Nice shop with lots of options for blind ones and art canvases, with the pokemon card one catching my attention. Bought a nice bag, a pusheen squeeze and some Needohs. Unfortunately, they didn't disclose or didn't know the Needohs were counterfeits. The 7.99 should have tipped me off but I'm a new buyer of these kind of things.

This place is so healing to my inner-child. Once you enter the room, your life changes. Nothing is the same. If you're looking for sonny angels, smiskis, etc. COME HERE! They have such a variety! You absolutely can't get bored coming in here. The service was amazing as well, the workers at this establishment was checking up on me to see if everything was good.

While shopping for mofusand toys online, my search lead me to Top Canvas. For those of you who love toys and collectibles, this store offers a wide variety of merchandise. Located on the corner of Main Street and Garfield Ave, it is a great place to visit while going for a stroll in the heart of downtown Alhambra. Plenty of great eateries and cinemas in the vicinity as well. A free parking garage is conveniently accessible right behind the shop, in addition to street parking. Although the shop is small, they were able to feature hundreds of items without it being overwhelming. As a newbie to the current line of collectibles, Top Canvas serves as a great introduction to the new trend. As I walked in, a young woman politely greeted me and offered me assistance. Upon request, she promptly directed me to the Mofusand plushies and a wall of keychains. She took down the plushies from the shelves, so I could take a good look at all of them. And then, I spotted one very adorable Hello Kitty plushie holding a strawberry which totally makes a great Valentine's Day gift. For less than twenty bucks, I quickly secured my choice and went on to explore the rest of the shop. The average prices range from $9.99 to $29.99, so you can build up your collections without breaking the bank. Top Canvas is a great place for buying gifts on a budget, as they offer so many cute things for under $20. I also purchased 2 Lokiki blind box plushies as gifts. The gift recipient seems to love it, because it's always fun to open up a blind box. She totally adores her Lokiki plushie. Without a doubt, the highlight of my visit is the wall of Mofusand keychains! At $9.99 each, big or small, these are just too darn cute to pass up. I want them all!! Some of the more expensive and fragile collectibles are showcased behind glass. Great for avid collectors!! Tired of shopping on Amazon like me?? Then support your local business and come to Top Canvas. It's so much more fun to go shopping at a brick-and-mortar store where one can actually physically feel and touch what they're buying.

They have a pretty great selection here. And they utilize the space pretty well cause it feels big. They have claw machines, blind bags, stickers, figures and other anime/manga related items. Prices pretty reasonable too compared to other places and the staff was really hospitable. Thank you!

I've passed by Top Canvas a few times and I thought they only had claw machines from the outside point of view. I was in the area and decided to stop by one evening. To my surprise, Top Canvas sells many items that I would find at Pop Mart! I felt relieved knowing I don't have to drive all the way to the mall just to buy some! For claw machines, they used tokens so you need to exchange cash for tokens at the counter. The lady who works there is very nice. I also asked if I can buy the whole set and you can! I definitely spent more money than I should have. Stop by if you have self control.

My son was looking for smiski while we were in LA. They are these mini glow figures in different poses created by Japanese toy company. The store had them, but it was way more expensive than the other places. They also had a bunch of Japanese toys, plush toys, lots of figurines, and wall art. Both walls are lined with claw machines. Be ready to spend $40 in less than 10 minutes and win nothing. It was a cool place overall, but expensive.

Alisa B.

Reasonable prices and a huge variety of blind boxes! Staff is also very sweet. She checked in the back for more inventory of a blind box that was low in-stock on the floor. I was really grateful and happy with the figures I got. They have Pop-Mart, Sanrio, Lulu the Piggy, Sonny Angels, and more! I can't wait to come back here :)

New claw machine and cute merch shop that opened across the street from the theater! Another neat place to do things when you're in the area for a movie, meal, or stop at Gallery Nucleus. It's well lit, workers are pretty nice, and aside from crane games, they also have anime and cute character merchandise, plushies, and trinkets to purchase, LOTS of blind boxes, and some anime goods as well. At the front they have large statues of Arale, DBZ, and One Piece with some small backdrops for the perfect photo op. Currently, their machines have Squishmallows, various different size and style Mofusands, some strange Korean slug series, and Mario plushies. Nice place to drop by for sure and PS if you follow them on IG you get a small gift (nice pen!).

Such a cool place!! My friend told me about them having a lot of blind boxes and collectibles so naturally I wanted to check it out. It's such a cool little shop! They had a bunch of claw machines which I thought was fun. They had a lot of Sonny angels too! I love that they have so many different types of Sanrio plushies!! I'm definitely going back when I'm ready to do my Christmas shopping for my nieces and nephews!

DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS. Caution: this place sells fake unlicensed goods. Closes 30 minutes earlier than listed time on their window. Two employees just wave and shoo us away from the inside. I tried coming back a different day just to find fake unlicensed goods and overpriced sonny angels. I can't even trust if their overpriced angels are even real. They are not an authorized official retailer according to Sonny Angels website. When browsing the store, employees treat my friend and I like we are thieves always following us around. read more

I prolly wouldn't have an issue with this place if the owner acted like a normal human being. Came in TWICE this past weekend for Sonny angels with my friend. We were so excited to see the good luck series for only $16.99! At least that's what the display said. We buy one and come back for 3 more the next day since our other friend wanted some too cuz that price was so great! When i got home and checked the receipt i noticed that they were not $16.99 but $18.99. When i CALLED, i noticed the line was disconnected. Not just at one store but all. Couldn't get a hold of anyone! So i DM-ed on insta. Started off explaining what had happened and asked if there was a way i could come in for the price difference. Because....thats what usually happens...I've worked retail for 10+ years so i typically know how something like this goes. BUT. His responsei think the owner needs that extra $8-$10 for himself or something cuz idk what the issue is since they are the ones that messed up. He even states it but DOES NOT APOLOGIZE ONCE! If he had AT LEAST apologized for HIS STORE'S MISTAKE...i wouldn't be writing this. but he goes on saying it's not $16.99 it's actually $18.99.but if he can SEE CLEARLY HIS DISPLAY is marked at $16.99...and it's not a PRICE issue it's a STICKER issue LOL BRUH HELLO?! ITS THE SAME THING...knock knock is anyone home up in that brain of yours? And it's final sale...so too late....then he proceeds to tell me for MY OWN INFO....that it's now $21.99 sooooo just wanna know, have you been having this on display for $16.99 and actually charging people $18.99? How long has this been going on cuz that's false advertisement and I'm sure that's a fine lol. And the new price of $21.99 did you just decide to do that since i said something?! And then BLOCKED?! OKAY. LOL. PETTY. DONT SHOP HERE DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PLACE. HAVE A GOOD ONE! KISSES! Ps. Are your workers allowed to try to sell their Sonny's too on the clock? Cuz one of your workers tried to sell us one for i think $15 out of her personal stash? and once we said we weren't interested her attitude completely changed. Like sorry i don't want one that's already opened? read more

I've been coming to this place at least once a week for the last few months to buy blind boxes and to check out the great selection. It was a five star rating before. Unfortunately today as I was browsing, the male employee who usually works there accused me of constantly bothering/talking to one of his employees and said I made her feel uncomfortable. He said he got it on the cameras. I tried to explain it wasn't me but he wouldn't believe me. I never talked to any of the employees except to pay for my things and the last few times I was there, he was the only employee there. He was mistaking me for someone else but made me feel like a criminal! Make sure you get the right person before you start accusing someone. It sucks because I actually like shopping there and spent a lot of money. read more

I was mostly there to check out the selection and see if they specialized in anything unique. Not to say they don't, but it's still a well-stocked store. I was the only customer and enjoyed the classic jazz playing in the background. Pro Tip: Most established comic shops have subscription plans paid annually, or one-time up front. A customer goes through Comic Book Geek to pick their titles and sometimes preferred cover art, and the shop pulls their requests and holds them until the customer picks up the stash.

They accepted cash and cards. While we were at the store, we saw many comic fans coming into the store. They do not allow drinks and food being carried around. There's a table in front for guests to leave them while walking around the store.

* We came here about two months before our baby was due to buy a stroller and car seat…read more * This was the closest baby store to our home, and they carry two of the major brands we were interested in: Nuna and UPPAbaby. * The owner was very kind and let us try out different strollers without rushing us. * She explained the differences in detail and answered all of our questions. * We never felt pressured to buy anything. She was always available whenever we needed help. * We ended up buying the stroller and car seat we liked. * The store may not have a huge selection of stroller brands, but we were only interested in these two brands, so it was fine. * Parking is free with validation, which they provide.

Really Great Store and Hidden Gem I shopped in years every time I visit Los Angeles…read more Staff there is very down to earth and kind. But this store has a variety of selection such as Chogokins, Gunpla, Prize Figs, Construction Kits, Etc... Prices there are very reasonable too, honestly, I prefer going to this store compared to places like Jungle or Robot4Less due to price reasons. I would absolutely recommend this store for those who are in the hobby or starting to get into a hobby.

Hidden Gem Alert!…read more Attention hobbyists and gift givers: Neo Happyland might just be your new happy place. Circumstances brought me to this unique and fun store that is practically hidden on the first floor of what appeared to be an abandoned mall in Chinatown, the Bamboo Plaza. Had I not known about this store and its location before visiting, I probably would not have entered the plaza. Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by Natalie one of the store owners. I then met with Alan, her husband and co-owner. Both were super personable, friendly and knowledgeable. I overheard them conversing about some of the products with other customers in the store. They really knew their product. The store was jampacked with products from floor to ceiling. I was overwhelmed with how much there was to see. There were so many different model kits to choose from (Pokemon, Bandai, Gundam, etc.). They also had figurines, model paint, books, stickers, Gundam decals, Book Nook and Wonderland items, Pokemon Mini Building Blocks, other building blocks, DVDs and other fun items. Everything was well stocked and neatly organized. I appreciated that most of the items were displayed behind glass so that you could see the actual product vs just looking at the picture on the box. Even though I am an adult, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I did not leave empty-handed. :) If you're looking for a wonderful brick and mortar hobby shop with Asian flair, I highly recommend this shop.

I had the absolute pleasure of being assisted by Tiffany during my recent visit, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Tiffany was incredibly helpful, kind, and approachable from the moment I walked in. She made me feel welcome and at ease, taking the time to answer all my questions while offering thoughtful recommendations tailored to my needs. Her warm demeanor and professionalism truly stood out, and it was clear she genuinely cared about ensuring I was satisfied. I highly recommend seeking her out -she's a fantastic!! I'll definitely be back because of her excellent service. Thank you so much again Tiffany!! read more

Owner verbally abuses his customers & workers! He insulted his customers by calling them "cheap" by weighing blind boxes and continued to insult them after paying. They kindly said sorry & put away scales after he said to but continued to insult them by calling them names after purchasing!! Workers are so nice but the OWNER IS TRASH!! He's been seen yelling at workers for not making claw machines harder for people to get & other things. read more

So i went across the street to have lunch then went back at 12:45pm and still the store wasnt open, looked really cool from the outside peeking in too bad they never opened during their scheduled hours online of 12pm that day. read more

This is one of the best places I've ever been to. The prices here for Sonny Angels and the tokens for the claw machines are very reasonable. I've seen Sonny Angels for $30+, but here, they start as low at 15! The people that work here are so nice and friendly.

A great shop with plenty of space to play games with your friends. Everything feels well-kept and…read morethe staff are super friendly. The only downside is that when it gets busy it can feel a bit too much like a loose party. It's sometimes hard to get the staff's attention, especially when checking out items or asking general questions.

Background On Shop: Originally, Pokebox started in Australia (2000). In July 2024, they decided to…read moreopen their first shop in the US, called Pokebox USA. Background On Visit: I attended my first card show last month and decided that I wanted to relive my childhood again. This time around I made up my mind that I'm just collecting. Not playing. Sure wish I took care of my 1999 Jungle and Fossil cards. A lot of those cards are worth a lot of money today. Restroom: Restroom is available Credit Cards: They're accepted, but they'll charge tax if you use them. You'll be able to bypass the tax fee if you pay in cash. Shop Offerings: Shop sells a wide range of trading cards: Pokemon, MTG, Lorcana, Riftbound, Grand Archive, and One Piece. They also buy and trade cards. They also host tournaments. Just go on to their website to see the days and times that they are having them. Website: https://www.pokeboxusa.com/pages/play-events Pricing: Pricing is fair. They base their prices off of TCGPlayer. Location/Parking: Located on Las Tunas Blvd. between Sycamore Dr and Franklin Ave.. Parking can be found along Las Tunas Dr. or in neighboring streets. Ambiance/Decor: Your typical card shop feel with long tables to play with other people or to look at cards in the binders. Service: Service is good. Staffers and owner are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about their products that they sell. Pokebox USA For Thought: Overall, my experience is a good one. I've bought and sold my cards, and would love to patronize the shop again.

After about 10 minutes of obviously looking around, he doesn't ask if I'd like to look at any cards or if I needed help. There was an additional employee behind a computer in the middle of the shop. Both employees were talking and joking with guys at a table playing a game that was across the room (seemed like frequent customers). Finally after the 3rd time walking past the guy behind the computer, he asked if I needed help. I told him yes I'd like to look at a couple of cards. He told me that the other guy would help me (yes, the one i was next to for the past 10 minutes!). I checked out a few cards and noticed the prices they offered were $5-10 more than market value (which is crazy to me after shopping at other card shops in the area and also knowing these guys buy below market). On one of the cards he was overcharging, I told him "oh wow I didn't know the price went up, I thought it had been consistently going down". His response was "well, I offered that price to a guy this morning for the same card and he bought it. So yea...." After looking at a few different cards and noticing their high prices, I told him I was good and left. Sucks because this shop is near where I live and they had a lot of the cards I've been wanting for a while. I'd recommend checking out other local card shops with lower prices and better customer service!

Coming here can be a little nerve wrecking at first because it's not it the best area a little sketchy but it's worth it... Overall we keep finding ourselves coming back because of Tom himself he's good people. (Ps. You have to call the number for them to open the front door)

The staffers are friendly, attentive, and are willing to help you find the cards that you need. Pricing is fair. They use the tcgplayer app to get the price of their cards.

As a middle-aged father looking for a hobby we could share that didn't involve screens or video games, I'd read a bit about Gunpla and decided to give it a shot. What a find! The owner was incredibly helpful and patient with us, taking the time to understand what we were looking for and guiding us to first sets that were perfect for our skill levels. His enthusiasm was genuine, and it made the whole experience fun and welcoming, never overwhelming for complete beginners like us. The prices are very reasonable, which is a huge plus when you're testing out a new hobby with your kid. We both walked out with our own kits, and I have to say, I'm just as hooked as my son! Building these models has been a surprisingly relaxing and rewarding experience, and I'm already looking forward to tackling more complex builds and refining them. I'm planning to return soon to pick up a few more sets for Christmas gifts and to expand my own collection. If you're looking for a screen-free activity to share with your children or just want to explore the world of Gunpla, I highly recommend stopping by this shop. The passion and knowledge of the owner really make all the difference.
