The Giant Robot Store, which opened in 2001, is a manifestation of the Giant Robot Magazine that ran from 1994 to 2010. This small store offers a well-curated selection of pop culture goods, including blind box toys like Sonny Angels and Smiski, as well as art prints, cards, stickers, and pins from local artists. The store also carries a range of cool shirts and fun home goods, along with the full Giant Robot line of shirts, caps, and Sawtelle-themed merchandise. While some customers find the selection a bit limited for the space, the store is considered an iconic destination for anime art, Japanese pop art, and other unique and collectable items. Visitors are encouraged to text the store at 424-246-7626 with any questions.

Amazing store with a great selection from local to bigger artists. Love the zines. Picked up some older tomica cars, a postcard set, and a small print. There's street parking but may take a while to find; totally worth it! Will be coming back for future shows at the giant robot 2 (gallery) across the street.
