Mexico has officially become the first country in Latin America to host an official, permanent physical store from the Japanese toy and entertainment giant Bandai Namco.
Located in the Colonia Juárez neighborhood of Mexico City (specifically on Nápoles Street), the flagship store is designed to serve as a premier destination for collectors, gamers, and anime fans across the region. The opening capitalizes on the massive regional growth of the “kidult” market and adult pop-culture collecting.
Key highlights of the new flagship location include:
Extensive Collectibles: Dedicated spaces featuring major global franchises such as Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya (Los Caballeros del Zodiaco), and Gundam (Gunpla lines).
Gashapon Machines: Over 240 vending machine setups offering popular Japanese capsule toys.
Tamagotchi Zones: Dedicated areas celebrating the nostalgia and modern revival of the classic digital pet.
Exclusive Merchandise: Access to official figures, rare imports, and specialized lines directly from Japan that were previously difficult to acquire locally without specialized third-party import services.
