Editorial Review for Toy Joy – by Kellie Bledsoe
In Short
Toy Joy is a rite of passage for anyone coming of age in Austin. Theme music to superhero movies or old Saturday morning TV shows plays in the background; mobiles hang above wall-to-wall displays of colorful toys and gadgets. After drooling over the Chik-o-Sticks and Atomic Fireballs in the candy section, lose track of time playing with the Wind-up Hopping Pighead and the raccoon binoculars before exploring the lava lamps, rubber snacks and Hello Kitty alarm clocks.

Ok honestly, the toys here are fantastic!! I love looking around and I went there with a friend and we looked around for hours and hours. There are just so many unique things in there. The only complaint that I have about that place is that is is WAY to cluttered and that things in there way just SO overpriced. I mean, a little penguin toy (plastic, totally 25 cents material) was literally $3.95. That is ridiculous. Everything in there is highly overpriced. The only reason why I go is that is there are just neat things to look at. Buying? Nah.
