Great place to find unique collectible figures. Their online shop is awesome as well. A little overpriced, but I'd still shop here again though, because it's the only place that sells "Pucky Babies"?

I love stopping in everytime I'm in the area. This time, I got a matcha-tea boba fidget toy that I couldn't live without. Love this spot!

Other Information
Parking: Street
This Lincoln Park destination, besides being one of the only designer-toy shops in the Midwest, has gained a reputation for being one of the best designer-toy shops in the world. It stocks a wildly diverse selection of vinyl figures and pop-culture collectibles from creative brands across the globe, including Kidrobot, Funko, Tokidoki, and Amuse. Still, it's their ?blind box? toys that sell fastest-customers don't know which toy in a collection or series they're buying until they open the box post-purchase. The shop's other areas come with surprises, too: An adjacent gallery houses artwork, and its 1,000-square-foot space is available for private events (when it's not hosting monthly BYOB Drink n' Draw parties).
