Please note that starting from the Zenbu 101 auction if you complete they authorisation with a pre-paid card further confirmation by email or phone may be required. Thank you for your understanding.

Mandarake Zenbu

Special Feature: Doraemon

“Doraemon,” the representative work of Fujiko Fujio, began serialization in children’s magazines in 1969. With the release of the first tankōbon in 1974 and the TV Asahi anime broadcast starting in 1979, it gained explosive popularity and has become a beloved classic for fans in Japan and around the world. In fact, it was animated six years earlier by Nippon TV, but the series ended after six months due to the production company’s dissolution. Because of its tone differing from the original manga, it became a “sealed work” and has never been rebroadcast. For this reason, dolls and goods from the 1973 Nippon TV version are extremely rare and highly valuable today.
