When I had called for someone, a large dog ( think it was a German Shepherd ) came running out and started barking at me. I was startled but an employee came out and took the dog inside. They said the crime in the area has gotten worse lately in the area and a guard dog helps. I was allowed to go in and immediately a store employee assisted me. He was very helpful in finding what I had wanted. I ended up buying 3 Funko Pops, a Batman, Capt. Kirk and a doctor / nurse figure. 2 of those he was nice enough to find them for me. I do not collect Funko but I bought them as gifts. They have a large selection and good prices. The neighborhood is not the greatest but go there during the day and it's okay Go check them out.

It's been long overdue to leave a review for Tom's Model. Let me start off by saying Tom is one of…read morethe coolest and sweetest guys he's always soo chill and nice. My bf and I loose track of time talking to him in here. Coming into the store is a little overwhelming at first because there is literally pops everywhere you turn, but you are sure to find a pop or two. 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)

(Tried all hobby shops in little Tokyo and other area. No luck). Really surprised to see both of them there at a reasonable price!!! They definitely didn't jack up the price. It's pricer now because they imported it with the new tariff. At least the nendoroid price look reasonable. They got a lot of prize figures from the latest series. Not a big fans of those but they got some brand new release again. Overall a nice shop for people looking for nendoroids.

No food or drinks inside, they have a little area to put your drinks and food on by the entrance. The staff seem friendly and ready to help every time I go here. The store always looks pretty clean inside too. The selection is great and I've even seen some niche series I never thought I'd see. Come check it out if you don't like knockoff merch you might encounter around LT. Prices seem to be pretty fair but I do sometimes pick up something and put it down after looking at the price.

We visit every time they come back and they also had a SEGA one recently. This is located on the ground floor by Anime Jungle. Hard to miss especially since they advertise the hell out of it everywhere and there's a huge banner for it. If you're a fan of Final Fantasy, Nier, Kingdom Hearts, or even Dragon Quest, this popup is a must visit! Some of the items are released early compared to what you see online so this would be the place to get some exclusive merch! Love this place and always a fun visit. IG: @ammysalamii

They've done some high-end, prize-figure, and kawaii collectible pop up shops with some nice collectible bags and other goods, as well as always having cute displays and photo opportunities. They've hosted pop-up maid cafe's with real food being served such as the Oinky Doink Maid cafe themed and collaborated with the Akiba Maid War anime, as well as with local maid cafes, such as Dreamland Maid cafe. The venue is also used for live events, giving a fun and underground feel if you're into indie idols and the such (or if you've seen it in anime or manga). They've hosted live events for local idols/groups and even V-tubers, along with meet and greets or buppan (when you can purchase merchandise and cheki) afterwards! During these events sometimes there's a costume/cosplay contest and open karaoke too. Great small event to have fun at. The workers here are always super friendly too. Perfect event space for weeb-related activities when there isn't a con going on!
