Question: Hetalia merchandise available in Hong Kong?

[normalaatsra.livejournal.com]

In a few days I will be traveling to Hong Kong to work on a photography exhibition assignment. While I work there I am hoping to shop for some Hetalia merchandise, official or not, in Hong Kong street markets. If there are any, it's going to be my first Hetalia merchandise purchased for my own possession. I'm trying my best to search for any outlets in Hong Kong containing the merchandise, but the end result leads me to APH Hong Kong merchandise. LOL

I am looking for any merchandise by the way. It doesn't matter if it is a plushie or just a small charm.

EDIT: I do not have any budget right now, so I am OK if any merchandise is sold in a public store or within a shopping mall.

Hey, there! First of all, let me welcome you to our awesome city.

To be completely honest, I rarely ever see Hetalia merchandise on the streets here. The only exception is about two years ago when I was wandering through a Lam Tin mall and discovered tiny keychains of Romano, Prussia and other characters in a gachopon machine. Unfortunately, they weren't working so I couldn't even try =_____= Another time, my friend gave me a small HRE charm that she also said she got from a gachopon, but when she brought me back to the area it had been replaced with other toys.

The only time I've seen Hetalia merchandise in abundance is during conventions, particularly Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong, our biggest one of the year. Ani-Com will always have one big booth for official merch (it's where I get most of mine) and of course, there are dozens of fanmade doujinshis, pins, etc. at fanbooths and smaller cons. The thing is that Ani-Com occurs in August, and I actually don't really know how to scout out other conventions >____<

HOWEVER, I do think I have the contact info for a publishing company that helps print some fanbooks and stuff. It's headquartered in Guangzhou, so if you'd like that info I'll go dig it up for you.

Hope this helps...?

Greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I think it would be great to share the contact info for that publishing company. Would be greatly appreciated, and helps everyone else at the same time.

OTL

I'm so sorry, but I poked around my bookshelves twice...and I think I lost their card. A fanbook had this address: http://siguredo.blogbus.com but I don't really think it's the same company and it doesn't seem to have updated since 2010 (which is when I bought it, lulz)

In all honesty, I'm not much of a merchandise collector and as a result have a rather bad memory for it, so I'm glad other people were also here to answer your question. Have fun in HK!
