    Window shopping here is really fun. They have an assortment of everything anime and have a great collection of Japanese home goods. The merchandise is pretty expensive, but it's understandable because most of their items are imported. One thing that stood out to me was how strict they are here. I noticed there are a bunch of rules they expect you to abide to: no food, no drinks, no backpacks, no purses, no photography of any kind. I wasn't aware of the signs outside their door because they weren't noticeable at all. I would've appreciated it if they had a bigger, more obvious sign at the front or if they had the staff notify their customers as they come in. Having staff follow you around and single you out to tell you to remove your bag or to not take pictures makes one feel guilty and embarrassed. As for my personal experience, one staff member used the loudspeaker to tell me not to take pictures. Man, did I instantly go red of embarrassment!!! Left immediately because I felt too embarrassed. I liked the store. I like the stuff they sell. Not a fan of their insane prices for merch, but it's expected. But I highly recommend you to become aware of the rules, or you may find yourself getting called out while you are trying to shop!

    This place is getting much more variety it's nice to see old anime and the new selection all in one. They are slowly getting manga in which is amazing.The sucky thing is that it's still a small selection due to house and beauty products they sell.They also run out of the hood stuff soon due to it being low selection of them and are left with the less popular things. But it's a very nice store and friendly staff.

    I visited here with curiosity.I saw Draemon which is super popular in Asia.I saw " Calpico"! It is Cal-piss in Japan.LOL I love both Calpico and Cal-piss. Especially, I love UCC coffee for 99 cents.Please try it! I was reading other Yelper's reviews who were most of the women.I was the only male customer,actually.If you have a wife or girlfriend who love Japan, please buy something here!

    Prices aren't too bad in comparison to china town and 99 ranch mart. If anything the shampoo and such are about a dollar or so cheaper. They have plenty of options for toys/plushies and also carry a few home goods as well. The place has a lot of variety in such a tight space. We went during the grand opening and that was a nightmare. Lol. Waaaaaaaaay to many people but you hit pretty much everything if you're in the mood for Japanese stuff. Go to this store, hit up the market next door and then get some lunch or dinner at ichi ramen or try some of the delicious foods within the market.

    They've since replaced all their fake figures with authentic merchandise from places like funimation and good smile company. Props for taking action!

    Very good figures a bit expensive though but is reasonable due to them being from Japan

    What a fun little store!! Every one is super nice and helpful!! I highly recommend visiting!read more

    the moment you open the door, before you realize any shape of any toy on the display, you are…read moreimmediately welcomed by the vibrant colors of the store. such great variety of games, action figures, vintage magazines & comics and rare dolls from decades ago. I brought my friend who is a big anime lover and the moment we went inside, his face lit up like a small boy in a toy store...i mean it's not that far fetched lol! he instantly left my side and i knew this place was definitely a comeback! i am not sure of what all he seen but i took pictures of my favorite things i was very interested in! ESPECIALLY the Heavy Metal vintage 1970 comic books. I'm sure the value of those magazines where literally a lot of in one of the employees opinions, "PRICELESS." I agree.LIKE WHAAAAAT! only had three because one donor donated loads of things and these were the only comics they donated, so if you have some old comics lying around, come to Misfit Toys and donate them, i would love to take them off of you! my favorite thing about this store (besides the comics) was the figures. The Simpsons was such a vibeeee! I literally wanted all of them and the backdrops! Also, the Michael Myers collectors doll with all the matching pieces....would be the perfect gift for anyone who is an obsessed fan of Halloween or just horror genre in general. I also loved the arcade game machine in the front right before you open the door :) such a throwback 80s/90s feel! Not sure what game is on the Arcade machine, but it works perfectly! I hope my pictures do justice, I can always upload the rest I have but here's a few :) It's so much more inside that I'm pretty sure i missed, but from The X-Files to Star Wars and even HUGE Transformers toys, it was so much that caught my eye, I can't keep up! experience Misfit Toys at least once! You won't regret it!
