I am not into collecting action figures but seen lots of very small hobby shops that sell mainly Jap anime characters but also movie-related or Marvel ones too.

For such stuff, HK locals go to 2 places in Mongkok:

Richmond Arcade, in old, fire-hazard Richmond Commercial Bldg. on 109-111 Argyle Street.

There are basement and 2-3 other floors that are full of narrow shop spaces, with see-through boxes of: Transformers, Bat Man (Joker etc), Hulk, Spider-Man, Superman, Fantastic 4, Cap. America, Alien V. Predator, Star Wars, LOTR, even model luxury cars and old buses, etc.

Spawn... I think saw a few in shop #215 (2/F), priced around HKD 280-380.

The other place is in Sino Centre on Nathan Road, Mongkok.

Comics, accesories... tons of Jap anime otaku stuff, but a handful of old Marvel titles in cardboard boxes (try second floor)... CDs/DVDs, and some shops selling U.S. action figures like at Richmond, but less less range. Saw no Spawn there.

Although Iron Man is very popular in the cinema now (great movie ), no figures in any shops yet.

Most items are collectables? but you need to go look yourself. There are cheaper paint-it-yourself copies everywhere.

Happy browsing.

Thanks a lot for your help. I found the place you were talking about and thats exactly what I was looking for. I love collectables!

I agree, Iron Man was great! Even my girlfriend liked it. That means a lot.

Many Thanks!

Mongkok and Amoy Plaza & E*Max in Kowloon Bay have all the imported toys.

Amoy went under redecoration so most of the stores moved to E*Max, however since completion most have moved back.
