Why Japan and China are Confused About America

I stumbled upon this very interesting photo of a toy that was spotted in a Japanese toy store. This toy was in a collectors toy store in Japan - I think the store in in Gaugedaigaku in Tokyo - but I suspect that this item was made in China... No problem, I'd still buy it....


But, then again, maybe I wouldn't buy it. It is selling for ¥5,150.... That's about $62 USD for a plastic doll... Is that what these things sell for now-a-days?


Thanks to I am Bored

  1. It may be a one-of-a-kind item, Mike.

    You're right about not wanting to pay 5,150 yen for it though.

    That being said, there's one born every minute...

Comments must be succinct & relevant to the story. Comments are checked frequently and abusive, rude or profane comments will be deleted. I’m just one of many bloggers who answer questions online and sometimes for the press. I usually handle questions about Japan, marketing or the economy, so in those areas I’m more likely to make sense and less likely to say something really stupid. If I post something here that you find helpful or interesting, that’s wonderful. This is my personal blog. If you don't like what you have read here then, just like when you go into a restaurant or bar that allows smoking, if you don't like it, there's something at the front that has hinges on it and it is called a "door."
