KidRobot

*Overpriced blind boxes of unique toys, zipper pulls, key chains, blank DIY Kidrobots, figurines, apparel.
*Kidrobot’s collaborations with other well known brands such as tokidoki, Simpsons, Family Guy, and Street Fighter were awesome!
*opening a blind box toy is addicting; you never know which one you’re gonna get, and you have bragging rights if you happen to find a rare one.

perfect store for the child in all of us… I mean our children.
Seriously, will miss this soho staple.
RIP KR soho

I can’t believe the day has come where this place is now closed. It was always an interesting place to visit. I heard about the 70% off from friend the other day but didn’t get any of the labbits. Last item I actually did get was one of the BOTS figures. I think it was 2 out of 20 edition. It was a figure with a kidrobot t shirt and a mohawk and basketball. Cute figurine for me. I will miss this place, I passed by yesterday and there was not much left. It was true though some boxes you had no clue what you were getting.
Didn’t even see a decent hoodie that I wanted. #goodbyekidrobotny

It is a sad they for this great store, because the store will close down very soon, due to landlord foul play. If you’ve ever collected toys or action figures while you were a child, then KidRobot is basically the adult version with big boy prices. I can remember playing with Go-​bots when I was younger. The memories!
What’s to love about KidRobot stuff? Two words: blind box. From Frank Kozik’s Smorking Labbits, to Dunnys, to Munnys, you can literally spend hundreds of dollars here just trying to collect the whole set. Pick up a box and wonder what collectible you will find inside. I think I actually prayed three Hail Marys to get the toy I desire. It worked.
I heard they usually have artists signings when special editions release. I wished I would be able to experience this event. Why not? They are officially closed down. :-(
I wished all them the best of luck and I hope they will re-​open real soon!
Cheers,
Wilkie

I remember back in the day when Kidrobot was the hottest thing in streetwear and all the kids used to trade vinyl toys on the forums and hop on every new tee release. Those days are long gone, but it’s still nice to see the store still up, cranking out more creative and fun products.
I was tempted to buy a Dunny toy for the good old days but I already have too many. The top floor is mostly apparel while the entry level floor is toys and a few accessories etc. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into streetwear in general.

We love KidRobot in our household, but this store was probably my least favorite of all the stores I’ve been in. The selection of vinyls hasn’t been changing as much as they normally have. I would rather buy online anymore than go to one of the storefronts.

I’ve loved Kidrobot for the longest time and collecting thousands of dollars worth of toys. I recently sold 95% of my collection just because I need more space in my room and I now only cherish the custom priceless toys I own (mostly blank vinyl drawn on by artists). When I go to KR artist events, I don’t even buy the toy that’s coming out – I just get a Munny or something and have the artist doodle on it. At any rate, I like this location a lot. The one in SF (where I am from) and LA are not as big. I like the second floor at this NY location just because it makes the store more spacious and leaves a lot more wall space for art (which is readily apparent upon entry). If I was 5 years younger and still going hard collecting, I would’ve for sure bought something that was unique to KRNY. I will always have a place in my heart for KR so it was cool to check out this location.

Lots of limited toys made from plastic and vinyl.
Some boxes are sealed and you have no idea what you’re gong to get.
Some really cool designs. Great place to fill up when you need a quick gift or making a gift bag of random stuff.
Does not matter how old or young you are, you can find something to your liking.

What happened to this place? I used to spend too much money here on designer vinyl as they carried a great selection of unique pieces by great artists.
Now it’s all Simpsons, South Park, super hero, and nothing really that interesting. The selection is minimal, yet there is a lot out there at the other stores in NYC. Half the merchandise in store is clothing and the food plushies.
Selection doesn’t change much and the staff kinda sucks as well. People that used to work there knew their stuff and were helpful, now they just stand around looking bored watching you so you don’t steal. Seems like once they expanded to 2 floors everything went downhill.

I was rather disappointed with this store. I remember going through this book once which had pictures of all sorts of collectible figurines, stories about their creators, and it was such interesting art.
This store only carries a tiny amount of what’s out there. There are some collectibles downstairs like the smoking labbits, but upstairs is just a small selection of clothing items.
The collection here can’t compare with some of the pop art collectibles I’ve seen overseas. Too bad.

Cute store, I know this place is like a Mecca for toy collectors, but I just dropped by one day with the bf just to browse. I did see a section of «Yummy» plush dolls and almost fainted at the adorableness of these items. I didn’t purchase an actual plush doll but I did buy a small keychain and it is just as cute. The store is laid out really neatly, and the lighting is perfect, as well, the people who work here are friendly and willing to help you if you even just look in their direction. Overall, a nice little shop in SoHo!

I’ve come in here with a couple of little dogs I walk, and today I decided I «needed» a Labbit. A tiger-​striped Labbit with a mustache. I’m charmed that they made him anatomically-​correct enough to include a little black @$$hole.
It’s been a long week.

Blind box figurines, all sorts of cool things.
I should have bought the Motion City Soundtrack «Wrecks and Dazey» dinosaurs though — I went back recently and they didn’t have them!

Likes: Neat little two storied store with some cute things and toys and clothes.
Dislikes: Not really my price point or style.

The pretension of the sales staff in here completely threw me. I really didn’t expect it and… we are a bunch of toy dorks! What’s to be snobby about?
Apparently, not much. Despite the number of lines KR puts out, the store was very mediocre with its displays and the amount of backstock it seemed to have available. Things I asked about were unavailable or the clerk didn’t know and couldn’t be bothered to find out.
Most of the space in this two story disco was dedicated to Kidrobot’s very pricey clothing — mostly tees. I bought my husband a very nice one with the KR logo, it was about $ 50. That is low end here.
People: you can and should expect more from this shop. The clerks should help you. The stock should be deeper. The displays should be more creative.
I like KidRobot products, but this store is a letdown. If you’re on a budget, you’d be better served saving your money for the plethora of other shops in town, like Myplasticheart or Toy Tokyo… among others.

To think that I’ve been coming to KidRobot for so many years, and to have never written a review is almost blasphemy. If you’ve ever collected toys or action figures while you were a child, then KidRobot is basically the adult version with big boy prices. Before, KidRobot only sold figurines, but now they’ve expanded to clothing and other accessories.
What’s to love about KidRobot stuff? Two words: blind box. From Frank Kozik’s Smorking Labbits, to Dunnys, to Munnys, you can literally spend hundreds of dollars here just trying to collect the whole set. On occasion, they do have artist signings when special editions release. Luckily, I was able to come once for a Frank Kozik signing and got my Labbits signed!
If you do have some serious cash to drop, then by all means, purchase some of the famed Kaws items, Bearbricks, or even the fiberglass Labbit stool. The clothing here is kind of whatever. Mediocre quality, and just really random designs. It might just be me, but the days of big logos and all over prints have passed its time.
It’s hard to explain KidRobot to someone who’s never been because it’s just more or less a toy store. But step one foot in here, and you’ll be blessed with how eye catching everything here is.

EVERYTHING IS SO CUTE IN HERE!!! I WANT THE WHOLE STORE LOL
Some of the items are affordable and some are just out of my budget like a gigantic action figure for 300 bucks! It was already SOLD by the way haha.
I enjoy coming in even if it means only window shopping for me. =)

There comes a time in one’s life when he/​she is supposed to be too old for toys.
TOO OLD? TO PLAY? WITH TOYS?! *FREAK OUT* -=MID LIFE CRISIS=-
Hush. Relax. KidRobot isn’t filled with toys (keep telling yourself that). KidRobot is filled with works of art.
Yup, I like to view all those little figurines as art pieces. Really, that’s what they are; collectible and thought provoking. Does the strawberry zipper pull make you want to eat? Does the labbit with a cigarette in it’s mouth make you want to smoke? Feel nostalgic for Futurama? Want to sleep on a doughnut? Want a cuddly slice of pizza? Do you think bloody bears are cute?
Um, yes. I do. And I am oh so happy to have been gifted a BFFS. In the box was a chocolate dipped marshmallow with a pitchfork. Nice to meet you s. morrison + rusty jr. YOU ARE MINE.
I like to have these little guys and keep them all over my apartment. I treat them as accent pieces and it’s a little tradition that all my tv’s have KidRobot head ornaments.
It’s not clutter. It’s not junk. It’s cute and cool. Über-​cool. And it keeps me funky fresh. Thank you KidRobot. I feel like I am so with it.

Where else can you get a giant pizza plush pillow? Or a cute ice cream sandwich pillow?
KidRobot store of course!
Tucked away in the heart of SoHo, the two-​story store is packed with cute figurines, plush pillows, clothing and various other KidRobot toys and art pieces. Definitely a niche market. The store isn’t too big but there are so many neat things to look at!
Also, the store maybe cool, but a bit pricey (The plush pizza slice pillow was about $ 50. And that was already marked down from $ 75) and usually the people that shop here are know the brand and are avid collectors of the toys. You can get a lot of what they sell online, but it is nice that they have a brick and mortar store devoted to toys. It makes people like my bf giddy with delight. =)
The people that work here were really nice and helpful too.

KidRobot has a FLAGSHIP STORE? And I wasn’t aware of this while living next to it (within 3 blocks) for a week? Oh my gosh when I found this store it was like finding a piece of myself. Suddenly all my labbit, dunny, munny and KidRobot clothing collections collectively jumped up at once and said … wahoo!
They even have the kawz original fake 4 ft companion here! They have probably the largest selection of kawz I’ve seen yet and they have so many labbit and dunny items, if I were only made of money I would make this store my home. They have a limited selection of clothing but regardless their toy selection was fantastic and having held myself back from buying EVERYTHING I ended up with a large smorkin doll and a mouse pad. Not too shabby.
