I'm not talking…read moreabout the latest and greatest highly marketed items, but those kinds of things I grew up liking or buying for my kids when they were growing up. They had Star Wars, Star Trek, GI Joe, Marvel and DC figures, Barbies, sports figures, and so much more. Lots of vintage comic books too. I've been to comic stores and to a somewhat similar place in Fishers, but this shop, though packed, seems more organized and easier to get around in. There were lots of items I remember seeing 20-30 years ago. Some were still in the packaging, but there were some just in plastic bags that were really affordable if you are looking for toys that kids can play with. (Why pay for the packaging?) But they had some items that, although maybe not in mint condition, were unique. How about a life sized inflatable Jabba the Hut! Or helmets of storm troopers or Boba Fett. Ora cooler that looks like R2D2. Yes, they had them! The guys who work there were friendly and easy to talk to about the items. Although I didn't make any purchases this day, I got some ideas I may pass along to my family for my birthday/Christmas. Fun stuff! Note that this location is a little awkward to get to from the south. I highly recommend cutting across Troy to Brill Street and then heading north from there because Madison angles and would be difficult to turn onto Brill from the south. Southbound on Madison is no problem though...just watch for the street sign. Review #3305

They know exactly which toys appeal to which age groups and are happy to get on the floor with your kids and bring down toys that they think they'd love. They seem to really have a finger on the pulse of the toy industry and be great with kids. They seem to really care and it shows. We've gotten a few fun toys here over the past few months and really appreciate the range of toy prices and sizes too.

I especially loved the sensory toy shelves. Price points were about what I expected. Some smaller items for $3-$6, like mystery squishes and sensory toys. A lot of what we looked at was closer to the $8-$15 range, but there is plenty of $20+ items, with some large pieces that were more like $50. So I think you can find something for most budgets, albeit small things on the lower end. The staff we spoke to were efficient and friendly, and check out was a breeze! They do gift wrap at the counter, too, which is fantastic for buying gifts! I'm not sure if that's complimentary or not, though.

"Look with your eyes, not your fingers" fell on deaf ears, but the joy on their faces made me relent on my instructions for my kids. They loved going from section to section, playing with the trains, picking up stuffed animals and making faces in the funhouse mirrors throughout. Like mentioned in my previous review, McWhiggin's has a bit of every toy you would like to find, with some circus-themed signage, oversized stuffed animals and other fun sprinkled throughout. Now, be warned that the prices are a bit on the higher end. The small dragon stuffie my daughter picked out was $10. But this is a locally-owned shop -- well worth the extra expense. This is a must-visit especially if you have kids and are in Madison.
