Bestest Punkest Rockest Toy Store

Atomic City

Gaijins beware! Where else can you find the most devastatingly fashionable footware, killer couture, and punk/post-punk/pre-punk junk as well as more Japanese kaiju eiga, Gojira gear, and tin toys than you'll ever have room in your crib for? (Hello Godzilla! Goodbye nursery!) Nowhere but here, Austin's first, best, and rightfully legendary home of all things wonderous, amazing, and Tokyo-stomping. And if you ask owner Jim "Hawaiian Prince" Hughes nicely, he may even show you his awe-inspiring, full-back inkwork, depicting a certain Big Green Saurian on a rampage o' love. Go otaku, go!
