Review №1

I visited the Westminster Mall yesterday after what had been 3-4 years ago. I remember walking into this store for the first time and being amazed by the whole area being an anime lovers paradise. Coming back felt so nostalgic and even though I took my sweet time to look around, the lady working there was super patient and kind. I collect figma so I decided to buy Figma Hinata Shoyo and the lady immediately told me I could save 10% if I paid with cash. Keep in mind that the store does this for all vinyl figures! I love that she also was a big fan of Haikyu!! too as we had a nice chat about it (She wore a Hinata Shoyo jersey shirt and I was wearing my haikyu!! shirt too :D). Also I really respect that they let you know which shelves contain bootleg figures which they sell for cheaper and then has a whole stock of official products for collectors like me. I will be coming back here everytime I visit the Westminster area, check out how much fun I had with my fav orange boi down below~ ^-^

Has a wide variety of figures, nice staff, and organized store, however.. most of their stuff is very pricey and although not noticeable at first, they have bootleg figures on the shelves for an insane price.

If you are going into this store you definitely need a reason. Seems like a lot of comic book items and anime but very nice and clean inside. Staff was nice and greeted me while I was there but sometimes when a store doesnt get enough traffic it makes me unfortable and makes me feel like I should buy something

Best anime store ever! I almost screamed when I saw a wall scroll of Hetalia! And Im a huge fan of Hetalia! But the sad part is that they dont have Hetalia figures of Russia.

This store is my #1 recommendation for people who are into anime and like to shop in person. Ranging from plushies, clothes, wall scrolls/ poster, figurines, cosplay items. The range is quite big, and in many prices. You can definitely find something in your budget. :)I’ve depended on this store for anime merch, because it feels more safer to buy, and the staff is very nice. The atmosphere is very calming, and that helps with looking around for items.i’ve spent a large amount of money there, and i’ve never been unsatisfied with my purchases, even after 4 years :)

I love this shop and the owner who works there is really nice and quite knowledgeable about the items that she sells. Most stores feel like they have a lot of the same things so its great to come here and browse to look at all the fun, and unique items for sale

Pretty shady for the figures.Bootleg figures displayed as unofficial, and they were turned inward to prevent customers from looking too closely at their quality, although you could handle them. Bootlegs sold at retail price for the actual figures ($35-45), but the bootlegs themselves cost only $10-15.

Very nice gift shop with a wide range of stuff. They have a decent amount of Precious moments as well as a few other brands of ceramic statues. They have a small assortment of Neca figures the are just over price point. There is a ton of anime models and figures.

I will buy the toys for the nephews at that store when they reopen ( didnt order toys online) so we need to help them! The owner has always been sweet and super nice. Always adding free sugar free gums, adding a few $1-2 discounts. Got to help.They have gundam kits, pokemon pens and backpacks, I ve bought a few dragon ball figurines for bdays, lots of keychains. They have saint seiya, naruto, and a 1000 more figures to choose from.

When sorting through T-shirts with my friend the lady at the front came to the back and yelled at us for touching the clothes. We were simply trying to see the print of a T-shirt that was not openly displayed. The prices are too high and the service is terrible, will never go there again.

I’ve been to this store many times and they are very friendly. It’s my favorite because I love anime and marvel stuff so it has many things for me to look at and buy I recently bought an infinity gauntlet coin dispenser and I couldn’t be happier. It was very well priced too. I highly recommend this store

Awesome store! Their real imported figures are really high priced, but they do have a nice collection, many are pretty hard to find. The mangas are priced nicely most of them about 7$

I love small wonders. Im a huge love live fan so my friend recommended the place since you can only find (somewhat) a lot of love live merch in little tokyo. I go to this place almost every week. Just about two days ago I got a Kurosawa Ruby figure for only $40! In japan those figures are almost $100. Most of my love live shrine comes from small wonders. I highly recommend going there. And if they say you cant return it, its because they have a strict policy. You should have also checked before buying your item.

A great shop with lots of variety for any anime fan to be able to find something they would want to take home. Ive bought two Gunpla kits from them in the past week and the service has been great. Nice people who are up for talking to you about what youre buying, if you ask.

Love this store! The employees are friendly and extremely helpful and they sell awesome stuff at competitive prices. Awesome stuff includes figures, plushies, bags, wallets, keychains, t-shirts, pretty much any type of gift, featuring American comic and video game characters as well as Japanese anime... Weve shopped here mostly for Mario items and fidget spinners, but its always so much fun to browse.They often give you free Hi-Chew candy (like Starburst but way better) upon checkout.

I bought some squishies and they were deformed. They weren’t painted well, and they had deformities. They also had cuts in them that look like they were purposely placed. And to top it off, they were pricey AF.
