Testimonial from client #39:

I first came across Joseph's services on the forum that I frequent, and I must say as one who is experienced with most of the ins-and-outs of Japanese merchandise procurement, Joseph fills a very important niche in our market. His reasonable fees and superb communications coupled with his understanding and his knowledge and involvement in this area makes his Tokyo Hunter service one of the very best available online. It is only through him that I have been able to access some of the rarer items from Japan, and I'm happy to say that I'll be using his service again and again.

Stumbling upon Tokyo Hunter's site was like a dream come true for me. After looking high and low for an Allen Walker PVC and finding nothing I was pretty much faced with the reality that I would never get my hands on this gorgeous figure. Enter Joseph and his site. When I first saw it I was a bit hesitant as to the kind of service I would get but I was definitely not disappointed. Joseph provided Excellent communication, answering all my questions and explaining the process of ordering fully. When the figures arrived they were just as I expected and packaged with great care. I definitely recommend him to others and will certainly be using his services again in the nearby future. =)

Testimonial from client #16:

Joseph Tsai a.k.a Tokyo Hunter, I still wonder how am I to live with my huge collection without his help, not only does he provides excellent services for toy collectors, but he makes you feel good about it. I got to know about Joseph before he started his "Tokyo Hunting" services, and he was already a passionate collector back then. As a collector himself, he understands what toy collectors want and also what is meant by value for money. Tokyo Hunter's services are top-notched, fast, reliable and efficient. If you're afraid and drawn-backed by all the recent scams on Ebay, look no further for an alternative because Tokyo Hunter is here to stay. Thanks again for all your superb services and keep up the good work! See ya soon again in Japan!

Testimonial from client #53:

I came across Joseph's site while looking for info about some mail-away Busou Shinki figures. Lo and behold, he happened to be providing exactly the type of service he used. I ordered five figures through him. I was pleasantly surprised by how professionally he handled his operation: emails were friendly and informative, the items were packed with extreme care, and his prices are reasonable compared to most online stores and eBay, which take every chance they can to gouge you for items like these. I will definitely be using his services again.

I found out about Tokyo Hunter's services from another member on a board I visit often (Macrossworld.com).

Testimonial from client #95:

I became aware of Tokyo Hunter's services while looking at a figure in Dannychoo's site. I saw this Amaha and so I emailed HLJ to get me this but they said it's a Kotobukiya exclusive, I said "What exclusive? Why so?" so I got to Kotobukiya.co.jp but I couldn't understand the Japanese. I needed to find someone to help me acquire such a hard-to-get item, someone that is not a hoax, is reliable, someone in Japan. Posted a help me in Heiseidemocracy and got a tip from an Ichiro guy. Did a search in Tokyo Hunter, got to his blog and read the testimonials and praises. I wouldn't believe what they wrote, sounds too good, but I said give it a shot and see for myself. They are true, word-for-word. He replies quickly. He backs you up like you're leaning on a solid brick wall. I'm very satisfied with what happened. Thank you Joseph Tsai a.k.a TokyoHunter!

Item purchased: Kotobukiya Witchblade 1/6 Masane Amaha Kotobukiya Shop exclusive.

Testimonial from client #45:

I received the kit two days ago and just had a chance to look at it now. It's a very nice kit; it almost makes me embarrassed that I can't put it together myself. I'm very happy that I stumbled onto your site while randomly reading through figure blogs. It has made my figure searching much simpler. Finding a legitimate Bubba figure is like finding across a unicorn.
