Wide variety at a charming little shop. I had no idea this store had a cult following, but when I…read morementioned to my mom that I had visited, she got very excited. They're located on Hertel Ave, which is a nice shopping district and we visited on a weekday. When we entered, we were greeted by a friendly associate and felt welcome. We were browsing for a gift for a sweet two-year-old girl. There were so many options, but I was looking for something specific. This child has recently taken a liking to dinosaurs. Everything dino-related I saw was more appropriate for a slightly older child. So, I asked the associate for a recommendation. She was able to take me to an age-appropriate magnetic dino-build toy. It was absolutely perfect for my needs. The price wasn't noticeably low, but it seemed appropriate for the value of the item. After making my purchase, I was offered free gift wrapping. This was such a happy surprise. The result was so much nicer than anything I could have pulled off myself. Overall, I'd certainly pop in again. I was shopping last minute and was able to find the perfect gift. My experience was really nice!

We took our son to this store to browse and he found a new toy that he's been obsessed with ever since. The selection here is great. Not too many name brands but smaller brands with more variety it seems. It also keeps the price down on some of the items which is really great. The staff here has always been friendly and helpful. This little shop is one of my son's favorite places to go now and we will definitely be back soon!

It's sad that I'd rather shop at target or amazon because the staff at a locally owned shop is obviously annoyed with your basic presence in her store.

That 80's Toy Shop has a really great mix of old and new collectibles , This grandma loved the back of the store that had some old fisher price , a great vintage Spirograph , a Donny and Marie doll case that opened up to a stage .and much more . My grandson loved the Ninja Turtle collectibles , some of the horror action figures and the big bins of loose wrestling figures , again just to name a few . Star Wars merch was abundant as well as the classic superhero selection. An enjoyable stop that included many childhood memories and favorites .

This place is...well, delightful! Prices seem high, but are more or less comparable to what you'd find online, and you also know what you're getting here. No surprise smells, iffy stitching, or insufficient stuffing. It's near Pulp 716 and Spiritually Rooted and a bunch of other shops, each filling a different niche. No wonder the area was hopping today. Not only is the Delightful Octopus is a great addition to downtown North Tonawanda, the general area seems a lot livelier since my last visit at least a couple years ago. It won't be so long before my next visit. Our son loves his squeezable rainbow hamster.

I would like to say this as delectably as possible but the shop smells awful, the whole shop smells like urine and dog which I feel is very off putting for a shop that sell plush items that can lock in smells. Another thing I find off putting is the prices, the shop is priced very high and the owner will say that this is because they are a small business but most of their items are work stolen from other artist and clearly drop shipped. Another issue with this shop is the owners are very rude and I have witness them treat customers very harshly due to honest feedback. I do not recommend this shop in the slightest.

I would love to show the next gens the history of your toys and games. Toys in the toy shop varied on price, but the Little People were really decently priced!

We signed up as VIP members and get fun emails on releases and activities they are doing. They have all the various sets you'd expect to find in a store location. The prices are on par with the ones inside of other major retailers in the area, so it's not any more expensive to just buy here, unless there is a great sale elsewhere. It's always fun to just pop in and see what they have going on. Overall: A+ Great staff, fun to walk around, regular activities and offers

However rest assured, once you find it there is nothing you will want to miss once inside! Comic Books, Toys, Artwork, Statues...this place has a ton of stuff you just HAVE to check out. Prices are very reasonable and Action Figure Portal accepts cash, credit AND Paypal. Very convenient. In addition, if there is something you want but dont see, she can and will order it for you. The staff is super friendly too, but minimal. When I say minimal I mean the staff is one ultra friendly old golden retriever that goes by the name, Dude. He is the dude, the duder and the dudeliest. He usually just sits quietly but if your lucky he will get up and offer a personal greeting :) Check out Action Figure Portal asap and also check out thier fb profile for up to date items that come into the store. You wont wanna miss this place if you love this kinda thing. 100% worth the drive from Buffalo area. A++
