I was downtown looking for a business, and was completely sidetracked by this business instead. Who…read moredoesn't love a good (locally owned) toy and comic store? So obviously I had to stop and check it out. I don't know how long they've been in business, but I also don't know how I've been here so long without ever hearing about this place. This place is much more than a toy and comic store, it's more like a toy collector store / museum. It was really neat and nostalgic to walk through and see all of the toys and collector items from your childhood, they have everything! This is also a neat spot because you may find random items placed throughout the store and it might be just what you're looking for. They also have a small section of clothing. Cool spot and it'd be nice to drop in every now and then to see what new items they've added to their inventory. There are some high price items, but overall everything is priced reasonably well. The gentleman behind the counter was also very friendly.

Prepare to be overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have to visually navigate. Their shelves are packed and walls are covered. I could have spent all day in here but we had to cut our time pretty short. So I'm looking forward to going back already! They buy and sell everything from older fandoms to the new stuff too. There's something for everyone here.

I always say help small businesses, especially help hobby shops, though it's really helpful to that when they help you. ;)

I'm surprised there is not a review for this place! It's definitely Bakersfield's go-to Pop store…read moreand definitely has some of THE best if not THE best overall selection I have seen. While I've been to other Pop stores with bigger inventory, this place has the best selection I've seen... seriously! The owner, Jim, gets the best Common Pops and even rarer Chases and other limited editions. He also even gets the newest Pops and re-stocks immediately! Not only is he friendly and kind, he is knowledgeable and his prices are definitely fair. He also sells other toys and collectibles and even sells Pop protectors to protect your investment. I also like the fact that he has a BOOB section (it's not what you think, LOL) which contains Pops that have some kind of defect on the box which lowers the price. At least he's being fair and lowers the price! Pretty cool!!! I seriously feel like a kid in a candy store here as I a serious Pop collector/enthusiast. It's always fun coming here and I always end up picking up at least one Pop! Also, be wary of their hours as I believe they open after 5 PM on weekdays and open in the mornings on the weekends. Definitely go support this local store! It's definitely awesome and worth checking out--- especially if you're a Pop nut like me!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Makes me wanting to keep going back for more to see what he has in stock. He also always has trade ins all the time, some small but others huge ones and posts it on the instagram account. I always keep on eye out for that because most of the time when I'm looking for a rare pop he'll have em on one of those posts. He even allows holds on some funko pops if theres not too many on the floor which is cool. Really nice cool guy to talk too as well, I like how he's very knowledgeable on funko pops. Any question about any type of pop just ask him he'll know.

As my boyfriend and I were browsing through their selection we decided to stop to take a picture at a mirror near one of their sections. I don't know if the employee knew how loud she was but we clearly heard her comment, "Every time people pass by that mirror they stop to take a picture. It's stupid. It's dumb." It dampened our moods completely. We didn't get to even finish looking at the front of the store. We put the item we had in our hand back in their place and left. Really saddened about the experience and the fact that we couldn't enjoy the rest of the store as we could see they had lots of variety and the prices seemed reasonable from what we did see. Here are some of the pictures we managed to take before leaving. Update: upon further review a lot of recent reviews seem to be about the same women with the same common factor. She only provides terrible atmosphere and service to people of color. Which is very disappointing to see that so many customers come excited to come and explore to only leave feeling worse due to something we can't change. Especially in this climate and day of age, it's saddening to see such hate being spread.
