We had a great time looking through the selection of action figures, toys, funko pops etc. My son was in heaven! This is tuly a collectors paradise (inside the mall)! read more

Customer service is terrible. I've been 3 times. The individual in the shop was rude and not carful with the items I was wanting to buy. Asked about selling things to the store, he said they hardly buy stuff and it's not worth his time. In a lapse of judgement I brought in a few things and was offered $25 for what easily can be sold for over $300. Some of the hot wheels they sell go for more than $25. Will never return and recommend nobody wastes their time in here. Plenty of other local stores to go to for buying and selling, your business is seen as a detriment rather than welcomed. read more

This stop had been on the Mr's list to visit for months now. I LOVE taking a trip down memory lane to my childhood and this totally did it for me. I love to just look it's so cool to see what they had there. The store isn't that big but we were in there for almost an hour. They have all the old toys you could think of: GI Joe, Hot Wheels, Funko Pops, Dolls, He-Man...you name it, they had it. The owner, was very cool. Heard him greet every person that came inside the store. The other person there working (forgot his name!) was also super friendly and knowledgeable. He had equal conversations with my brother (loves wrestling) and the Mr (who is all about Gremlins - they have some really, really cool puppets in the store. I am sure if we didn't leave when we did, that one of them would have came home with us. For now, just gives a reason to make it back to this store. Thanks for the trip! read more

So from the jump I was excited. A store that literally had every piece of nostalgic toy i ever had. I was excited. However that excitement changed to annoyance very quickly and i'll explain why. I went to the back area where the owner was with his friend. Now i'm clearly in front view of them. Not one word to me at all. I make my interests clearly known im liking what i see. Nothing. A girl walks up and is instantly greeted, all smiles, etc. he clearly wants to help the girl out. So i guess the owner is a little perv who will only help out if you have T&A. Was ready to drop some big money but since you didnt't give a crap because i was a man, i'm going to tell everyone that this place is garbage. Unless they send in their wives and girlfriends to buy for them. Only one star because the other guy behind the video game counter actually asked if i needed anything but only after about 15 min. Service standards are non existent anymore i guess read more

I was driving down Water St when a toy sign caught my attention. I did a U-turn and found myself a good parking spot right across the way. Upon approaching, one of the toy shop's (loyal) customers guided me and casually introduced me to the shop and the nice-person-behind-the-counter. The shop was full of you-name-its, exciting little finds provoked happy childhood memories. I found a big bird figurine and a turtle pencil topper and would have purchased more had I not been close to broke. Furthermore, when I was ready to check out I asked for a general direction on where downtown was (because my phone service was down and I'm directionally challenged). Not only did the nice-person-behind-the-counter point me in the right direction--they also drew a nice little map with reference points! Super cool. Later on, before the sun was setting, I got to take a photoshoot of big bird in a big yard. Made my day. read more

My boyfriend & I were visiting from out of town & he wanted to go toy hunting. It was a little confusing trying to find Hadbro Toys, so for future visitors, they're located inside Capitola Mall. They had a cool selection of vintage & current toys, video games, & art. The owners were really nice & I silently geeked out while one of the owners talked about some of the movies filmed in Santa Cruz & surrounding areas including The Lost Boys & Killer Klowns From Outer Space (some of my fav movies). I wasn't looking to buy anything, but once I saw a 1985 Cabbage Patch Kids doll, I instantly turned into a little kid growing up in the 80s. I always wanted one but my Mom said they were too expensive. I ended up buying it at a decent price considering it had never been taken out of the box. I walked out of the store hella happy! Thank you for making my childhood dreams come true, Hadbro Toys! We will definitely be back when we are in town. read more
