Walking down the Costume aisle a few days before Halloween has no perks, there's only one of everything left and the meh costumes are left. I was only in to pick up a few little things and even at that it was very slim pickings. I got my costume earlier in the month so I wouldn't suggest going here the day before of kinda place. Decorations were nice but half of the things that were set up were broken I guess from everyone walking around touching them but it was nice to see them make a fun part in the store.

Very kool store!!…read more This place is seasonal so don't expect to come year round. It is loaded with tons of costumes, decorations and other Halloween necessities....but it's extremely expensive. A full adult's costume will run you between 50-80$ and sometimes even more. The decorations were in the 100-300$ range *yikes*. Also despite the incredibly wide variety of costumes for both kids and adults: I could not find the items I was searching for to complete my 2 costume ideas. One might think that's because I chose obscure costumes but that is not the case (you'll see at the Yelp parties next weekend)! So i found that quite disappointing. The decorations are really kool though. There were even a few that genuinely elicited a *yelp* from me (pun sorta intended)! I did really enjoy the costumes, so i plan to save my pennies and come here without any costume ideas next year to splurge on something really awesome. If at all, this place is great if you need ideas, several of the staff were very helpful in feeding ideas to people who described their past costumes and what they were looking for this year. Definitely kool to check out!

When Halloween rolls around and you need a costume you need to visit Ponton. It is located well…read moreoff the beaten path on a remote stretch of Ste Catherine St in the Hochelaga Maisonneuve area but the detour is worthwhile. I had left my Halloween costume prep to the last minute so I came here in desperate need of an accessory. I was blown away by the vast selection which happens to be spread out over 2 floors. If you can think of a costume they probably have it. They only do rentals and it is easy for the price tag to get steep if you aren't paying attention to what you're renting, but you should consider this place when in need of a costume.

I came to Ponton Costumes based on a recommendation to rent a fantastic Halloween outfit for a…read moreparty and I'm glad to report the recommendation was totally worth it! In fact, they are far more than a costume place as you can get a huge variety of outfits for many types of events whether it's a party, wedding or even a gala. What I particularly enjoyed was the renaissance pieces and had the opportunity to view the fitting of a pair of french noblewomen in the making. There's a main floor and a basement, the latter held the goods I was looking for. After checking out a few outfits, I went with an astronaut costume and it was pretty awesome. At the party.. it was a meteor hit! Out of this world! You can come for a fitting days, if not weeks in advance to find what you want and rent the costume for a specific date. My only issue is that it's not cheap, I found good value with my outfit (helmet, suit, boots and gloves). Some others though, not so much... it can be pretty pricey for a rental for an evening... but if you have the means...

I was in a pickle and waited last minute to get my girlfriend balloons for her birthday. I know I…read moreknow stop doing things last minute! Thankfully I found this gem 10 minutes by away from our place. Don't let the outside fool you this place is massive !! Like many part supply stores they have a variety of balloons that you can have filled with helium on the spot or your can order ahead. Pretty much any colour they've got, They also have a great variety of costumes and decorations for any type of event. There's so much to look at that by the time I got to the cash I had planned 12 other parties in my head. The staff is friendly and helped me figure out colours and combos that go well together and boy did I learn a lot. Thanks for saving my butt !

We went there looking for a specific halloween costume that we could not find anywhere else (sold…read moreout) for my teenage daughter. The good: Was not busy when we went. They have a system of binders where you write down the code of the costume you want, and the costumes are in the back store, which avoids people from opening the costume bags and damaging the costume. You can try on the costume before purchase. Prices are good and competitive. Store is big. They have a balloon station. They also have a wedding section. Big choice for teens and toddlers. The bad: Some staff members, not all though, do not want to be there and it shows (no smile, no customer service). Parking is totally AWFUL! I think this store must be difficult to get service when busy (but this is an assumption). No clerks on floor for help if we need a question (we were wondering something in the wedding section, could not find anyone in 20 minutes' time). In the end, this store does NOT label itself as a Halloween store. Therefore you might find that costume you are looking for. But you might wait a while before trying it on if the store is busy.

Best option in the immediate area that I've seen for affordable and high quality kids toys, games…read moreand costumes. Nice wooden toys, cool lego, a really sweet collection of cuddly puppets in friendly fabrics. Some of the staff were incredibly mellow and nice, and one guy was a little overly intense, not a bad guy just too much for the otherwise sweet and magical vibe of the store.

They unfortunately don't do it. They rent wedding dress. But boy, is this place great to look at! The stock is amazing! They have everything. They even have realistic fake rubber trouts to recreate those "Asterix and Obelix" village fight about fish freshness. I'm a sucker for hats and they had plenty of them. But sadly...No wizard hat. (I think maybe it was elsewhere) Also, they have crew to make custom armour design both in leather and metal. I want to say I didn't put any pictures of their work because they don't want to get copied and I totally respect it. Believe me they are pieces of art! Even if you don't want to dress medieval this place is a must see. It's so much more!

Date of visit: June 12, 2023…read more Our friend's daughter is a big fan of all things anime and this store is essentially her mecca! Filled to the brim with collectibles of all types from various manga, anime, and video game tie-ins, to a large selection of Loungefly bags and Funko items, if you know anyone that is into these items, Chez Rhox is the place to hit up in Montreal. I don't know much about these items to know if the prices were good or not, but the wide variety of items allows you to find something for that special someone no matter what you are looking to spend. Be aware that the aisles are a bit narrow so make yourself as small as you can so you don't knock things over! Staff isn't overly friendly but efficient.

Prices were fair, and if I had more time, I would have liked to have rummaged more. Also, they had walls filled with high-dollar rarities and CGC-graded issues. My favorites part of the store was their vintage toys. I saw E.T. figures that I have not seen in over 40 years. And, it was a pleasure chatting with the young lady who was manning the cash register: she discussed why she like the Riddler when I told her that I liked Harley Quinn.

The staff is always super nice and helpful, and they even have a stamp card system where you get rewards for every $20 spent.
