Sometimes I like to come in here to just pretend I'm cool. The books are great and the t-shirts are too (but I must say, getting a little tired... I keep seeing the same ones year after year). But…

This place is wickedly AWESOME. And I'm not just saying this because I love toys (I'm a 1st grade teacher with a Peter Pan complex).

This store is full of adorable t-shirts, books, plush toys, and other random contemporary-asian-insipired-artsy novelty items. Everything in there makes me smile. I want to buy it all! But it's very…

Giant Robot recently expanded and now they've got even *more* cute stuff. My latest purchase was an "eggling"--an egg that you crack open and water, and flowers start growing out of it!!!! How…

Love this place. A gallery, a little shop, a bookstore and more. Toys, t-shirts, art, stationary and the service was helpful and not at all snooty. Fun!

I'm a sucker for the charming &cute (read: true-blood Asian-style, holla!), and this shop delivers in spades. From ultra-cool graphic tees to comics to plush little bath tubs designed for your cell…

Amazing selection of shirts, toys, handmade crafts (I got my sister an awesome iPod holder recently), skate decks, dvds, books, zines, original art and much more for sale. If you're into photography,…

I thought I should write a review for the new location, next door to the old location, where FTC used to be. It's bigger and when I was there, they were setting up an art installation of tiny painted…

I'm not quite sure what it's all about, as my experience with anime is quiet small, but great store. If I had any money, I'm sure my shelves would be packed full of Giant Robot stuff. And then I…

This fun little store carries some of the most unique selection of art books, toys, clothings, paintings to little dolls. This is one of the must stop attractions of San Francisco. Though small in…

I like the plastic bear statues holding the machine guns. And I love that I can find Miyazaki films untainted by Disney's logos and marks.

I don't know what I'd actually buy here but a walk-through is a must. There's tons of interesting toys and little things you'll look at but never place on your bookshelf. Something tells me their…

You've seen the magazine, now see the store! Full of one-of-a-kind toys and gear by the GR family of artists. Save yourself from shopping online. It's small and discreet, but it's worth the browse.

Even though this place is filled with lots of cool tees, books/mags, and figures, I found myself wanting to browse more than buy. It's definitely worth a look-see. P.S. They sell Ugly Dolls!
