He's close to the house, so ill try again in 6 months. The day I showed up and he was closed may have been the day he was in a better mood.. Doubt it, lol but.... Every small business deserves a chance..See u in 6 months..

So many awesome things such as manga, comic books, anime statues, autographed comics, and more. I really enjoy this place. The pricing is fair. I also noticed that the anime statues are kinda overpriced when I looked them up online but it's fine. I highly recommend this place!

I was downtown looking for a business, and was completely sidetracked by this business instead. Who…read moredoesn't love a good (locally owned) toy and comic store? So obviously I had to stop and check it out. I don't know how long they've been in business, but I also don't know how I've been here so long without ever hearing about this place. This place is much more than a toy and comic store, it's more like a toy collector store / museum. It was really neat and nostalgic to walk through and see all of the toys and collector items from your childhood, they have everything! This is also a neat spot because you may find random items placed throughout the store and it might be just what you're looking for. They also have a small section of clothing. Cool spot and it'd be nice to drop in every now and then to see what new items they've added to their inventory. There are some high price items, but overall everything is priced reasonably well. The gentleman behind the counter was also very friendly.

Prepare to be overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you have to visually navigate. Their shelves are packed and walls are covered. I could have spent all day in here but we had to cut our time pretty short. So I'm looking forward to going back already! They buy and sell everything from older fandoms to the new stuff too. There's something for everyone here.

I'm surprised there is not a review for this place! It's definitely Bakersfield's go-to Pop store…read moreand definitely has some of THE best if not THE best overall selection I have seen. While I've been to other Pop stores with bigger inventory, this place has the best selection I've seen... seriously! The owner, Jim, gets the best Common Pops and even rarer Chases and other limited editions. He also even gets the newest Pops and re-stocks immediately! Not only is he friendly and kind, he is knowledgeable and his prices are definitely fair. He also sells other toys and collectibles and even sells Pop protectors to protect your investment. I also like the fact that he has a BOOB section (it's not what you think, LOL) which contains Pops that have some kind of defect on the box which lowers the price. At least he's being fair and lowers the price! Pretty cool!!! I seriously feel like a kid in a candy store here as I a serious Pop collector/enthusiast. It's always fun coming here and I always end up picking up at least one Pop! Also, be wary of their hours as I believe they open after 5 PM on weekdays and open in the mornings on the weekends. Definitely go support this local store! It's definitely awesome and worth checking out--- especially if you're a Pop nut like me!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

KRRJ Collectibles is honestly my favorite funko store in Bakersfield.

Makes me wanting to keep going back for more to see what he has in stock. He also always has trade ins all the time, some small but others huge ones and posts it on the instagram account. I always keep on eye out for that because most of the time when I'm looking for a rare pop he'll have em on one of those posts. He even allows holds on some funko pops if theres not too many on the floor which is cool. Really nice cool guy to talk too as well, I like how he's very knowledgeable on funko pops. Any question about any type of pop just ask him he'll know.

The owner keeps the expenses low by running it from his house, but he offers a level of service that is so good, it is worth setting up an appointment. His subscriber rate is 25% last I checked, which kinda beats the industry standard. The potential pitfalls here are that there is no way to see what he got in this week, so you are kinda left up to your own to find out what you want and tell him before he makes his initial order. Other than that, it is great if you are the kind of person that knows what they want, and just want to go and grab your stuff.
