Frank and Son Collectible Show
Frank and Son is a large indoor market with many independent dealers. Each booth sets its own prices and return terms. It is a useful first stop for variety: stock can include Hot Toys, Sideshow, vintage figures, statues, props, trading cards and Japanese imports.
Check the individual dealer’s return terms and the condition and completeness of a preowned figure before paying. The market’s main number is not a stock list for every booth.

Halo 13
Halo 13 is inside Burbank Town Center, making it easy to pair with another Burbank stop. It sells pop-culture and anime merchandise across different figure sizes and brands. Call first if your trip is specifically for sixth-scale figures.

Phone: (818) 847-7548
Toy Mandala
Toy Mandala focuses on Japanese and anime collectibles. Its range includes figures, Gundam kits, plush and trading cards. Consider it for a mixed collection, and confirm stock first if you only want sixth-scale movie figures.

Phone: (818) 990-3007
Hours: Thursday–Monday 2–6 p.m.; Tuesday–Wednesday closed.
Which store is best for sixth-scale figures?
Start with Frank and Son when you want the greatest number of sellers in one trip. Choose Blast From the Past when licensed movie and television collectibles are the priority. ToyArena is strongest for Gundam, Transformers, anime and imported figures, while Halo 13 and Toy Mandala are better additions for a broader anime and pop-culture route.
No store can guarantee a particular figure will still be on the shelf. Before driving, call with the manufacturer, character, edition and scale. For a preowned figure, ask whether the box, shipper, accessories and replacement parts are included.
Plan a Los Angeles collecting route
- City of Industry and La Puente: Pair Frank and Son with ToyArena on a Saturday when both are scheduled to be open.
- Burbank: Visit Blast From the Past and Halo 13 in the same part of the day.
- Sherman Oaks: Treat Toy Mandala as a separate stop or add it to a Valley itinerary.
- Before buying: Compare the exact edition, condition, completeness and return terms—not just the price.
