Newtown HQ is a fairly small space, but it is packed with an amazing variety and selection of blind box figurines, small stuffed animals, and other cute gifts. I came specifically for their Smiskis, which sell for an extremely reasonable $10. I was able to find a box from the Work series, which mysteriously has sold out in a lot of other locations. There is so much personality and love in this little shop and I highly recommend a visit if you are looking for a gift! read more

As someone who went to high school in Astoria not too far away from this adorable shop, my teen self would have been so broke if this existed when I was a student there! Any pop culture lover, neighborhood enthusiasts, small business lookers is going to absolutely adore Newtown HQ! The staff is all wonderful, incredibly friendly and personal! I followed their instagram handle before I got a chance to visit their personal location, and they do so many pop up events or themed days to support fellow neighborhood small businesses! I pop in every now and again when I work over in Astoria, and I always make it a point to visit! read more

Super disappointed because I love the selection of stuff they have, but the owner was SO rude and standoffish for absolutely no reason. My friend and I have visited this store plenty and always had great experiences with the staff but this time, the owner appeared out of nowhere, incredibly nasty and we're still not sure why. After reading some reviews, it seems like we're not the only ones who experienced this either, maybe be nicer to your customers. read more

With the holidays coming up, I've now started to earnestly look for gift ideas. And as much as I love the convenience of Amazon, I've decided to try to shop local as much as possible this year. Luckily, there are several great stores in Astoria that fits this bill. Newtown HQ has been opened for almost two years (?) but this is the first time I've been inside. There are so many fun and interesting items here! The boutique itself is tiny but they really jam pack it with a variety of things. Expect to spend a bit of time looking around. I found Tokidoki bags, plushies, toys, collectibles, stationery, anime merchandise and clothing. The items here are definitely geared toward a younger (than me) and hipper demographic. Still I had a blast checking out the store. I chuckled at the cat lovers section and the various hats they had for cats. And I was tempted to buy the socks with Bob Ross' face on it. So funny and cute. In the end, I got a extra large mug shaped liked a bear. Newtown HQ is a woman owned small boutique. Let's all support stores like these this holiday! read more

It is my go-to for gifts and cute things that make me smile. I appreciate how they curate what they carry and it's nice to shop in-person for items from my favorite artists/small businesses that I normally can only shop online or at conventions. Shout-out to the owner who posts updates frequently on their Instagram stories and for offering buy online, pick up in store!! Highly highly recommend this shop!! read more

Stopped by here on a rainy day in the area to browse for smiski blind boxes! They've got a decently large selection, and at the same price as online, so it's pretty worth! In addition to the smiski and Sonny's Angel, they've got a ton of other goodies. Pins, cards, stickers, wall art, tote bags, and more. I picked up a cute NYC pigeon card for my friends upcoming birthday here. Overall, great variety in the space they've got, and some quality content! I'd return next time I'm in the area. read more

I keep trying to give newtown HQ a chance again and again, but enough is enough. Never have I ever came into this store and felt like I was not being racially profiled. I wanted to support a Hispanic owned business so badly I kept coming back. The owner is beyond awkward please don't try to make convo because you are already being profiled. The man who works there too stands right next to you watching over your shoulder and often follows guest of color around the store. They don't even try to hide the fact that they are following you as if you will steal. The vibes are mainly the worst on event days like Sonny angel drops etc the owner seems overstimulated and angry during these times (insane for a business owner) .... So unfortunate had so much potential. (look at the profiles of the people who review this store with 5/5 stars... you'll see what they mostly have in common) read more

They have an incredible selection of niche collectibles that can be perfect as gifts for others or for self ;) a huge selection of blind boxes, stickers and other fun goodies. IMO the best authorized Sonny Angel retailer in New York. The lowest prices/closest to getting the direct from the Dreams! They're trying their absolute hardest to keep up with the baby boom whilst not raising prices like most other retailers, that's kindness!!! They're a small business worth supporting. read more

Let me start by saying every time i enter this store it always has the most amazing vibes, and everyone i recommend to go to Newtown says the same exact thing. I usually go here to get my sonny angels and stickers but they have a wide selection of different items. The price point is amazing too, usually when i go to other stores to get blind boxes they charge a lot but newtown stays true to the actual prices of items. I don't agree with the other reviews about the website usually I always do in-store pickup in this store and the website is easy to handle and my order is always ready extremely fast. If you do want to stay on top of updates in the shop I do suggest you follow newtown on Instagram the owner is extremely informative and you can't help but to love the shop even more when you see how much of a sweetheart she is on social media and in person. 10/10 one of the best places to visit in Astoria!!! read more

I came here today during a store restock not particularly for Sonny Angels but just to browse the store. The door was locked when I tried to come in and a worker came out saying they weren't letting people in due to "crowd control." There was max 4-6 people inside. Then she asked me if I was there for the Sonny Angels and I said no, she went back in, came back out and still wouldn't let me in. She told me to come back in a couple of HOURS. That's insane and terrible customer service. This store definitely has an "exclusive" vibe to it for people who shop regularly for certain collectibles like Sonny Angels or whatever else; I guarantee if I was recognized as a regular I would have been let in. Anyways, I'm not going back, and beware the restock days if you're just trying to support the business and not buy a Sonny Angel (which you can just order directly from their site BTW, it's not that crazy). read more
