They have some older slabbed keys, a small graphic novel section, selection of back issues, weekly incentive variants, some SideShow statues, an entire wall of Funko Pop! figures. This is not your average local comic shop. They have artists signings, you have to call and find out when. They have a partnership with Jonathan Uribe; Steve is a CGC SS liscenced witness for Jonathan Uribe so you can get the yellow label. As for their exclusives: They produce dozens of store exclusive variant covers from the most talented artists in the business like Jonathan Uribe. Some of their covers are on Covrprice.com. Their hottest exclusives are Pokémon covers called Pocket Monsters. You can buy their exclusives at comic conventions like NYCC Con and SDCC or on their website. They sell out fast! Jonathan Uribe draws many beautiful Spawn exclusives for them. Insane Gunslinger Uribe exclusive, metal has a print run of 10! And Absolute Batman exclusives! The owner Steve relaxed, cool and welcoming. Dan is also very friendly. Thanks my LCBS, Collector's Cave! In my life as I've moved I've had many LBCS. Collector's Cave is the best one I've ever had.

The store is stocked with pops and toys and things that you can't find in other places. What I love the most is you can look at there stuff and they don't tell you not to touch anything.

Royal Collectibles is the gem of Forest Hills and perhaps Queens. It's a comicbook shop you want…read moreto be a part of. A shop where you know everybody's name and they're just as excited as you are when you talk about collectibles. The owner Mike is the all knowing comic guru, Bob the man you go to when you want to know what's hot and read-worthy, Diane who handles all the logistics and keeps the shop running, Michelle the Funko Queen, Tommy the master of wrestling and Dragonball, and finally Jordana their newest crew member. You walk in and you're immediately hit with a basement/attic air, the kind where there are thousands of books to sort through, statues of all kinds, toys from every era, and a knowledgeable staff waiting to share their passion. Their hours are still limited right now because of COVID so only 5 people are allowed at a time in store. They also do live sales on IG every Wednesday around 630pm EST of the week's newest releases and occasionally Funko and key issues. This is one of the local shops I come often, maybe 2-3 times a month and I spend an embarrassing amount of money here. But I'm happy to because we should support the local shops and people we love.

The store itself is tiny--feels more like a closet. They do have a decent variety of anime merch and a few unique items at fair prices. But the place is unbearably hot and muggy, like a sauna, and looks like it hasn't been cleaned in months. On the bright side, the girl working there was really cute and super friendly, which helped balance things out a bit.

Owner Carole is often working inside with 1 rotating staff member, mostly organizing the shelves. The selection is very much Melissa & Doug's active catalog and Hatley branded footwares along with a smattering of other goods like Mad Libs, some trinkets, and . Pricing is an issue as obviously all customers know Amazon and online retainers of preference (eCommerce offers tons of membership, loyalty and affiliate shopping, wider selection, Walmart offers next day delivery free to metro NYC, etc.) thus seeing the prices like Melissa & Doug's Frozen Treats for $34 here vs $19 online or Wooden Sushi set for $26 vs $15 online are a problem. Likely customers are from nearby StuyTown or working at the many local medical institutions and businesses in Kips Bay thus of normal incomes thus likely to do as such. The staff visibily disprefer children play for beyond 30mins else they'll actively suggest one leave. It's likely to quell previous problem situations and to maintain an open floor space devoid of children. It's good thus for a quick blow through without the kids to get ideas then to move onto better priced retailers as most customers seen while there seemingly came in to spectate then cruise out without purchase. There're event spaces in the rear, namely a doored room of about 80 ft2 and the front area which can be closed to retail and converted to a large sitting area where the kids playareas are easily moved and removed. Posted are a schedule of events along with flyer advertising from area children's-related businesses.

The biggest draw is the huge selection of blind boxes, including their adorable Nommi characters, plus plenty of Sanrio and Disney merchandise. I also liked that they display sample figures so you can see what you're buying before taking a chance on a blind box. Beyond figures, there's a good selection of plushies, keychains, and other small collectibles. The store gets crowded, but the layout works well and the staff stayed friendly and helpful. A fun stop for collectors or anyone looking for a unique NYC souvenir that's more interesting than the usual tourist gear, The only issue I had is the stupid New York scaffolding that makes the shop hard to find and see.

The place is small but still packs a lot of items from toys, plushies, stationery, games, electronics, and more. I am sure the place will be a hit with tourists who don't have these Japanese, or Chinese stores where they come from and the location is better than the flagship store. The place is perfect if you got kids because there is so much to see here.
