As someone who has bought all of their daughters prom dresses from Agent 99, I am ASHAMED of what…read morethis store has become. Today my daughters, their friends and I came to Agent 99 to look at graduation dresses, and I was horrified to see Christianity, Jesus, and the Saints being mocked as soon as you walked in the store. This is DISGUSTING. Canada is a Christian nation and to see this in a Canadian owed business is beyond disappointing. It is so sad how much this once amazing store has changed over the years. Rest assured we will not be returning, and I will be alerting the church mothers about this. Don't forget Agent 99 that the majority of your $400 dresses are bought by CHRISTIAN moms for their daughters, not a smart business decision!

Love coming in here to browse and always leave with a treasure or two. Most recently I purchased three pairs of super cute earrings - for only $6! Can't go wrong if you are looking for a unique gift or something special for yourself. Staff is always super friendly and polite. As others have mentioned, the space is small so keep this in mind if you are entering with tons of bags.

It's a very tight space; don't come in with tons of bags or backpacks because you'll just act like a bull in a china shop, unintentionally. What's cool is that all of their goods come from neat faraway places and typically everything is well labelled so you know the origin of the product. I always like looking through the jewellery, but if clothing is more your thing, the back room has all kinds of creative items.

Context for this review: I visit a lot of character and stationery stores in Toronto. Also, I am…read morebig on customer service - the real reason for the fail rating behind this review. OK - so as I've mentioned, I frequent a lot of stores similar to this one. Some are pricey, some are awesome values. This is definitely on the pricey end of the range, so no redeeming stars to be had there. Yes, it's on the tourist trap strip, but given that they're big enough to have online sales, and that the prices were beyond what I see in Toronto, doesn't help my rating. The range of merchandise is pretty good - lots of harder to find, more unusual pieces like calligraphy collections and the like, and a few glass pen selections. Daytimer and diary selection was pretty thin. Better range of plain sketch books and one or two music book choices. For the plush character merchandise, it wasn't so great - some more recognized Pokemon characters and a lot of generic animals, fruits, etc. There's some jewellery, backpacks, etc. Not much in terms of housewares/practical items like mugs, eating ware (except for portable), boxes, etc. The store was not laid out very well and the merchandise needs to be hunted through for differing varieties of some of the items. My hindsight brings up a dark and dingy image compared to the cute and bright logo on the outside of the store. Last but not least nail in this review coffin, I was actually insulted by the staff's attitude and remark while cashing out. Not only could I sense the attitude in their down-the-nose gaze, which was chilly enough, I got the message loud and clear that working here is all about them when I made my usual request not to have the 2 pieces of receipts stapled together. "Well, our policy is that returns need them both, so I (underline, bold and capitalize that "I") need it [sic] stapled." Okay, YOU need them stapled. WE won't be back. Not in the store and won't bother looking online, either.

I actually didn't see a ton of very well known branded stuffed toys (no Sanrio characters) but there were a few of the more popular Pokemon. There were a lot of different tools for journaling including an array of gel pens, stickers, and notebooks including ones with 2020 dates, diaries with flaps, and bound leather journals. They had some fashion accessories like fuzzy scarves, mittens, and hats. There were some anime statues in a display case up front but I wouldn't say that's the focus of the store. The store is really well organized and neat. There was only one associate working there when we dropped by who was industriously rearranging the shelves. She left us alone for the most part but thanked us for coming in as we left.
