I have been an action figure collector my whole life and this store was like heaven to me. Every…read morespace is covered top to bottom with rows and display cases of modern and vintage action figures and toys from various eras. The prices are reasonable and not egregious like some other stores I've been to. There are plenty of lose figures for really good deals and many are complete with their respective accessories. The staff I met were offered to get stuff from way up on the high shelves for me to look at and were patient even when I decided to put things back. I found a vintage Mighty Max figure from 1971 and one staff member helped me figure out what it was via a google lense search. If you are a collector of vintage or modern action figures/toys there's something here for you.

The comic selection is pretty great like there's tons here that you could look for hours and there's also so many other things collectibles to find here So ends the good When I say this place is overpriced I'm not saying by a small amount this place is crazy OVERPRICED asking upwards of 10-15 dollars for non key Batman legends of the dark knight books even tho you can get almost the whole run for 2 dollars a book. The condition of the priced books is also Horrendous! 20$ keys were COVERED in spine ticks but had 60$ price tags on them "uncanny x men 138" for 60 dollars when it has more ticks than a stray dog is highway robbery Lastly they have a HUGE sign outside that clearly states "we buy sell trade comics, games, cards" yet when I asked the guy if he was interested in looked at the books I brought he said "sorry our guy only does business online". So put that on your sign then Just stay away from this place it puts scalpers to shame with its prices of beat up comics

Kpop Nara is a small K pop retail shop in Boston and one of the few dedicated physical stores for K…read morepop albums and merchandise in the area, which gives it a significance for local fans that goes beyond what the store's size would otherwise suggest. We walked into a space that is well organized and easy to navigate even for first time visitors who are newer to the format and not sure what they are looking for. The album selection covers a solid range of artists, and the store follows new releases closely enough that recent drops are typically in stock. We noticed Stray Kids merchandise in particular has a strong presence, and the store has hosted release events for major albums that draw dedicated fans. The freebie table is a detail that regulars appreciate, and the large screen playing K pop music videos gives the space an energy that makes browsing feel like part of the experience rather than just a transaction. Pricing on albums is generally fair and competitive with what we would pay through online retailers. Light sticks run a bit higher, but not outrageously high. The staff were patient and helpful, guiding us without assuming prior knowledge. For anyone who likes K pop, this is definitely a store to check out. It serves the local fan community well and provides a physical retail experience that online shopping cannot replicate.

I brought her here for their newest album Do It and they were very helpful explaining what the difference for the album versions are? They also answered my question about the uniforms (one size and it feels like a large for me, but too big for a kid). I can't speak much on the prices, but for the event, if you buy enough, you get cards. They also had stamps for postcards. The space itself does feel a little crowded when it's busy, but at least everything is organized well and again, staff is very helpful!

Tons of books and fun toy selection, including some hard to find things like Sonny Angels and Jelly Cat stuffies. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

It's definitely on the smaller side and it's located in the basement level. But it's bright and open and had great light from those front windows. It's well stocked with books of all kinds and gifts and other tchotchkes, too. It's a charming little shop. If you're a reader, you're bound to find something to take home with you.

Naming your store "Lovely Shop" [and/or "Cute Shop" - depending on which sign you see] will…read moreundoubtedly set rather high expectations for the cute-goods-consuming customer. While the store is tiny, in true Chinatown shop style, it is filled with lots of miscellaneous goods. What lured me into this store initially were the promises of Sanrio items, however, I was kind of disappointed by their selection. They have cell phone charms, home goods, stickers, etc, however, nothing that I haven't seen before; and if it was something I hadn't seen yet, it was usually a counterfeit item [like those weird neon/hologram wonky-looking Hello Kitty stickers]. I did however score a sweet Astro Boy tote bag from this store a few years ago, and I really love it. While I can't vouch for the full authenticity of this product, it has served me well throughout the years. Regardless, I rarely stop by this shop unless I find myself extremely bored in Chinatown. In which case, I usually leave Chinatown, but yeah.

I was expecting a smaller version of Every Little Thing (a really great store for cute stuff in Allston), but Lovely Shop didn't have anything unique.
