Popkiller

I believe that the store is closing so that makes me sad. However, there is a 30% off sale.
Popkiller is a fun store! It’s kind of an asian version of urban outfitters with lots of kawaii things, clothing, unique gifts, and fun stuff!
If you’re reading this now, go out and save 30% or more!

This place is in The Lab next to Urban and its a small funny shop full of weird stuff. It kinda reminds me of spencers in the westminster mall.
They sell waterpipe in there for all you Tobacco wink wink smokers.
its good for poking.

Love Japanese Fashion or Novelty Swag?
Come fall in Love with POP KILLER just like I did back when I was in LIL TOKYO.
The inventory is always fun and playful.
I have shopped with this company for many years.
The owner is a edgy rocker that has a pretty sweet boom-​box collection at all his locations.
The staff is always super up on style and super friendly.
You will find cool vintage clothes, rad tee-​shirts, slick shades, wide variety of pipes, costume jewelry, funky socks and much much more…
Highly recommend this location in Costa Mesa at the LAB… It’s my new fave!

Popkiller certainly has what it takes to be part of The LAB. Its main theme is original design t-​shirts and they do have many of them with all kinds of designs. Most of them have a hipster appeal (as almost everything in The LAB does) and some have really funny or completely offbeat themes. Most items we saw when we were there during the Thanksgiving weekend were around $ 10, with some higher end ones going for around $ 20.
They also carry many other clothing such as plaid shirts for men and blouses for women. Selections of slacks, pants and jeans are also available, as well as an array of accessories. Prices of most items are reasonable and if you take your time to browse around, you’ll find some good bargains there.

Wow, I haven’t been to this mall in awhile, particulary due to the horrid parking! One day, my girlfriend and I decided to shop here around 8pm on a weekday. Strangely enough, the parking lot was only at half capacity!!!
Enter: This strange store that caught our eye. Upon entering, you are greeted by strange animal heads wearing vintage clothes! This store is completely ridiculous and awesome at the same time! Awesome vintage clothes, silly shirts for men and women, and toys! Its a great place to find the perfect Christmas or birthday gift for a friend!
Shirts are around $ 28 which is quite pricey! However, if you do find a shirt in your size on the sale racks, you’ll spend about $ 10. In any case, it is definitely a fun store worth checking out!

went in this store for the first time and absolutely love it! got some great tshirts and floral hat. So many fun things in this store, i am definitely coming back.

Not a big fan of wearing dresses but if anything, I ALWAYS go here. They have what I want all the time :) By the way SOME of their vintage dresses can’t be exchanged after being bought and
same goes for refunds, they’re not accepted.

Upon walking in, I wanted to like this place. Unfortunately, you’ll get pretty much the same stuff across the way at Urban Outfitters without the attitude. We walked in and the girl working behind the counter couldn’t even life her head from her phone to acknowledge us. We were in the store for five minutes and nothing. We walked out and walked around, then eventually came back because my friend wanted to buy something. We walked back in and again were greeted with nothingness. She barely moved as we perused the shelves.
There were a lot of cool things in here from the wacky and crazy to the plain bizarre, and everything hipster in between. I could see spending a few bucks for something fun here, but I won’t The service was crap. Pure crap. Even when my friend was buying her stuff, I didn’t hear a peep out of the employee and I was less than five feet away. Definitely can’t say I’ll be back.

Because Lil’ Tokyo is quite the drive out, this is the next best thing to us in Orange County. I like this store, it reminds me of being in the Haight in SF.
Found a bawse necklace from here and can’t wait to rock it!

There’s something about this place that continually draws me back. Maybe it’s the faint smell of incense. Kinda reminds me of my great aunt’s house — full of wacky chachskis, vintage clothing, oddshaped hats, old school eyewear, Japanese porn all over the walls.
I recently got a trucker hat from here that says «I Am Fucking Genius». It’s my new favorite. ^_​_​^
If you’re into vintage, campy, kitschy stuff — you’ll absolutely love this place.

Of the Popkillers in L.A. and O.C. this is my favorite. This shop always is full of fun stuff.
Great place to find unique gifts or something fun for yourself.

I really enjoy this store, it’s pretty much my secret hidden gem as far as some certain vintage pieces I look for goes. Since it’s owned by someone Japanese, they really know what to get as far as good vintage goes. The prices aren’t too bad either. I almost always end up buying something every time I go in here. I would def recommend it.

I love Popkiller. This place is a newer cousin to its stores in LA. They always have interesting stuff.
Love their shirts, especially the one that says «Japan sells beer to kids… I have proof»
Cool place.

I know that purple neon sign from Urban Outfitters is luring — nay — practically sucking you in like a vortex of manufactured cool, but be strong. Use all of your might to ignore it and instead storm right into Popkiller across the way.
I will admit though, this store does make me feel like an out of touch adult. You remember the out of touch adults from when you were a kid right? You’re telling inside jokes about TMNT and George Michael and the out of touch adults try to laugh like they understand what the hell you’re talking about. The tables have turned. Some of the things in this store almost make me want to say out lout, «I don’t get it.» or «That’s a thing?» or «People are wearing those again?» But I don’t dare lose what miniscule amount of cred I have, so I just smile and chuckle fake knowingly.
Aside from the things that totally make me feel old, this store is filled with all kinds of awesome. Lots of t-​shirts that are definitely more original than UO across the way, so much jewelry you may just renounce Etsy forever. and really just all sorts of random other gift items and accessories and clothing. For such a teensy store, it really packs a punch.
Best of all? Everything is totally reasonably priced. Not super cheap, but definitely affordable and won’t make you wonder if the pricetags have a typo.
I love finding a store that I can go into and leave with a gift in hand that’s perfect for any number of people on any number of occasions — and that’s exactly what you can do at Popkiller.

Perfect store for a.) gifts for others, b.) gifts for yourself, c.) spending money on nothing but everything and oh so satisfactory.
This corner pocket has something for anyone and everyone! It’s my new go-​to place for any present and… when I have money burning a hole on my pocket.
Check it out if you’re at the lab… I would be surprised if you left there without buying anything O_​O

Super fun store in the middle of the Anti-​mall, Costa Mesa
They have super cool stuff, some vintage, collectable and unique accesories at a reasonable price.
I got some great t-​shirts and I’m definitely going back for some stock stuffings for this XMass.
It’s a hidden gem dangerously close from South Coast Plaza!

I’m so glad that PopKiller decided to open up a store so close to my area! Before, I’d have to drive all the way out to LA to check out all their cool eyewear.
I have a tendency to lose my sunglasses real easily, so I stopped buying expensive designer shades and started buying the cheaper ones that looked exactly the same. PopKiller has the best selection of eclectic and hip eyewear, so I’m always going to them every so often to replace all the shades that I keep losing. Their prices are fair and the amount of styles they carry are a good amount.
This place is also good for small nick-​nacks and gifts, too.

OMG! this is new at the AntiMall in Costa Mesa, super cool Japanese kitsch and pop culture all over. They have cupcake and donut necklaces, Lucky cat pins and lots of Hipster/​Japan pop culture you can shake a stick at. Staff is really nice and laid back.
Finally you don’t have to go to LA to get cool vintage clothes, accessories, scarves, and super cool sun glasses.
Check this place out, esp if your’e a Japanophile. :D

Happy that Popkiller opened up in the Lab. Much more of a vintage selection than I have ever found at Buffalo Exchange. Though Buffalo does seem to have more newer pieces they do have some vintage but it’s not very much and Popkiller hands down has that. Priced reasonably well for vintage clothing everything here is neatly organized and seems to be organized fairly well by era.
MORE DRESSES PLEASE. One could never have an over abundance of dresses.
The accessories selection is good. Tons of handbags and glasses.

New in the Anti-​Mall, this store is tons of fun. I was stopping by the Gypsy Den for some coffee and walked into this place.
Vintage like clothes, cool shoes, and urban outfitter-​like knick knacks. Saw a lot of the Karate Kid paraphernelia and some kids onesies for Bruce Lee. I’ll be stopping by here to pick up gifts for my friends’ kids.
The sunglasses and hats are the best. We bought some sun hats and fun glasses to play around with.
