    My new obsession is this store! The workers were so nice and this store is very spacious! They quite literally have everything I need and want as for blind boxes!!

    Anthill ShopNplay now has a location Irvine! This spot is located in the same plaza as Target on Barranca where there is a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a nice selection of different toys, collectibles, blind boxes, and other goodies. Everything is priced very fairly and all of the staff are friendly and welcoming. This is definitely a good spot to get your Sonny Angel, Smiski, or blind box fix!

    I love this store for their smiskis and the smiski trading place, but the service is really bad. I walk in they stare me down, one time this old rude guy yelled at me. I walk around and they just watch me. Overall they have good toys and stuff but not good service. you guys need to be better.

    I highly recommend stopping by at this place. I come here every once in a while just to do some trades. Their trading shelf always has a EXTREMELY good selection and the staff here is super friendly. Betty, the worker, always helps us and is extremely helpful and nice. She always is supportive with all trades and helps me pick out which ones I want. I love my sonny angel collection right now because of her help and their trading case!! They always have good chases too! I recommend coming and trading on drop days because there's a lot of people coming in and trading and buying so you can always trade with others too!! They have a instagram and post when they have live smitski and sonny angel drops so I highly recommend following their insta to stay posted! Their prices are very good and are usually market price. Thanks again so much Betty!! You're the sweetest!

    This was my first time visiting this toy store because I was looking for a place to trade my Smiski duplicates. Other trading locations I've been to have had several of the same Smiskis up for trade, but this place had a really good variety of different ones. I don't think I saw the same Smiski more than twice which is fairly rare for a trading place. I brought 3 or 4 Smiskis to trade, and the employee that helped me was really nice and patient while I was deciding what to trade for. The shop was well organized and they had many different things such as blind boxes, fidget toys, plushies, and baby clothes. They did not have the new Smiskis Hipper set when I went, but I saw that the other Smiskis they had in stock were priced at retail value. A lot of other stores in the area have been marking up the prices lately, so this was great to see. Overall, I would definitely come to this place again because of the low prices and the Smiski/Sonny Angel trading section!

    My personal collection, but you are able to trade Sonny's here!

    Have the best trading for Sonny angels here! The workers are attentive and pleasant. Would recommend coming here if there are any Sonny's you'd want to trade!

    Hard to find places in OC and 626 area that sell Smiskis and Sonny Angels close to retail price.. So props to Anthill for fueling my blind box addiction. They sell out the same day they restock new blind boxes so just keep an eye on their social media for updates. If you have duplicates, they also have a trading box by the register! There can only be 2 of the same figurines in there and ofc make sure you're trading something that isn't scuffed. And shout out to Adolfo for being patient and helpful to everyone he interacts with.

    Sonny Angel Hipper

    The staff were super friendly and very helpful. We checked the instagram for blind box stock and we were able to leave with the Sonny Angels that we came for!

    I love this place! I mainly go for the mystery boxes they have (Sonny Angels, Smiski, etc.) because they are reasonably priced compared to other locations! The owners + employees are always so nice! I like their trading system and displays. They have children toys and clothes which are sooooo adorable! I don't have kids or cousins/nieces who are young enough to fit their clothes but I always love to browse when I have the time.

Recently, I came across them on a hunt for cute bag charms (thanks, Yelp Assistant) and I was blown away by the selection! In addition to tons of plushies, they have a whole wall of bag charms. I didn't find what I was looking for (something Disney and/or cherry-themed) but I found a cute charm for a friends birthday gift and the claw clips on the shelf below caught my eye because many of them were metal and large. Perfect for thick hair! The cashier confirmed this as well which made me feel confident and I can confirm they hold up with long, thick, hair. It seems like this place does a lot of limited drops so definitely get there early if you're looking for a trendy item. But, it wasn't too crowded when I went around 11am.

The only options were the Lunar New Year one. There was also a random softball plush. That was it, nothing else. No variety, no classics, no fan favorites. The selection was honestly disappointing. I drove out of my way for this. The display felt poorly stocked. It seemed careless and unprepared. Three stars only because the plushies were decent. I expected far more than this. .

I wrote Joovy and called about the issue on the second day I got someone on the phone she asked me to send proof, I did and she told me they would replace it then sent an email saying "case closed". I asked if there were any discounts that could be given for the inconvenience. She told me sorry, no. I said okay as such I would be posting my situation online and in reviews and likely reporting them to bbb. I commented on a bunch of their posts on instagram they told me to call them immediately after they subsequently blocked me on instagram then requested a return to sender on the ups order that was already in my state for a the new and correct stroller which I paid for! They are ignoring my calls, emails and have not refunded me my money. This is my first and only experience with the company and I will be sharing this information on every platform I have- they have lost numerous customers from this and all I wanted was some accountability! It's all been extremely frustrating. I cannot say for the price it's worth it because I simply never received what I paid for. I've also seen other reviews of them sending out used strollers so.... There's that. I would give no stars if I could.
