Yellow Springs Toy Company is a chock-filled shop that seems to sell every toy ever invented. The…read moreage range of items is from newborns to seniors. There are bath toys, books, and blocks. There are plushy, puzzles, and puppets. You get the idea. And to top it off, there's a very friendly lady there to help sort it all out for you. The only drawback to the store is that the building is old and not ADA compliant. The entry is via very steep stairs and no landing. It's kind of scary and I'm glad there are handrails. For those with mobility issues, don't worry, as there is in-store pick up, local delivery, and US shipping.

What a fun find in the heart of downtown Yellow Springs! I'm wondering if they're new-ish given…read morethat I'm the first to review this business on Yelp. I'm a sucker for a toy store that sports creative and educational toys. Nine times out of ten I walk out with a purchase either for myself or the kiddos in my life. This visit was no exception. We ended up purchasing these fun stickers that convert a cardboard box into a car (they also had versions that create a mini play kitchen - how fun?!). The shop was filled with educational items - engineering, arts/creative, invention toolkits, art history, etc. They also have a small section in the front with quirky items like a mustached baby pacifier. My only reason for holding back on the fifth star was that some of the tchotchke style items seemed overpriced to a point that I couldn't justify spending more for local - for example $17 sunglasses for kiddos.

But the store itself is spacious with good sized aisles and tall shelves. This is a great toy store! They have so many great items, ranging from Star Wars figures, Transformers, NECA, POP figures, G.I. Joe, wrestling figures, and then also high end stuff that you can usually only find online like Sideshow 12 inch figures, Vitruvian Hacks and even Haslab items. We never leave there emptyhanded. The staff are always helpful and friendly too. If they weren't so far away we would frequent them a few times a month!!

This isn't your typical junky collectibles store, everything is arranged neatly, bagged together, priced, and displayed prominently. Prices are MORE than fair on all items.

We follow the store on Instagram now in anticipation of what we my find on our next trip. Can't wait to come back!

Some pros and cons about this shop. I love a good small business and this a cute store in a great…read morelocation. I love that they have craft classes for kids. Cons, they are selling fake Needohs which is for one illegal, and the person working first tried to tell me they were real, and then tried to tell me it was fine that they are doing it. It's not. When you sell something using another company's branding that isn't from the company it's copyright infringement which makes it a counterfeit product and illegal. It's confusing for customers that don't know any better. Not to mention they are double the price of actual Needohs. This bothers me especially because my mother in law came home super excited because she finally found one for my son. I didn't have the heart to tell her it was fake. I'm sure plenty of others are being duped as well. It's disappointing coming from a reputable toy store. Please stop.

Really hard to walk out without any. But "mama won't be happy with either of us if we bring another toy home" works most of the time. Educational stuff, costumes, dolls, goofy little trinkets, big playsets, just so much. Well worth a visit, though maybe come alone and shop for birthdays or Xmas, because if you bring your kid, they are going to give you the business.

Holy. Cow. I…read morehappened to be searching the web for comic book shops and Big Fun came up in my search. As I was already on High Street, I decided to head further south and stop in. Big Fun is located in the Short North so parking is on the street - either in an open space or at a meter. I parked across the street and about half a block away. A beautiful day for a short stroll. This was my first visit (and first hearing of this place). I was compelled to go because a reviewer online has stated that this place, "looked like a comic shop threw up a toy store." How could I not make the trip??? Big Fun is a shotgun-shack type of building so it is not terribly large. That said, there is enough stuff jam-packed into this store that you could fill another store alongside. Maybe two. I have never, ever seen so much nostalgia/kitsch/collectibles/happiness in one spot. It truly was sensory overload. Every direction that I looked (with the exception of the tiny, narrow floor) had stuff displayed. Shelves, cases, racks, counters...you name it. There was even stuff hanging from the ceiling. Before you even enter the shop there is stuff to look at in the windows. A lot of stuff. But inside? Prepare to crane your head a full 360 degrees. That's up, down, and side to side. I visited here on a Wednesday near lunchtime and the place was hopping. Several families inside along with a staff of about 4 or 5. And me. It's narrow anyway but adding about 15-20 people in there really made for some juggling for space. To everyone's credit, we all behaved and played nicely and everyone got to see everything they wanted to. I cannot begin to accurately catalog all that was offered, but here is a tiny sampling of items to delight: action figures, models, bumper stickers, magnets, keychains, dolls, puzzles, games, novelties - retro stuff, too, like you would have seen in the back of comic books or the old Johnson Smith catalogs, Lego body parts, candy, toys...etc., etc., etc. Prices were extremely reasonable and covered the gamut from inexpensive to collectible. A price for everyone! This store is a visual carnival and the staff is fabulous. Chatty, friendly, very helpful. I absolutely must return to look again because I know that I did not see everything. It's like visiting the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. You have to go multiple times in order to see it all. This place is Big Fun, indeed.
