Went to purchase a Harry Potter bookbag for someone that was $90. Just to find out that they already owned that bag. No more than FIVE MINUTES I come back to ask for a refund. I understand if I came back more than HOURS OR DAYS later but it was five minutes. I came respectfully asking for a refund just for the cashier to snatch the receipt out of my hand and say "I guess you're gonna have to buy toys or plushies worth 90 dollars". Seriously disrespectful. Also refused to contact the manager to see if they'll allow me to get a refund. Seriously hope to get my money back for this non sense. read more

Before Covid hit this place had offered a lot more variety of goods. Now it's a shell of its former self. If you want a better selection of items you might as well go to anime remix or pica pica. read more

I wanted to get a katana I saw there recently and they didn't have it, so I wanted to look at the other ones they had. When asking the employee at the counter, he was very rude and slow to help. He had a very bad attitude and was barely helping. Would not come here again. read more

The Character World inside the Mall of Georgia on the second floor right across from the Apple Store have various toys, art materials, anime t-shirts, bags, beverages and candies. Anyways, this place has almost every anime notebooks, t-shirts, hats, little accessories and bags you can think of! The owner/manager is a very nice lady. She always gives everyone a warm welcome to her store and helps out customers (including me as much as she can to her knowledge). When the store gets really busy, I noticed that there are two people (at most) who work behind the cash register. They look so cramped behind the cash wrap, though. Not a lot of space, ya know? There are a good amount of Hello Kitty backpacks, purses, notebooks, pencils, colored pencils, erasers, stickers, plushies and hats.. the list goes on forever! They also sell Hi-Chew (chewy candy) for 99 cents each. They have many different Hi-Chew flavors such as strawberry, melon, peach, mango, banana and grape. My favorite is the grape. It used to be the mango. but after awhile it begins to have a funky taste (have you ever had durin?? it tastes somewhat like a durin fruit also known as the 'stinky fruit'). There's also a carbonated soft drink called 'Ramune' (product of Japan). It's in a glass bottle with a glass marble inside of it. There are four different flavors: strawberry (not recommended because it tastes like cough syrup), melon (highly recommended), regular/plain (never had it) and orange (tastes like a 'light' fanta orange.. so it's not too sweet). They are a bit pricey but worth it!! ($1.99 each) ***I also came here for the holidays (Last Christmas) and they were having a HUGE SALE and you could find everything for under $15.00!!! They had awesome deals on their anime plushie bags and t-shirts!*** I know that they sell Naruto shirts, Hunger Game shirts and Bleach shirts. There are other anime shirts with cute anime girls on them.. but I'm not too familiar with which anime they're from. They have a large collection of Ugly Dolls and Angry Birds (mostly plushies). This place gets 3 stars. The staff here are friendly and very helpful! But I wish they had Fruits Basket (the anime) shirts and more anime shirts for females (more XS and S sizes)!! I like coming to this store whenever I'm off from work or at the mall with my friend. (Note: You can only use a credit card if you spend more than $5.00. I don't know why, but that's their policy. Also, they don't allow people to take pictures inside the store. I did this one time and I got in trouble from the one of the staff people.. now they have a sign that reads 'Please do not take any pictures with your camera'.) read more

Character World - I didn't know that I wasn't suppose to take pictures in the store. This is domo and me! - Toy Stores Near Me - Buford, Georgia

Visiting from New Orleans and I went to the Mall of Georgia for the first time. I look at the directory and this store caught my eyes! This store have varieties of candies, plushies, figures, swords, and MOST IMPORTANTLY (to me) STATIONERY!!! You can see some prices on the figures but if you need help, the cashier is very sweet and will help you! One thing I would recommend is TO ALWAYS RESEARCH the prices online for figures! If I visit GA again, this would be my first place to go and my final place before I leave again! read more

Lots of anime and comic figures. Funko pops, hello kitty and other items. Unique store when you are looking for something different than the typical. read more

they told me my fit was cool and they liked my eyeliner. also putting in a good note for the guy w long hair,, he was v nice

The staff, from what I saw, was not wearing a single mask. There was only a single sheet of glass blocking the cashier from the rest of the customers. His hair was long and his attitude was really disappointing and nasty, and I do believe that the staff needs to be a little nicer to the people who are purchasing from their store. If they dare talk back, I don't think that people should be entering or exiting the store. Sadly, I visited the store many times and had no problems, but this really caught me by surprise. Their refund policy is blocked by the cashier as well, so make sure to check that the refund policy is unavailable, but store credit is allowed. 1 stars is all I can give them for the horrendous attitude and failure of talking. Please don't come here if you're expecting cheap pricing and good staff. That's all I have to say about this atrocious store and their behavior. read more

If you love anime characters and collectable, you should give this give this place a visit, so much collectables that you might be interested in. I see so much things i want and interested in collecting just because of the price and how cool it looks, lots of action figures and mysteries bags to collect. Staffs are friendly and will show you around if you ask, or they offer and you agree lol. Only bad thing is no return once purchased, open or not. All sales are final! If you plan on buying, then you should make sure you really want the item before making a payment. Other than that, this place is very nice to even enter and have a look around. read more

Walking around the mall, we stopped in because I was looking for something specific to buy for my roomie for Christmas. We were greeted as soon as we entered the store and the girl didn't hover over our shoulder, which is nice. The store is kind of cluttered because of such high volume in inventory and it makes it kind of difficult if you're looking for something in particular. However, the staff seems very helpful. I overheard the girl calling a co-worker because another customer was looking for something and the other guy knew more about Anime than her lol. read more

I was so excited when I visited the area to see this store. There is a whole section of just Hello Kitty stuff and they even have a small selection of super hero items and cute trinkets in general. If you're an avid anime/manga fan, they do sell a nice little variety of keychains, dolls, shirts, bags, wall scrolls, and the cheap kind of figures you get in blind boxes. The merch. I have taken note of so far are Naruto, One Piece, SnK, Free!, Sailor Moon, Gurren Lagann, Soul Eater.. ya know, some basic stuff. But they do sneak in some random, more "intense" merch. from shows like Eden of the East, NGE, Durarara!!, Samurai Champloo and such. There is also Gundum builds here if you are into that sort of thing! I was really disappointed to find this Black Butler figure there and it was such low quality that for $60, it was not worth it. I also purchased some Snk Capsule Q's (small detailed toy figures that come in a ball) and they ended up being knock offs (all the colors were different, specifically the Mikasa one had a GREEN not RED scarf!) Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of the merch for cheaper in other stores, and definitely have seen better quality "toy" and figures around Atlanta, but they do price reasonably on key chains, shirts and wall scrolls so I can't be too picky. But the staff is super friendly and it's a great place to check out. I do recommend it regardless of the flaws! read more

Came in with my friends last week a heavyset fellow with glasses was working a friend of mine asked about a sword that he had seen in store just a week or two prior though I understand it might have gotten a little annoying with my friend asking about it twice because he was sure her seen it there the worker appeared to get irritated with him having an attitude when speaking to him. They have punchcards if no one knew I didn't they're face down on the counter I picked it up thinking it was a business card while I was checking out and flipped it over to find my the punch side. I warmed the worker "Oh cool is this a punch-" before I got the word out he had snatched it from my hands saying "Yep. Name?" I thought that was very rude not sure he wanted to give me one or wanted me to find it maybe? read more

This place is great! I was asking around for some items that I wanted but didn't know if they existed... Well the guy, David, took my number and a week later my dreams came true. It is not for everyone but we enjoy the pop culture stuff and some of the Anime stuff is pretty cool read more

This place is like any other Anime/Character store. Overpriced with nothing special. I will say the employees are quite rude and opinionated. If you like cashiers looking at and criticizing your items, definitely shop here. read more
