“This place is amazing! I binge watched all 4 toy story movies with my 2yr old daughter in 2 days and the first thing we see is Buzz Lightyear as soon as we walked in. Instant purchase among other great items they have as well as pre-orders. Coolest owner as well, always a pleasure doing business.”
“So happy I visited here! It's the perfect stop for wall-to-wall horror memorabilia and horror art from real local artists. Best of all, the staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about horror movies as well. Looking forward to my next visit!”
“An excellent selection of gunpla (and other model kits), model building supplies, import toys and snacks - it's 4 of the 6 reasons you left the house today. To top it off they are friendly and super helpful. I wanna go back tomorrow!”
“Very helpful when trying to sell my things to them. Unfortunately for them and me that they couldn't schedule me in to get my stuff. Had a lot of things to get rid of”
“When I returned to Chicago for the first time in a long time, I found that Lincoln Avenue was abandoned, but Rotofugi was still alive and well.This store has character products, making it feel like you're in Harajuku.There are also Hello Kitty and Japanese products, but now the store mainly sells goods made by an Italian called Tokidoki with Japanese influences.The clothes are cute too.A while ago, there was an event by an artist in New York, and I bought a painting.I hope that someday it will be as valuable as Basquiat.”
“This is the 3rd place I’ve been looking for and the closest thing I have found to my nostalgic 90’s comic book store I grew up with. A place where staff- get this actually interact with you. It’s refreshing- they have great stock, the name is badass, & the vibes are great.I love that the first time I was in the store and Wes Anderson’s, Fantastic Mr Fox was playing and the quote “But In The End, He's Just Another Dead Rat In A Garbage Pail Behind A Chinese Restaurant." was muttered in the background. I chuckled and contained on to enjoying every moment I was in there. Keep it up guys!”
“Christine was the sweetest, warmest person. Even with as much random stuff they have she knew exactly where the item was! The most amazing experience! So happy I stopped in!”
“I like this store as a grown up and my 5 year old always wants to come back since he first visited a couple years ago. They seem to update the inventory constantly and have a good selection. Usually there are loose pieces that anyone can play with in the store, which is fantastic.”
“I have shopped here for my granddaughters for years and they always have a very large selection of education and fun toys. Gift wrapping is for free and the prices are very reasonable. Because the Cicadas are coming I bought bug magnifying glasses and journal. Great customer service. Thanks Vernon‼️”

“This is just the loveliest of stores! The owner is spectacular and provides the best shopping experience for guests. I wish every store was like this one!
Shop here for gifts for kids and friends. All gift items are brand new and the clothes are sold on consignment. I saw many brand new items and the prices were incredibly reasonable. They have a little bit of everything for your family.
They also offer gift wrapping and shipping.
A true gem of the neighborhood!”
“Fantastic toy store with reasonable prices, excellent variety, and a unique selection of interesting finds! Over the holidays, I went in shopping for 5 kids ages 1-8 and walked out with something for each of them. 10/10 recommend - especially their books selection!”
“Great place to dump your trash toys . They may even give you a few bucks for them if you are lucky ? . Cool independently owned vintage store aka not so small businesses . So many amazing things and memories all in one place . Bigger then it looks from outside. Make sure to look everywhere .”
“A humble yet extraordinary culturally robust community center. An absolute Chicago gem. Teresa and Pablo Are generous visionaries devoted to keeping Pilsen culturally authentic as their space consistently gives local artists, authors, creators an opportunity to expand their work. Places like Pach keep Pilsen’s heart pulse alive.
Took moment to drop in as there is no charge and you will see pics artist arts and crafts and some for purchase.
Hot tips: Take a walk around the neighborhood and enjoy all the murals! Looks for the mural Loteria doors that are all around.
Make sure to stop by Cafe Jumping or Urban Treez (next door) for a latte and or meal.
Take a walk to the historical Rudy Lozano Library.
Take a drive to the National Mexican Museum and have a picnic at the park adjacent to it.”

“Excellent selection of toys for babies to older kids. Some educational products as well. Huge selection of Calico Critters! Great selection of stuffies! Friendly, knowledgeable staff ready to assist you in getting the right items for your kiddos or for party gifts!”
“This place was STACKED, absolutely jammed with great stuff. I could've been in there for a longer time, but they were doing good business that day so I had to get in and out. I got way more than I thought I'd want to get. The prices are exactly what I had in mind. The owner was really friendly. Extra points (six stars, if I could) for his kindness to my dog. I just happened to be walking by and didn't have anywhere to put him and he's too little to tie up. I asked the owner if I could just hold onto my dog. The owner said yes, of course, and was super-nice and funny about it. I'll be back sans dog to spend more time in there. Thanks so much.”
“Play had a game in stock that I wanted to get for my granddaughter but I couldn’t get there for a couple of days and they had only one of them in stock. The clerk said that they would gladly hold it for me until I came in a couple days later. When I came in to pick it up the game was set aside for me in back of the counter with my name on it and as always they were very friendly and offered to wrap the toy as a gift if I wanted. Their service and selection is consistently excellent and that is why Play is my first choice for toys, games, and books. I further believe that small businesses, that provide relevant products and services, and deliver excellent customer service, are important in building the foundation of a healthy and viable community. Play is one of those excellent additions to our community and they have earned my business. I would highly recommend!”
“My husband and i sort of wandered in (i didn't think it was open since you can't tell from the street) but we got buzzed in and WOW was it worth it, an amazing collection, some of which my husband recognized from his childhood with plenty of toys and models with all sorts of themes. GREAT stock of Horror stuff and a super friendly lady at the counter. We will absolutely be back, this place is a hidden gem and well worth the trip on a rainy Satuday afternoon.”
“This is my go to spot for baby shower and first birthday gifts. You’re always guaranteed to find something from their selection of baby clothes and toys. I appreciate their return policy and adore their gift wrapping!! I also love how they highlight local designers.”

“I love this store! I’m amazed at the variety of toys and books they manage to fit in there, for every age. Such a fun visit with friendly staff, and my son loves to play with the train set they have set up in there.”
“Seemed like a really solid neighborhood comic shop.Owner knew his stuff and knew half the people coming through the door by name. Had 3 separate hiccups in my purchase, but felt like a bad coincidence. Not my neighborhood, but bet it'd be cool to be a regular here.”

“If you have questions on baby gear ask for Brutus. He’s WONDERFUL- so helpful, knowledgeable, and practical. Made expensive and overwhelming decisions so much easier!”
“Its so nice and cozy in there, and there's a wide variety of candy choices for incredibly cheap. Your able to get multiple pieces of candy for a $1.50. The owner of the store is so nice and sweet, and she overall makes the place so much better. For sure my new favorite candy place, and I will be going again. I recommend this place to any candy lovers.
Kid-friendliness: the owner is a literal sweetheart to any kids. I love her so much.”

“I went here with my boyfriend to trade in consoles and games for a new Xbox. I believe the person who helped us was named Marcos and he was so helpful with getting the trade-ins and saved us some extra money with a membership and pre-ordering a game. He was so kind and helpful we’ll definitely be back at this location again!”

“I was just visiting Chicago and looked for a game shop and felt like I was walking to my own game store. Everyone was super friendly. The store was PACKED with great stuff and I love the wall of magic cards! While this won't be my local store I will be using them for singles my local ship doesn't have for the future”
