures i want and there arent many new things coming out that interest me, i also only collect 3 3/4 figures and playsets, no vehicles which alot of people spend alot on. so for me these seemed ok i just figured it makes up for all the money i never spent on vehicles and so on. the newest set just released recently is the restaurant set and i think paid about $30 per side, of course the shipping from japan was also about $30 so its not cheap. as far as the older sets the price seems to keep going up on these things, but i still found all my other sets on ebay for no more than about $45 each with shipping usually from asia. i just kept checking for them every day on ebay til i found ok prices on them, considering thats about what they cost in the first place and they arent super high produced. when i was looking the music room set seemed to be the one i saw most often listed, so maybe you could find a good deal on that one. but it is one of those things, if you want them bad enough its probably better to get them sooner than later. its very annoying though how rare and expensive alot of japanese toys are made.
