Toy Hunters: Hot Toys’ official retail outlet

Posted by: vader at 10:18 pm on Monday, May 26, 2008

As I may have mentioned in past articles, I always make it a point to visit Toy Hunters whenever I get the chance to visit Hong Kong. Toy Hunters is a toy shop located at the 2nd floor of the popular CTMA Centre in Mongkok, Kowloon. They also happen to be owned and operated by the same company that produces the wonderful Hot Toys products.

During this visit, I was given a rare opportunity to drop in on Toy Hunters an hour before the store opened. This meant a huge deal to me because I managed to browse around their showroom minus the multitude of customers that usually came with the territory during operating hours. Of course, I took advantage of the privilege and snapped a few photos. OK, so it’s not just a few photos.
