This is a fun little store in the Arts Factory that must have opened fairly recently, as I only remember it during my last two First Friday jaunts.\n\nIt's a toy store in a location that looks like you're walking more through a hallway than a store, but I have to give respect to ingenuity in making a business location like this happen. But it's nice and well organized.\n\nI've been in here a few times, and they seems to specialize largely in two things: Custom figures (like from the Munny series), and Kubricks. They actually have a pretty respectable variety of Kubrick figures, and the customs that they have cover a little bit of everything, from obscure, to original, to popular. Prices are collector's prices, but I was tempted more than once by a few pieces.\n\nThe staff is really nice, and enjoyable to talk to. They will also switch out Kubricks with another figure if you don't like the one that you've bought. I thought that was a nice touch, though I was cursed with a \"lame\" figure, and the display replacement wasn't doing much for me either. But I appreciate the effort on their part.\n\nI like the diversity of a store like this in a place like the Arts Factory. It really just gives the overall building just a little more \"color\" to it. It's fun to just have in there, and you'll end up stumbling into the store whether you realize it or not. The small room with the figures? Yeah, that's Happy Panda, alright.\n\nDefinitely a fun diversion on your First Friday adventures.
