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)

They do consignment as well which are located on the cases in the front of the store. BIG, HUGE caution is the location of the place. Be careful when going there.

I'm so glad I did.From the moment I walked in, I felt inspired. Every aisle has its own creative art installation, making the store feel like an art gallery as much as a supply shop. Everywhere you look, there's something imaginative that pulls you in and reminds you why creativity matters.I absolutely love creative people. They make our world more beautiful in every possible way, and this store celebrates that spirit. Whether you're a professional artist, a hobbyist, or someone looking to try something new, you'll find endless inspiration here. Every shelf is packed with possibilities just waiting to become someone's next masterpiece.Support the arts. Buy the supplies. Create something beautiful. Trust me--this is one of those places that's worth wandering through, even if you didn't know you needed it. five stars

(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.

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.

The reason why I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 is because of a bad experience today with the door person. We came in today, July 19th around the afternoon, about 3-4 PM. I understand their bag policy, it sucks but what can you do. We were very compliant with the doorman, but he seemed to have an attitude. Listen man, I get that it's hot and you may be having a day, but that doesn't mean you get to be rude. We went in, and immediately he needed to take our bags. We complied cause it's policy, and I politely told him "oh I have a small bag!" As in to tell him we have another bag to give him. He took it the wrong way and said "trust me I don't want to take it more than you do" under his breath. Buddy, I can hear you. I didn't even say it in a rude way, I'm just informing you that there was another bag. Whatever, we handed all our bags over, one of which was a bag carrying some merchandise (mainly some posters we purchased from another event we came from) mind you, there was 4 posters from a limited time event in there, worth $65. He asked "what's in the bag" all judgmental, like buddy, I get you need to know so you know where to place it on the shelf, but there is such a thing as asking in a nicer way like "is there anything delicate in here" or such. I told him it was some posters I had got. So. TELL ME WHY THIS GUY PUT THE BAG WITH THE POSTERS LAYING FLAT DOWN FIRST AND THEN PROCEEDED TO PUT OUR HEAVY BACKPACK AND OUR SMALLER BAG ON TOP OF IT. BUDDY. YOU ARE USING A METAL RACK SHELF, AND PUTTING HEAVY ITEMS ON TOP OF PAPER. SOME OF IT WAS EVEN ON THE EDGE SO YOU'RE ACTIVELY CREASING AND BENDING MY BELONGINGS. Anyone should know if you have anything fragile like posters, you would put it on top of the other bags so they do not get folded or creased or get and indents. I quickly told him if he can put the bag with the posters on top because I don't want them to get creased or bent. He doesn't say anything and just quickly does it, but he made a face. Buddy, if you don't like your job or can't do it well enough to know common sense like not putting delicates under heavy items, quit and go find something else, and leave your attitude at the OUTSIDE the door. I went home after this, and saw that all of four of my posters were creased in the same spot, coincidentally the same spot that was bent over the edge of the shelf. I don't care if they're posters and they can be replaced, not everyone has the luxury to replace broke items, especially not limited ones, I spent my hard earned money on it for it to be permanently ruined by some boy who doesn't care about other people's belongings despite being entrusted to handle them. Anyways, come for the merch! But maybe leave your valuables someplace where you know they'll be safe from damage.
