MiniQ

The store has a great variety of selections! Ranging from Figmas, keychains, models, blind boxes, and much more! The clerk is very helpful and friendly! My to go place for animé products!

Great service. I brought my sister here with me from Vancouver. The shop owner was so kind and knew everything about his product and gave us background on the characters we were shopping for. He gave us breathing room to look around and seemed genuinely happy to be doing what he was doing. We would go back again for sure.

I try not to come here a lot because I always end up leaving with stuff I don’t need. Super cute stuff, but stuff I don’t necessarily need. The guy that works here is really nice and once when I asked to see a Suzuya Juuzou keychain he just took me around the store and showed me all the other TG stuff (including cute blind boxes near the register). It’s overwhelming to be here if you’re like me – meaning, can’t focus on one shelf long enough to look at everything — so I’m usually in here for at least twenty minutes making my rounds. The only thing is that they need to get in some Kyoukai no Kanata or Mirai Nikki stuff! Haha.

I’m not much of a fan of comic manga animé type things… but I do have sons, so sometimes I am required to go into stores like this.
The store is small, but it is packed with stuff. Literally everything cartoony that you can think of… lots and lots of stuff!
My kids could spend hours in here just looking around.
My favorite thing about the store? I don’t know if he is the owner or an employee, but the same guy is here every time we go and he is so nice to my kids. They are 5 and 11… one is hyper and insane and the other has Aspergers. He always answers their questions and is so kind and patient with them. He treats my kids like they matter… and so I don’t mind spending my money here.

Can I give this place more stars?
First off, I remember when these guys were still a tent at the swap meet, and now here they are with their own air-​conditioned, display-​case packed, colourful store that I hope to see succeed for a long time.
The owner is amazing, one of the friendliest guys I have ever met, and he knows his stuff! We chat about new animé and figure releases, all kinds of stuff. He even says hi at conventions, haha. He’ll let my husband and I know if there’s anything coming out that we might be interested in, and also offers pre-​orders through the store if you’re anticipating an upcoming release.
The prices are pretty fair to moderately expensive, but that’s all to be expected in the figure market. Considering the price is pretty high anyway, depending on the manufacturer and quality, and shipping from Japan is factored in, the prices aren’t too bad at all.
Mini-​Q is NOT one of those bootleg stores, they stock the legit imports from Japan. Kotobukiya. Figma. Nendoroid. Even the Gachapon finds are legit. You name it, they got it.
Even if you’re looking for something frillier, with less rockets or Spears of Longinus, Mini-​Q also stocks plushies, car decals, various accessories, Sanrio, and Rement items (great for crafters looking for deco pieces).
Please, please, please bring your business to Mini-​Q and support this business, not the bootleg shops in Pearl Ridge!

This is just an awesome store to visit and there are a lot of animé stuffs here. I buy some figures and statues over here. If you like to collect animé stuffs this is the only place to grab them!

OH. MY. GUNDAM. I am like a child in a candy store when it comes to MiniQ.
The customer service is a perfect 5 stars with the male owner and female who run the show. The kawaii and sugoi level of their items never fail to excite. They know me as the «The Nightmare Before Christmas patron» and never hesitate to show if they have new merch in that involves it. I also love animé, manga, and video games so I buy charms for my lanyards, keychains, backpacks, purses, and Tamagotchi P’s. I’ve also bought cell phone charms and pins as gifts for friends.
Other items that I’ve purchased: Lilo & Stitch Car Visor, Jack Skellington Plushies, Toki Doki Decals, figurines, lanyards, iron-​on patches
I’ve bought items involving: The Nightmare Before Christmas, Street Fighter, Gundam, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Pocket Monsters, Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, Disney, Sailor Moon, and Sanrio characters
If I’m not mistaken, they are also a casual vendor at the Aloha Stadium Swap Meet and I’ve seen their booth at Kawaii Kon.
Parking: Free Lot

Nice selection. I’m glad to still see shops like this around. Always a welcome when I walk in, and helpful all the way.

The customer service here is just top notch. I never leave disappointed. Their selection is really wide in range from animé memorabilia to the kawaii house goods.
The fact that he keeps his customers updated with updates is wonderful and the pricing is perfect. It’s my go to place for Sailor Moon merchandising and I would recommend him to everyone!
All in all I consider them to be the best store for animé goods on the island!

Best place to get animé accessories and decals. Everything is straight from Japan. Got some DBZ key chains. If you’re missin Toys and Joys, this place is the right place to go to.

I love this store! This is like thee only animé store we have in hawaii. Thank god for this store! I love everything about it. They have stickers, figurines, land yards, etc. Best store ever!

Minus one star for high prices. Otherwise good selection and overall friendly service. I’m crazy to collect Alice in wonderland figures lol

After searching for hours on Unilocal for a place that sells authentic animé related merchandise, I stumbled across this place. I was particularly interested in purchasing some figma/​maxfactory pieces but this place does has somewhat of a limited selection. I emailed this place about some Asuka figures prior to walking in and they promptly responded. It is difficult to stock some particular items but this place has a selection that should please most. The staff is knowledgable and very polite! Definitely a stop I will make when I come back!

I ABSOLUTELY ~LOVE~ EVERYTHING ABOUT MINIQ! The guy working (he’s always there when I happen to go) is very helpful and super cool. I always spend too much money here though, lol. They have a ton of animé merchandise (figures, blind boxes, keychains, decals, etc). I will definitely keep going back!

Great place to spend your money!
Awesome toys and models!
Keys chains are a must and stickers!
Price is high, but beats ordering online.
A must visit shop!

The guy at the store was nice. I really enjoyed the experience because I wanted to buy just about every knick knack there, and that’s the thing. The store is full of little keychains and doodads, it’s basically the greatest place ever because those are my favorite kinds of things.

Went here on 6÷28÷13. Had to pass the time while waiting for a UYE at Ken Nae’s. The shop is a little on the small side, but it’s packed with a lot of animé mercandise, as well as non-​animé goods (Batman, Ironman, Bruce Lee) figures. This store could compete with Toys and Joys if you’re looking for animé figures and other collectibles. All in all, a very positive experience and I will come back again to actually buy something next time. I give this place 4 stars. I would like to it 5 stars but I cannot based on the size of the store being small, which can make manuvering around a challenge if the store gets crowded. But overall, a great experience and highly recommended if looking for animé related goods.

AHHHHH!!! My first review as a Unilocal Elite! So excited! Ok yes I am such a dork. Now here is a review that shows my childlike side. I love make-​up, fashion, and food like any normal girl would but the ultimate for me is anything that has to do with animé!!! Yes I read mangas and yes I watch animé and yes I have a figurine of Vash the Stampede displayed in still the original packaging since my husband doesn’t want to open it up. Yes my husband is a fellow animé freak. May I also add that if my friend Animé Guru had a Unilocal app she would be the duchess of MiniQ. The owner actually knows her by name and said hi to us at this pass Kawaii Kon.
Sorry for geeking out there but this is just a part of me that goes cray cray. That being said MiniQ is a cool place to find everything shipped from Japan and into the hands of all animé lovers here on the island. This ain’t junk reproductions these are the real legit stuff. It’s a small little store in the corner of a strip mall in Aiea. If I didn’t meet the owner last year at Kawaii Kon I would not even come to this area at all. He has all type of figurines in a display case right when you enter. He basically has everything you can think of. He got key chains, secret boxes, wall of car decals, stuffed animé characters, and list goes on and on.
For all you Hello Kitty lovers out there beware because this store has the ultimate HK accessories overload that would blow your mind!
May I add the last item i got from this store was a stuffed push Lambo from the animé Hitman Reborn. I was so happy to find him!!!
Happy animé shopping yeeps!

A toy store for adults, and not in a pervy way! With so many different things it would be difficult to list everything without leaving something out. Guys there are some really awesome stuff for us like replica weaponary keychains from videogames such as World of Warcraft & Halo, professional grade stickers for cars to old school toys like Transformers. If you need to score brownie pts with the significant other they have bags, keychains and a lot of stuff that are sure to please. Today I picked up a nice keychain replica of a sword from the computer game World of Warcraft, while the wife picked up a kawaii Kuromi bag. They get new things in every 2 weeks to a month. That being said I can’t wait to come back again.

MINI WORLD: After a friend texted me, saying that I need to visit this store because it was «soooo ME», I decided to pay a quick visit to MiniQ. Okay, so I kinda have this fascination with miniature things (cute, collectable Japanese toys in particular), and I guess it’s pretty obvious… hehe.
ADORABLE: The only way I can describe MiniQ, is that it’s a store that sells – almost completely – miniature toys. Very similar to those wonderful capsule toy machines in Japan, except without the plastic bubble. They even have a miniature replica of a Japanese capsule toy machine itself! Too bad my Iphone doesn’t have a place to attach a strappy keychain, because there are a million of these things sold here. :0(They also have a small selection of adult animé collectables… for those «otaku» out there.
GO THERE: MiniQ is located in Aiea Shopping Center (right around the corner from Young’s Kalbi. If you’re in the area, it’s a really cute place to check out.
