Nakano Broadway sells a fukubukuro lucky bag for foreigners, but is it a good deal or a scam?
Ikuna Kamezawa bought a Kawaii Lucky Bag of anime figures at Nakano Broadway and learned it was a great deal.
Yo, let me tell you about Ikuna’s little adventure in Nakano Broadway—this spot’s like an otaku wonderland, buzzing with both locals and tourists. She stumbled on these “Kawaii Lucky Bags” at a figure shop, Nakano Factory Secret Base. The bag she picked cost 4,500 yen and promised four figures, with one guaranteed to match the image on the sign. Curiosity got the best of her, so she went for it.
When she cracked it open, here’s what she found: Hatsune Miku in an outing dress, Albedo from Overlord in a mini dress, Ruby from Oshi no Ko, and Nadeshiko Ohmuro. Hatsune Miku’s the standout name here, but weirdly, she wasn’t even on the promo sign. Naturally, Ikuna turned to our resident otaku, Seiji, to weigh in.
Seiji zeroed in on Albedo as the highlight. Why? Overlord’s staying power and Albedo’s striking character design make her a favorite among fans. He even pointed out how detailed her figure is, even down to the purple streaks in her hair. Ikuna realized it’s not always about the most famous character but about demand and craftsmanship.
In the end, Ikuna learned three things: her anime figure knowledge could use some work, this bag was a steal, and Nakano Factory Secret Base isn’t just catering to tourists with gimmicks—it’s serving up great deals. They only had 50 of these bags, so if you’re in Nakano, don’t sleep on grabbing one!
