We stopped in here on a whim when we were gift shopping. Our first thoughts after walking in were…read morewow, what an awesome place to shop for toys! If you have kids on your list, whether it's for birthdays or Christmas, this is a one stop store. The selection of toys you'll find here is not the same as other places that carry the 'same ol toys' and this is what makes this toy store unique! What I liked was, we weren't hounded by anybody or followed around the store. We leisurely looked around the entire store and had to decide from everything that we considered a possibility. I did do a couple of price comparisons, and actually this place was less expensive on a couple of those items than what Amazon had them selling for. Whether you're shopping with your kids or you're just a kid at heart, this is a nice toy store with many possibilities of finding that special gift for that special someone! You'll be pleasantly surprised like we were at the vast selection of toys, puzzles, games, Legos, STEM toys, stuffed animals and more for all ages!

The amount of toys from…read morethe 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's is insane...you will definitely feel the nostalgic vibes walking through the store. The owner is great, she will probably have a piece or two from any toy collection you can think of. She's always helpful and typically cuts you a deal For the value, hands down the best spot to grab a few vintage pieces from your childhood or those couple McDonalds toys your kids were looking for! The prices are very reasonable, even for sealed figures. She even has a "$1 bucket", which is a whole basket of happy meal toys and trinkets; as many as you can fit in one sandbox size bucket for $1! She takes donations as well, so any old toys you have laying around- instead of the trash, bag it up and donate it here!

They have so many comics and tons of toys for a variety of fandoms like Funko, DC, Marvel, wrestling.

Highly recommend this business and will definitely be back!

Oh Funky Town Toys. I've been a patron of this awesome store for a few years now. I first went into…read moretheir location on Hayes and Hall Rd. (they have moved since then) to snag some free comic books on Free Comic Book Day. I've been coming back ever since! My son loves to collect Star Wars action figures. I am also a child, so I love to browse and buy the occasional trinket or toy. The old location was a little small and tucked away in a relatively crowded strip mall on the bustling intersection of Hall Rd and Hayes. The drive there was frustrating enough to limit my appearances there. They have since moved to a new location...terrifyingly close by. Now it's super convenient to visit the new store. The strip mall they moved to is much less busy and the location is way easier to spot from Van Dyke. The interior of the store is jam packed with lots of collectibles. They have a variety of wrestling, GI Joe, Star Wars and Funko Pops to name a few things. There's so much more there too (like superhero themed comic books). With as much stuff as Funky Town Toys has, the inside of the store is quite clean and spacious. It's always a pleasure to walk around and look at all of the potential money I can spend on stuff! If you're into old and new action figures and collectibles, you should take a stroll into Funky Town Toys. There's lots to choose from...and if you're looking for something in particular...just ask and they will talk with you...and maybe they can find something for you. Seriously...I love this place. They always have a huge selection and the staff are incredibly nice. They also know a ton about collectibles. There's a parking lot right out in front of the store, but if it's full, there's a small public parking lot right around the corner! I did the ground work for you...now you have no other excuses. Go check them out. Thanks! Brian S.

The staff is great, both guys were very helpful and talented demonstrators of various tricks. I mentioned how familiar all the props seemed from when I used to visit a little magic shop in Ferndale in the 1970s owned by Romeg the Magician and then Poof! As if by magic they pointed to a photo behind the counter and told me that this store was in fact the second reincarnation of that very magical place from my childhood, transported to Clawson 40 years later. What an amazing coincidence that I should take my nephews to buy tricks at the same place that made me fall in love with prestidigitation all those years ago. I bet that some of the items lining the walls were actually the same props from all those years ago. If you love magic this is the place to go.

While I genuinely appreciate Ollie's for its exceptional deals, I must express my concern regarding…read morethe staff's attitudes. During a recent shopping trip, I encountered a situation that highlighted this issue. As I was in dire need of using the restroom, I inquired about its location. To my dismay, I was informed by a disgruntled employee that there were no public restrooms available. Recognizing my urgency and the imminent risk of incontinence, a female employee intervened and kindly requested that I be allowed to use the restroom. Despite my gratitude, the employee remained dismissive and turned away. Subsequently, he contacted another employee via walkie-talkie to unlock the restroom door. In a state of panic, I rushed through the store, nearly damaging my clothing due to the prolonged nature of my urgency. It is perplexing that there are multiple stalls in the restroom, yet no single toilet is accessible. I suspect that this may be attributed to a lack of concern for customer needs or a preference for avoiding unpleasant situations. However, there are effective ways to address such issues. It is unacceptable that I had to endure such discomfort and distress(tears) in a shopping center to get help. Apart from this incident, I had no other complaints about the store.
