Toy Tokyo

I wish I could come here more often. Many will come for the blind boxes but the real reason this place shines is because of the new and vintage toys in the glass cases. Most new stuff is priced at MSRP (20$ for most super7 reaction figures) and other older stuff seemed fairly priced, and many other toy shops have crazy markups but that isn’t an issue here. Good selection of the more modern “art” sofubi- I didn’t see any vintage sofubi Godzillas though. If you need a break from the harsh cold definitely stop in and look for a while.

The place might be small and compact, you might even bump into things when you turn around, but it’s a place to visit for all kinds of toys. I am much if an old school comic person. I found an awesome a cast version of the Ghost buster car. Over all I was very happy in visiting the spot.

If you love blind boxes, this is the place to go stock up for gifts for yourself and others. While I could not see the latest trends, I did see many of what I have been looking for from the last couple of years. The prices are very reasonable, staff is very friendly and so many things from the past. Store is small and tight so go during non peak times to shop at your leisure. Highly recommend. Will be visiting again to stock up on old favorites.

This store was super neat and had a great selection of items! The keychains were especially adorable. Some products are locked up, so you’ll need to ask the cashier to open the case, but they’ll hold the items for you at the register. They had a nice variety of Smiskis, and while they usually carry Sonny Angels, they only had hippers during my visit, which were kept behind the register. You're almost guaranteed to leave with something cute!

There’s really no negatives to be found here. Pricing is subjective though I personally think prices are very reasonable and comparable to anywhere else you might find you collectibles. The space is packed to the brim with all sorts of toys not old and new. It was hard not to walk out of there with boxes of goodies. From floor to ceiling you’ll find something you want or didn’t know you wanted until you saw it there. Despite how big it is already, they have a basement floor filled with anime model figurines. If you can only check out one toy shop in the city, Toy Tokyo is the one.

Amazing little store stocked with an amazing amount of Asian type toys. My 20 something daughters were over the moon for pictures of this store and I ended up getting them a few things that we wouldn't ever be able to find anywhere else. They will be visiting nyc themselves and one of their first stops will be to this store!

Phenomenal toy / collectibles shop with an incredibly wide selection of items spanning two floors. One of the memorable parts of our visit to the East Village, we picked up quite a few unique little souvenir gifts.

a must see for trinket lovers! please keep in mind the store is in a tight space and when looking at the blind boxes you will be back to back with other customers. prices are decent on most items! unfortunately, they were sold out of sonny angels but i made sure to grab a few smiskis :)
