The location has improved. Owner was very nice and help rearrange some machines to help my kids win some prizes. Definitely like the changes so far. Adjusting review to 5 stars read more

Top Canvas is a claw machine spot located right next to The District at Tustin Legacy (next to the AMC Theatre). Top Canvas also has other locations (Alhambra, Downey, Torrance, and Milpitas in Northern California) that operate as collectible stores and this is the only Top Canvas location that runs as a claw machine arcade. [Parking]: Easy and free parking at The District at Tustin Legacy. [Selection & Price]: Apparently the shop redesigned their claw machines and prize system in recent months. Players can now trade plushies for points and use those points to redeem more desirable prizes. As for trade-in prizes, they have selected signed Funko Pop figures / giant Pokémon plushies / other generic plushies (25%), blind boxes (50%), and graded Pokémon cards / booster packs / other collectibles (25%). Personally it would be better if they had fewer blind boxes as trade-in prizes and focused more on curated Sanrio plushies or unique action figures. [Point system]: For play packs, $10 = 20 tokens, $20 = 42 tokens, $50 = 110 tokens, and $100 = 230 tokens. Claw machines with numbered stickers indicate how many points each plush is worth and most machines indicate 15 points per plush. Blind box trade-in values range from 45 points to 125 points. [Conclusion]: It is nice to have claw machines with a higher win rate than places like Round1 + the ability to trade plushies for better prizes, but I do think their prizes are not as good as places like Round1. Personally I still prefer other claw machine spots like Infinity Claws in Rowland Heights and I also like Top Canvas's collectible stores better than this claw machine-only concept store. P.S. - Players can ask the staff to rearrange plushies in some machines. read more

A neat place to stop in for some games to win stuffys of every kind. This place is so lit, you don't even need the ceiling lights! With the cosmic, neon glow, maybe even futuristic vibes at this game shop, you might find it fun to catch a stuffy Pokemon, or a Sanrio character, or something for a loved one. This place can be fun, romantic, or just a place to kill time. But there's no doubt, plenty of cuteness in this store. To the left side from the entrance, are the collector cards, trinkets, and anime figurines. This is where you'll catch the staff if you want to check out things behind the counters. read more

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!! We came thinking we would come home with a couple plushys but I was wrong. I spent $ 50 and got 1 little plushy. Over all I will NEVER come back to Top Canvas. If you are looking for a place that you will actually get more than one plushy I recommend to go to claw daddy. read more

Not sure if under new management but we decided to take a stroll and see if any new changes. David was extremely nice and explain to us that they made improvements added more machine. And he was really nice, he helped rearrange some so our kids won some blind box prizes. Had a great experience. Thank you! read more

My son (pictured) has come home. Huge thanks to Madison for making our visit such a blast. She was super bubbly, patient with all my (probably too many) questions, and just made the whole experience extra fun. I'd come back again just for Madison LOL The blind box selection here is also amazing! My friends got a capybara snow globe and a mini Sanrio blind box. Can't wait to come back and try my luck again! read more

This claw machine place is in the pedestrian only section at Tustin District and the staff there was very accommodating. They were willing to rearrange the dolls so my 7yo niece can catch the doll and also they were willing to let her trade when she didn't catch the exact doll she wanted. They also have a lot of blind boxes for sale and the price was very reasonable! My niece was able to catch 3 keychain plushies for only 20 tokens ($10 worth)! read more

Fun and clean spot for claw machines at the District. Pretty decent selection but some of the games require 4 or more tokens (for $20 I got 40 tokens). Also they charge tax on tokens but good that they take credit card! Fast and friendly service and I managed to pick up a few cute items. They also sell some blind boxes as well! read more

One of my friends was feeling a bit down so I was looking for blind box to cheer her up and was fortunately having dinner nearby! The person working immediately greeted us and told us to let him know if we had questions. There was a lot of different options for blind boxes and claw machine finds. We actually found out that we could purchase the claw machine ones at a fixed price without playing the game, which is perfect if you aren't so good at them. I ended up paying $5 for this keychain along with my friend's gift and was very happy! read more

Top Canvas - so cool - Arcades Near Me - Tustin, California

I used to really like this place but it started to do blind boxes that are extremely hard to grab and just other generic stuff. Is this enshittification? :( read more

I think this arcade has some of the best plushies for the price. They have a lot of branded plushies (Sanrio, Mofusand, etc.) and I'm usually able to win something even if I get the cheapest option of $5 for 10 tokens. The workers are always quick to ask if you need help with anything. On my last visit, I got one of the prizes stuck over the plastic barrier and one of the workers opened it for me. I really like how this arcade allows you to trade for the prizes you want. They advise you to aim for whichever plushie is easiest because they'll let you trade for any of the other plushies in the same machine. A lot of claw machine arcades don't offer this option, so I thought this was great. Other than claw machines, they also have several different blind boxes. Some of the more popular blind boxes such as Sonny Angels or Smiskis are above retail price, but they also have other figures that are priced more reasonably. Overall, I enjoy this arcade and it's a convenient place to stop by if you're in the area! read more

At first I thought it was a store that sells merchs but its combination of both Blind box, plushies and Claw machines. I like how this place has all in one and such a cute small arcade for after dinner. Definitely worth more than Round 1 if you really love claw machines, their stuffs animals varies and with $20 you have 46 tokens. Notes: each machine requires minimum 2 token, for bigger/ popular plushies 3-4 tokens. You will win something ( at first we thought that it was too hard to get anything from here) . Eventually we won 4 plushies !!! Lol Based on other comments they also let you exchange? Guess it is similar to Chibi claw machines in SNA. Overall: friendly service and cute fun place to hangout if you are at Tustin district:) read more

Super cute place. Tons of options. The prices are not bad honestly and the amount of tokens to play each game is anywhere from 3-6 per game. All in all the prizes are cute. The place is clean. The staff is helpful. It's def my to go place now to some fun pastime read more

This shop is located at the district. They have so many different cute claw games! Some payout takes way longer. Noticed we worked on a machine for a while and the claw was still weak. We saw many others try on the same machine and the claw was still the same weakness. We spent $20 and got 40 tokens plus 6 bonus extra. We won two mini mofusand keychains. They're super adorable. Took us a good amount of tries though. Each of the machines range from 2-6 coins to play. They also sell figurines. Overall, had a really fun time here! read more

We walked by and went in when the place first opened. We spent maybe twenty minutes walking around, checking out the prizes and noticed that majority of people playing did not win anything. Also, who uploaded all the poorly shopped/AI images of duplicate randos playing here? read more

Usually, the selection here is super good and honestly better than other claw machine places. However, the selection today was a huge downgrade compare to my other visits. The prizes were smaller and seemed a lot cheaper. The claws are hit or miss. Most of the time, they're super weak. Top Canvas is a lot more expensive, costing $1.50 on average to play. The prizes usually reciprocate the higher cost, but not today. The service was super good today! read more

Top Canvas was a cool find and I had so much fun here! I went for the claw machines but I spent so much time looking at all the blind boxes they had. They even have Sonny Angels that looked to be authentic. They were marked up, but were from collections that are currently unavailable on the Sonny Angel website. They also sell opened secrets. And apparently if you get lucky, they have Labubus too?! We spent $20 for 46 tokens, not necessarily even expecting to win anything but to just have a good time. I was really excited that in total, we got 3 mofusand plushies! They have the machines set up where it doesn't feel impossible to win. I've definitely spent more at Round 1 and walked away empty-handed. It's a really fun date/hangout spot! read more

This is such a fun spot to bring anyone who loves blind boxes, claw machines, or general cute stuff! The claw machines are super fun, and the selection changes pretty often. They also seem pretty fair, I always win something when I buy $20 of tokens. The staff was also super helpful and even let us exchange our claw machine prize for a different item in the same machine that was harder to reach! They also have a large selection of blind boxes, even Maltese collections at a reasonable price, which can be hard to find. They also have Smiskis and sonny angels, though they are marked up a little bit. read more

I was really impressed with the selection of their blind boxes. They even had the Popmart Labubu series despite being super popular right now, so they were limiting purchases to one per person. The pricing for the claw machines was super fair, I paid about $10 for 10 coins which got me a decent amount of plays depending on the toy size. I would rate the win rate as more medium to hard difficulty. I was able to nab the Hangyodon which felt like a pretty decent deal! If the win rate were a bit higher I would have played more. read more

Top Canvas is the BEST CLAW MACHINE SPOT EVER!!!! We brought my daughters to celebrate a birthday and the staff at Top Canvas made this is a wonderful and memorable experience. WE all had a blast. They have the best selection of stuffies and blind bags! The claw machines are endless and the customer service was impeccable. Thank you to Tina especially for making our time here so special and fun. We will definitely be back. read more

I love Top Canvas! I solely go for the claw machines, but they also have a lot of fun items like blind boxes and plushies for sale. My review is solely based on the claw machines, which are hit or miss. Since quality of service varies, I'd say my rating is more at a 4.5 First, you need to purchase tokens and the games range from 2-4 tokens. The nicer, licensed prizes are usually 4 tokens and harder to win Of all the claw machine places I've been to, I think this is the only one that charges taxes on the tokens.. which I find really odd. I get that it's a store that sells products, but I don't think tokens should be taxed ‍ Depending on who's working, the staff can sometimes be super helpful. Reminder- you can ask the employees to help reset / reposition the plushies for you. Some employees are more helpful than others when trying to help you win the plushies that you're going for. You can also trade plushies with another item from the same machine. The claw machine difficulties varies. IMO the 2 token machines tend to be easier, but the prizes are usually random non-branded items that I'm not as interested in One of my favorite reasons to continue returning and trying my luck at Top Canvas are the high quality/licensed plushies. My favorites are Mofusand and Rilakkuma, which I think are worth the expense since they are actually licensed products from Japan. While you might not necessarily walk away with tons of plushies each visit, they're definitely better in quality and selection compared to other claw machine arcades in the area. read more

Not a claw machine arcade expert, but have been to my fair share of them with my child and this is what I felt was lacking that led to an overall bad experience. Overall poor customer service. The two people working there were behind the counter chitchatting only acknowledging customers when they came up to the counter. They were not out walking around, checking the machines, making sure the prizes were stacked properly or in a way that would encourage someone to win. Many of the machines were either almost empty or half empty. Along those lines, several of the machines were not working. The the value here is also terrible. Tokens cost approximately $.50 per token, it can be slightly less if you buy in bulk. However, there are no machines less than two tokens per play. Most machines are 3 to 6 tokens per play! There are no self service token machines since they do charge tax for the tokens. The prizes that are won cannot be exchanged for other prizes like many other places will do. This was really disappointing to my child. So a poor value along with poor overall service make for a poor overall experience. Looking at the posted pictures it's as if the owners just stopped trying after the grand opening. read more

Cool place with a ton of claw machines and a variety of different prizes and characters you could win. The workers didn't offer the best service though. I talked to a worker at the front desk and she didn't have a welcoming vibe at all. When they brought out the tokens in a little basket, they called me ma'am and I swear I don't think I'M that old unless that's how Gen Z kids view young millennials now :') As usual, the claw machines are rigged and hard to win and the blind boxes are way overpriced. They charge tax for trading cash into tokens which is unheard of elsewhere. read more

I am absolutely OBSESSED with this place!! Its the perfect spot if you're looking for something fun to do with friends or on your own. For $10 you can get enough coins to play 5 rounds on certain machines (eg. Kirby, Yoshi egg, toad). All the claw machines run between 2-5 coins All the staff members were super friendly and helpful. The place is very clean. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came for the good reviews and it did not disappoint! We really wanted a Magikarp that was under another doll. We asked the worker/owner and they moved it to an easy position for us to win it. I've played many crane machine games and it's nice to have one where we can actually win them! Spent $20 plus tax and got 4 stuff animals. Got lucky too, but great value overall. read more

Spent $100 on 200 tokens. Most machines are weak and drop the prizes when they get to the top. We usually take the kids to kawaii claw where we spend half the amount and walk out with double the prizes. Very disappointing for small children. Save yourself the trip, money and go to kawaii claw. read more

This is another good claw game option in the OC. It is clean and you can even shop for toys and souvenirs in the shop. It's a little smaller than the Kawaii Klaw locations in the OC, but there were good products in the store. It's located in the outdoor District and has a few good food options for the family to enjoy. Parking is across the street in another shopping center. The service was good and employees helpful, though you cannot trade in your winnings for a larger gift. The value is standard, except for the sales tax. Some machines require more coins than others, but you can also win a larger prizes. Definitely not as expensive as how some other reviews have observed. read more

This place is so cute!! when you walk in, not only do they have claw machines but they also have some blind boxes for sale. The environment is super welcoming and engaging but besides that, be prepared to spend! At the register they have different varieties of token prices, $5 + tax for 10 tokens $10 +tax for 20 etc. The machines take around 2-6 coins depending on how big the plushies are but overall its a super nice place to go out for some games, the plushies are cute and high quality!!! read more

NOT HAPPY AND DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! Like other one star reviews I will say the same about the machines, VERY DIFFICULT to win. Stuffed animals are pressed so tight into one another that it's almost pointless to try. Apart from that the cost compared to other places is high. Average cost is 4 coins for a basic plush. Although the quality of some plush toys is better than their blind box labubu. They had the Version 1 labubu, priced what seemed too good to be true and it was. Opened two boxes because we purchased two separately and both were FAKE! We informed the workers that the boxes that were sold as authentic from pop-mart, were not real. The one I bought was scratched up and the fur is literally unstitching. We hoped to be taken care of since it was obvious it wasn't real and we were just told, "they are mass produced and sometimes they have manufactured defects and this could happen. Since it's a Final sale it is not refundable." My son was so excited and was disappointed in the end. I understand sales are final but how fair is it they sell fake products and don't do anything to help you out after selling it as authentic. If you're into claw machines and cool pop-mart products be wary as this place could sell you a FAKE product! I recommend okie dokie in garden grove, great service and authentic products! Only honest thing about the place was one of the workers genuinely felt horrible we got a FAKE labubu and she showed compassion compared to the one that told us it's a final sale and not refundable. If you decide to take your chances and visit this place, be wary! Chances are you'll spend a lot and get ripped off. Owner of the place, DO BETTER! Take care of your clients who want to support your business so it's successful. Don't just use final sale bs to avoid taking responsibility for your bad products. read more

Do NOT go here! They sell FAKE LABUBUS, claiming all items are 100% authentic! Look at the photos attached... they sold us 2 fake Labubus for $37 each! The 1 sales girl seemed genuinely bad that our Labubus was in such poor quality. The other girl who supposedly called the manager, didn't care... kept saying all sales final. The claw machines are also rigged... We spent another $40 on claw machine tokens and only got 3 small prizes. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS! They sell FAKE LABUBUS! Proof that the Labubu is fake: Ears are straight and too spaced out Teeth are jacked up Eyes are scratched Blush is too pink Face is crooked Head turns 360 Hands are a sticky/gummy rubber No QR code on tag read more

Top Canvas was really fun. I really love claw machine arcades and found this one on yelp. I really loved that they also sell a BUNCH of mystery packs and other pop culture items! When i first walked in I was shocked with the pricing and got super excited but then, plot twist, the machines are not $1/token per play like most claw machine arcades. These machines very from 2-8 tokens a machine so just be mindful of that when going and buying tokens. Other than that, awesome spot and cool selection of plushies nd mystery packs/boxes! read more

My 7 year old loves this place. The amount of claw machines is insane! She won lots of items without spending too much.

I went with my boyfriend and the variety of the prizes was extremely good and they had all the cutest and trending plushies! We ended up spending quite a lot though; $70, but came out with 6 plushies which wasn't horrible considering we are not good at claw machines. This was the very first time either of us had ever gotten anything from a claw machine! I think they are tricky but definitely not impossible and the claws grip the prizes decently. 10/10 come! read more
