It was funny cos I went upstairs and immediately asked the staff to show me where the Gintama section was and then she showed me and I found three medium sized figures - Gintoki, Hijikata and Shinpachi. I pointed to Shinpachi's figure and asked her how much for a figure this size and she answered (870NT), but then she said that Gintoki was more expensive then Shinpachi because he's the main character (950NT) but Hijikata was the most expensive out of them all (over 1100NT) because he's hot (and I told my mum he's really popular).

But then I loled inside my head because of how pitiable Shinpachi's character is. He really doesn't have a lot of merchandise and he's number 8 on the character poll so seeing that evidently in person is pretty amusing.

Anyway in the end, I bought a Gintoki Sakata Benizakura ver. figure for a great affordable :D

And since my trip in Taiwan, I have bought over 6 official Gintama books (guidebooks, character books etc).

Phew *wipes off sweat* XD

Tomorrow I'm going back to Sydney so I'm gonna miss all my shopping trips as an otaku lol. Can't wait to come back again next year :))
