X-Treme Toys

The title says it all, its a geeky and nerdy toys galore. You can anything from Superheroes to Horror characters to animated characters. The prices are fair, sometimes you find a good deal on a collectible. I dont blame their prices though, rent in the Montebello mall must be pretty high. Staff is super friendly and willing to help you find merchandise on any fictional character you like. They also have a lot of cool designed shirts. Place is a bit small but there is a lot to looks at. You can easily kill an hour in there and considering how small that place is, its saying something. I usually go there to buy DC Comics figures. They have a lot of Dc and Marvel merchandise. Id say about 50% if their product would be that. They have a big selection of Pop Funkos if thats your thing.

I was looking for a coraline doll (bendy doll) to be exact. When I ask one of the managers he gave me crap attitude about it.
He’s like don’t you know how much they cost?
I’m like yes that’s why I’m asking
Then he said well hope you can afford it.
I wanted to buy the whole dam store just to get him fried.
What ever hate that place I’ll never return.

Love love love their funko pop selection and they definitely have a bigger selection than most other places BUT they put the price label RIGHT ON THE FRONT! It’s super hard to get it off without leaving a sticker residue on the clear plastic window. Seeing as they know people collect these, I would expect better.

My two boys and I love this place. There are always cool finds. I can always find something within budget.

Good little store to find some rare pieces inside the Montebello mall. Prices are comparable to eBay and Amazon. My son was pretty excited about all the G1 Transformers in stock so had to buy all of them. Only thing is a bit crowded and the young man helping us was helpful but did not seem that informed about the toys. Guy at register was awesome. We will be back next time in town.

I’m falling in love with this place, everything I come I find new comics, action figures, a little of everything. Plus, you got to love the pokemon cards, cheaper than toys r us.

Horrible customer service… way over priced items… better off going online!!! I will Never shop here again!

So I recently went in to the Montebello X-​Treme Toys. So many figures & collectibles. From figures to accessories & apparel its kinda a nerd paradise. Wish they had more manga & model kits. I see they have some older vintage item in the back with scuff marks, just the way a vintage collectible should look. I recently sold some of my extra old school to them. Fair price. I understand they have to make money as well. If u haven’t been here u should come here!

Come down to extreme toys and browse for some cool collectables, toys, stickers, pins, t-​shirts, decals, and comics. Be warned, the staff that works at this store is very unapproachable. The people who work here must study the the behavior and implement the work ethic of the comic book guy from the Simpsons.
Yesterday I went out hunting for dragon ball z collectables for my little boy. I saw the vynil pop dbz figures and began searching for goku! I asked the young man behind the counter if they carried goku and vegeta. He pointed at the goku pictured on the box and stated that it was a hot topic exclusive. I felt like he was annoyed by my simple question. I said thank you and walked out.
They have a good amount of cool items, but the store is overwhelmed with the vynil pop figures. They should rename the store to «Funko pays ma billz». Much of their merch is dusty, bent, or scuffed.
Overall, come down to X-​treme toys to browse. You can find all their stuff at other stores or Frank and son’s. The management may want to retrain their sales reps. Read previous reviews and you begin to notice that many people love the store, but are unhappy with the staff.

Nerd heaven! My friend took me here and I was astonished of the quality of their stuff!!! stuff I’ve never seen before. great lil store

Good selection of toys and a variety of collectibles. The guy with the hat has great customer service with a smile. There are two Asian girls that look identical that work here that you may need to watch out for, they are very rude and good at giving customers the cold shoulder. Which is why I give this place 1 star.

I come to the place for the toys… not the customer service.
Let me correct myself, I come here for the toys but I avoid the two young, asian ladies with similar colored hair. They seem like they may be sisters especially considering they’re both extremely rude. (I say rude because I don’t want to write the word that I really want to use on Unilocal). More often than not, I judge a place by its Customer Service and because these ladies work here, this place deserves a bad rating.
The last time I came here, I was browsing around looking for a Green Lantern Pop Vinyl and because of the larger selections, I wasn’t sure if I had missed. I decided that I’d ask. Mind you, none of the customer service reps ever walk around their counter to the sales floor to help or keep an eye on the merchandise. They all stay behind and walk back and forth behind it.
Anyway, I asked the younger of the two «sisters» if she knew where I could find it. She just looked at me and said just said «No». Then she thought about it and said
«They haven’t made that one yet!» And walked away. I said «what?!?» Because I knew the toy existed (in fact I just ordered it from
) And she repeated herself. I almost corrected her but just smiled and walked away.
Ill be honest… Ive had a few great experiences with the Latino Dude who likes to wear hats but most of the time it ones of the two «sisters» that’s there.
They are a little pricey too… I find myself going to HotTopic because they have buy 1 get 1 half off (almost always) with the newer Pops. Also, the customer service is way better.
Because of the customer service this place is becoming my last stop before I buy something online that I really, really want but cant find anywhere else.
If I find a better place, with a great selection of PoP Vinyls and much better customer service, I’ll be going there.

The girl manager and few other employees are nice because they will help us out with a good deal cause were regulars. Yes they may have bad customer service at times, however, they have a lot of cool Collectibles to check out and willing to work with you in a good deal by purchasing in large quantities. We will definitely come again.

Was waiting on a Sunday for them to open and ten minutes past 11 no signs of anyone. Very disappointed. Guess I’ll stick with F&S.

After going to Xtreme toys, I am left with mixed feelings. I would sum this store up as a browsing store. They have some really cool items in there, mostly figures as well as some vintage toys. If you’re an impulse buyer and can afford the inflated prices then this may be the place for you. Otherwise try another place or EBay. You can get the items, in a better condition and possible at a much lower price. Much of their stock looks like it’s been through a world cup soccer match. Bend cards, scuffed bubbles. Nothing a true collector would pay for but if you really dig and take your time, you might find something worth getting.
As for the customer service, I am in agreement with most of the other posts. The employees there should all have shirts that say, «don’t bother me, I’m texting». There is no acknowledgement from any of them to your presence there. I’m not one who likes pressure sales but a «hello, welcome to the store» would be nice. And no they were not helping anyone else. I’ve been here once or twice before and this seems to be the norm.
Again…this place has some cool item but don’t expect much more than that from a trip here.

Kind of a cool place for tons of toys. They carry a lot of toys that are a bit older, but more aimed at the collectors. So if you’re an avid collector of Toybiz Marvel Legends, Mattel DC Superheroes, DC Direct, they do carry some older figures from those lines. They also have more current things like DC statues, NECA figures, WWE figures, and more. It is worth checking out. They have a cool front display too.

Stopped by the other day, love the selection, i think the only down side about this place is the workers, they definitely lack customer service, one of the girls at the counter never said a word to us an we were the only ones in the store!, she even put on her ear phones an walked by us in a small cramped aisle without ever making eye contact or welcoming us, not even an «excuse me». The place is clean an worth checking out, just don’t expect much help from the zombie workers.

I have a love/​hate relationship with this store and i’ll do my best to explain why.
I love that it’s the only pure toy/​collectibles store in the Montebello mall. there used to be a kaybe toy store that in turn turned into a Toys R Us Express that has now vanished from the mall… I myself am a collector so it is cool just to stroll into the store every now and then if you are into collecting toys.
But if your a fellow collector you will straight out laugh at some of the horribly over priced toys in the display cases in the back of the store. I just went yesterday and saw a vintage She-​ra princess of power figure from the 80’s still carded and unopened. But the card looked like it had been through a wood chipper !! It was beat to hell !! Hardly worth the 39.99 they are charging for it. Hell a true collector wouldnt pay no more than 8bux for such a beat up item, because in our world the condition of the overall package is everything. I hope nobody falls for it and spends what they are asking for it.
Also they sell a Swapmeat version of Voltron called «Lionbot» for the ridiculous price of $ 169 …all in all just do some research before you buy anything in those cases in the back. You will thank me later…
Also they’ve recently started selling a bunch of junk like lame ass wallets, key chains, belt buckles, mugs and other crap.
Oh and before i forget, another negative is that they sell different characters at different prices. This is a common occurrence throughout the store when it comes to figures that are on the floor. The new 52 superman costs less than that of batman, flash cheaper than wonder woman etc. Yet you can go to Toys R us and get the same figures for a solid 12.99 each !! No different prices per character there. Also toy lines that just come out they tend to jack the price up to secondary market prices, and thats not right… whomever owns this place is a bit of a crook to be honest.
SO BEWARE, DO RESEARCH BEFORE YOU PLAN ON ANY MAJOR PURCHASES HERE.

In my opinion X-​Treme Toys is maybe one of the good things that is worth stopping by in The Shops of Montebello.
Really! there aren’t many shopping malls nowadays that have hobby stores like these. My fandom is Transformers, not today’s cricket looking Transformers but the original 80’s robots. They have a few show cases that sell and display some old toy figures but a high price. He-​Man stuff! remember him?
X-​Treme Toys has lots of collectables you don’t see anywhere else like: Funko Pop figures they have lots of variety even WTF? a PSY version, lanyards, DC comics stuff, todays toys (which I don’t care about so why list any) and they even have cool custom decals, etc, etc…
Overall, very cool shop! Geeks come one… come all… checkout their BatmanT-​shirt displayed in front of that shop looks hella-​wicked!

I was x-​tremely depressed when I found out this astonishing store was closing. I begged them to reconsider but I guess all good things must come to an end. Luckily I gave them my e-​mail so they could contact me as soon as they figure out where they’re going to reestablish. Hopefully it’ll be an even larger place with more remarkable products!
The only thing I regret is not discovering this store any sooner otherwise I would have more than 7 action figures sealed and hanging in my room though I still yearn for that $ 60 Wolverine action figure. Oh, and the prices are incredible! I found a $ 35 Iron Man figure that costs $ 70 on Amazon. Amazon I tells you!
I plan on visiting this store real soon so I can bid my final farewell to a rare gem.
Here’s looking at you, kid.
