Nakama Toys is a small, friendly mom and pop store in Chicago's Logan Square neighborhood. The shop is amazing, with a wide and rotating selection across all categories. It carries toys, action figures, collectibles, statues, Gunpla kits, trading cards, and many other cool, nerdy stuff from various anime and fandoms. Customers can always find a hidden gem among the well-displayed and neat items. The place is small but tries to have something for every type of fan. The service is fantastic, with very patient, educational, super helpful, and knowledgeable staff and owners. The atmosphere is refreshing and welcoming, making it a great place to shop for gifts. The shop also has a small selection of interesting snacks and beverages. While some note that online list prices may sometimes be lower, buying locally often avoids shipping costs and supports a fantastic small business. Many customers recommend a visit and consider it their new go-to store.

One of the best stores for anime goods in the city, hands down. The prices are fair and they have a pretty good selection of larger figures and model kits.

Very reasonable prices for S.H Figuarts the lady at the register was very nice and the gentleman on the sales floor was very helpful. They Didn’t mind if you looked at the figures while some places lock them up and you have to guess to see what’s in stock would recommend and definitely coming back
