    Vincent D.

    Anime King is a small hobby shop, a lot of people or Yelpers here do not understand that. The problem with society these days is that they wanted to feel like they are entitled to their opinion, and then just because certain things do not go their way; they get hell-bent out of shape because of it. People coming in with the expectation that they would get large retail store experience are greatly misinformed. The staff is not trained in professional interaction with customers; customers should know how to interact with people and be less of a "Karen. " The storefront is where the items that are for sale are located; they might have some additional items in stock, but since it is a lot of work to find them - customers should check their eBay page listing. If you already know what to get, even better - proceed to the counter and ask if they have it - VERY SIMPLE PROCESS! No need to be mad over the interaction, no need to be a hater. If you want to spend your $$$ somewhere else, pretty sure there are TONS of online retailers that can cater to your needs. With that being said, Anime King is a store that tries to cater to Anime culture in general, since it's very broad - sometimes they do not have the latest and greatest, but pricing seems reasonable and they can answer your questions. Staff is willing to answer questions and can share a lot of information, if you are willing to invest in the relationship, ask and be nice. They have Gundam kits, Kotobukiya, Chogokin, for the most part, items that are carried by Bluefin distribution. They have some Sentai and Kamen Rider items - this is a plus. They have some plushes, Figma, Figuarts, and some "cute anime" stuff - but not everything.

    Hidden and unassuming spot, but has great selection of figures and gunpla! Saw Kirby and Boo (Mario) plushies there too. Prices are pretty good. I asked if they carried Beargguys or Petit'gguys, and the cashier brought out what they had in the back. I'm really happy with my finds at this store.

    Horrible customer service. Will not be returning. Didn't want to, but had to give one star.

    Since there is a warehouse in the back of this shop, they can easily get certain things that isn't in the front.

They also have a few small claw machines. Overall a great variety of items to choose from. Prices are very fair for both tokens and merchandise; they're definitely comparable to or slightly cheaper than bigger stores. They also have a trade section for blind buys and a fun game to try for more prizes if you turn in your empty capsules! Plenty of parking in their shared public lot. Very chill ambiance - not too overstimulating but definitely a fun vibe to shop around in. I adore how the owner has decked out the store. My family and I had the best time here. 1000/10 recommend!

We came half an hour before closing, and decided to take a little walk around the shop. The exterior is brightly lit with captivating lights and the machines itself are blinking at you, asking you to spend your money! The prices were consistent and decently priced. Since we were window shopping, we didn't ask for any support but a couple next to us did. The person at the register was very friendly and had wonderful energy! If you're finding a specific toy, this place is sure to have it. I didn't end up purchasing anything tonight since I came from the POP MART in Costa Mesa, but I know where to go when I need to!

    Top Canvas is a claw machine spot located right next to The District at Tustin Legacy (next to the…read moreAMC 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.
