Buddy and I we're on our way to Frozen, the Musical, in Hollywood, right on the Walk of Fame, for I think the second time. We parked on the street and began to walk. Buddy started pulling on my hand and dragging me to a store I had never seen. He had never seen it either but it was covered with cool lights, and it was huge and it turns out it was a huge toy store, right next to where we usually stop for a snack before going to the Pantages. The place is called Funko Pop! and it is amazing. There are all sorts of Pop! dolls, collector items, stuffed toys and other toys mixed with gigantic replicas of movie and cartoon characters. We could have easily spent two hours in there. Buddy looked around, his eyes all lit up and he was so happy. He looked at all the offerings and saw all the replicas and asked if we could come back later. I told him we would come back every time we went to the Pantages. The service at Funko is great, everyone is just a huge smile and they know everything about these life-size, and bigger, characters and from which movie or cartoon or comic book they come. It is great for kids of all ages and I saw quite a few adults buying these Pop! characters. You will love this place. It is at least 1/2 a City block big, and you can take photos on the characters and there is a lot of space. It is a museum in a toy store. If you are on vacation, this is a must stop in Hollywood. There are only two of these store fronts at the moment. The one in Hollywood and there is also one in Washington State.
