Anyone know what the closest place/places to find figs near times square would be? Midtown Manhattan is one of the worst places to find action figures. There used to be 2 TRUs in the area with decent selection before they shut down. You would be lucky if you find more than 3 WWE figures on the pegs at the Target or KMart that are both on 34th St. |

Doubt you would find anything in those parts anyway and probably should spend your time seeing the sites or something while you are there

Target near Macy's had best selection when I was there but even then it was poor. Jump on a train to queens to wrestling universe. Literly 5-10 walk from the station

target on 34th st between 6th and 7th ave the TRU was a great spot but they went under they were on at time sq.. theirs no toy stores in the city anymore just targets and Walgreen. you can try FAO Schwarz but the prices are gonna be crazy.. haven't been to the new one yet used to go to the OG store before the went under i work in the city driving a round and a small mom and pop toy store cant make rent selling toys so big stores/chains are youre only option in Manhattan theres some little candy stores/gift shops up in Harlem that have mattels.. try wrestling universe store and say hi to jack sabbath..about 1hrs train ride but the store is loaded!!!

Not in Manhattan, but Wrestling Universe in Queens is definitely worth checking out. I'm pretty sure Hawkins and Ryder profiled it on a recent Youtube episode if you wanna look it up.

FAO Schwartz was purchased by TRU, and was closed down a few years ago. I went there back in 2015, and I think it closed the following year. They had an amazing Sesame Street puppet workshop. You could order your own custom Sesame Street puppet, and they were made there by amazing puppeteers. |

"WE BUY TOYS! We'll give you $3 for your rare MIB collectibles so we can scalp them for 10 times their price! What an amazing deal for you!"

FAO is a nice place to visit, but they don’t carry WWE toys, I believe the only action figures I saw when I went a couple of weeks ago was transformers. |
