I'm surprised there is not a review for this place! It's definitely Bakersfield's go-to Pop store…read moreand definitely has some of THE best if not THE best overall selection I have seen. While I've been to other Pop stores with bigger inventory, this place has the best selection I've seen... seriously! The owner, Jim, gets the best Common Pops and even rarer Chases and other limited editions. He also even gets the newest Pops and re-stocks immediately! Not only is he friendly and kind, he is knowledgeable and his prices are definitely fair. He also sells other toys and collectibles and even sells Pop protectors to protect your investment. I also like the fact that he has a BOOB section (it's not what you think, LOL) which contains Pops that have some kind of defect on the box which lowers the price. At least he's being fair and lowers the price! Pretty cool!!! I seriously feel like a kid in a candy store here as I a serious Pop collector/enthusiast. It's always fun coming here and I always end up picking up at least one Pop! Also, be wary of their hours as I believe they open after 5 PM on weekdays and open in the mornings on the weekends. Definitely go support this local store! It's definitely awesome and worth checking out--- especially if you're a Pop nut like me!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Makes me wanting to keep going back for more to see what he has in stock. He also always has trade ins all the time, some small but others huge ones and posts it on the instagram account. I always keep on eye out for that because most of the time when I'm looking for a rare pop he'll have em on one of those posts. He even allows holds on some funko pops if theres not too many on the floor which is cool. Really nice cool guy to talk too as well, I like how he's very knowledgeable on funko pops. Any question about any type of pop just ask him he'll know.

She helped me grab a petticoat from the wall and showed me to their little dressing room even though it was close to closing! Most places would be annoyed but she was extremely patient and sweet with me. While I was shopping around there were some loud people messing around and it sounded like they dropped something. If you go into an antique store, please be respectful and mindful that you're surrounded by old and valuable items, most importantly, items that don't belong to you. This may be where some people are getting a "rude attitude" because I'm Mexican, and didn't sense any of the racism or rudeness that people talk about in these reviews. I also try to be very respectful when entering a store of any kind. Expect the same treatment and attitude that you give out.

Buyer Beware We…read morevisited a vendor toward the back of this antique store and spent quite a bit of time digging through records. I was genuinely excited to find an album by The Ventures until we got home. When we opened the sleeve, it turned out to be a completely different record. We called the store the next day to explain what happened. The first employee told us this issue happens "often," which was already concerning. Then a second person (Terri) got on the line, and after we explained the situation again, we were told this is something we should have checked, immediately shifting the blame onto the customer. They refused a refund and instead offered store credit, but only for that same vendor. We live in the southwest, and the cost of gas and time to return simply is not worth it, especially for a vendor we will not purchase from again. So, they can keep the money. Lesson learned: apparently, customers are expected to double check merchandise because the vendors or staff will not. If you shop here, inspect everything carefully at the counter before paying. We will not be returning. Receipt information; CASHIER: ADMIN DATE: 05-02-2026 TID: 82221 TIME: 02:50 pm 629 - 1 @ $15.00 each VENTURES LP Update (May 4, 2026) My email reply to Terri: Hi Terri, Thank you for your response, but I disagree with how this situation has been handled. Your explanation focuses on reasons why this may have happened rather than solutions or accountability. Verifying merchandise, especially in a resale environment where items can be incomplete or tampered with, should be a basic part of the sales process. I visit many antique stores, including very busy ones, where staff still take the time to quickly open and verify items at checkout. In this case, there were multiple staff members present, no line, and ample opportunity to confirm the contents of the album. A simple check would have taken seconds and prevented this entire issue. To be clear, this is not about the money, as the item was only $15. The issue is the principle of the situation. When a customer calls to report that they were effectively sold the wrong item, a more appropriate response would have been an apology and a discussion on how situations like this can be prevented in the future, rather than placing the blame on the customer. Citing store policy and system limitations does not address the core problem: an incomplete or incorrect item was sold. Policies are meant to guide fair business practices, not to avoid accountability when something goes wrong. Suggesting that a third party may have tampered with the item only reinforces the need for staff to verify products at the point of sale. While I understand the challenges of managing a large multi dealer space, those operational complexities should not be passed on to customers. I would also strongly encourage reviewing your in store camera footage, as it may help clarify what occurred and prevent similar situations in the future. The review was intended to help future customers by encouraging them to check their items before leaving, so they do not end up in a similar situation and lose money. Thank you.
