    Great selection, a lot of classics. I had so much fun visiting this toy shop I had to go back twice. Great workers who are very knowledgeable. Not the right place for the new and upcoming toys. Way better for nostalgic and history played toys. Such a great down memory lane toy store.

    Man, talk about big fun. I couldn't imagine a more fitting name. Now, they have a ton of stuff in here if you're ready to relive your childhood going back at least to the 70s. Star Wars figurines galore. Action figures of all kinds, really. I can't even name them all without leaving something out and bringing myself shame for it. Toys of all kinds representing almost every cartoon or sci-fi movie around. But my personal and particular favorite was all the Legos. They had quite the collection of even the priciest and rarest Lego sets on display, for sale, and priced accordingly. I easily spent an hour looking at all of them and daydreaming up story lines. My most favorite would have to be the "build your own" Lego minifigure. I was so tempted. With the selection of heads, bodies, legs, and accessories, I could have spent the rest of the day there making one. All said, I think I gotta get back in here next time I'm in town. And I can't imagine anyone not enjoying themselves on a visit here.

    I've never even heard or seen this store before. My friends and I were walking around to kill time and we walked in here as we saw many others walking in. It's a tight space though. We had to squeeze past other customers. Lots of fun things in here to take you back to your childhood though. You can find action figures, prank stuff, collectible items, magic 8 balls, comic books, Barbie dolls, etc. It's fantastic! Some items are cheap and some are pricey! Take your time looking around! Staff is friendly too!

    Vintage/Collectibles/New and joke shop magic items as well..... this toy store has a little (and a LOT!) of everything for everyone. GI Joe/Black series and wrestling figures is what the hubs goes here for. 4 stars is because there wasn't any Nightmare Before Christmas items... and just be forewarned that the store is really narrow & tight... but packed full of toys!

    A fun throwback store that took me back to my childhood. My kids loved seeing all the old action figures. I am not a collector but if you are you will want to check this place out.

    Big fun is in a very small space down in the southern half of The Short North. And I mean small, and narrow, and cramped especially with cases cutting through the center taking space. If there's more than seven customers here and it is a squeezing, 'excuse me,' elbows bruising ribs kind of place. Yes it's for kids, but I suspect its biggest clients are obsessive geeks who come here to add to their vintage collection of cards, action figures, dye casts, Star Wars toys, or comic books. Other items include Buckeye stuff, Christmas items, novelty cards, WWF junk, faux signs, fridge magnets, and games. I love the old bay windows in the front with a vignette of items displayed. The clerks here are full of whimsy, ours was singing something while stuck by the crowd, I asked her what she was singing. She: " Ask if you need hellllp!"

    This shop moved to the Short North from Cleveland's Coventry area. We recognized the store immediately being from The CLE, and we shopped there. Cool nostalgia describes the organized clutter that is everywhere. Any toy collectible you can think of is here. You walk around and recognize a lot of stuff from growing up. You'll also see gag gifts. It's vintage and fun. Stop in.

    So, to start off this story, I was trying to walk south of the convention center, only to end up walking in the opposite direction and not realize I was going the wrong way for 20 minutes. On the bright side, I stumbled across Big Fun. Enticed by all the action figures and figurines and comic book collectibles, I decided to pop in. I was immediately greeted by the friendly staff. I asked if they carried any Samurai Jack merchandise (which is what I will pretty much ask any toy store). The gentleman in a vest looked thoughtful, and brought me over to the counter, where one of his coworkers brought me an Aku action figure hanging from a shelf. I love collecting Samurai Jack march, but $80 was a steep price that I didn't want to pay for on an impulse buy, especially since I packed super light for a short weekend business trip. Despite that, I had fun geeking out with the staff over Samurai Jack. They asked who Aku's voice actor was, and I instantly answered "Mako!" and that season 5 was Greg Baldwin after Mako passed away. Like Aku, Uncle Iroh from the series Avatar was also voiced by Mako, and then voiced by Greg Baldwin after Mako's passing. They were super friendly, and I recommend visitors to pop in and explore their offerings and trinkets.
