A hotspot for the entertainment industry as well as a tourist haven, Los Angeles is a city that millions visit each year. That being said, One Sixth Society was founded in Los Angeles and we consider it our home-base. In an increasingly digital world, many (including OSS) still enjoy a good old fashioned walk through the toy store to see the newest collectibles in person before we spend our hard earned money. Considering how many people visit Los Angeles and that it is our home, we wanted to take you on a journey to show you all the Sixth Scale Figure Stores in Los Angeles.
The Shops
If you’re coming to Los Angeles as a tourist, you should check out these stores as they are all close to hot spots that you will likely be visiting!
Frank & Son Collectible Show
If you are in the Los Angeles / West Hollywood area and you want to get away from the more tourist oriented areas then head to Frank and Son Collectible Show. Only 45 mins south of Los Angeles in City of Industry you will find a warehouse packed with sixth scale figure vendors. Frank & Son is a bi-weekly show where all sorts of collectors can meet and visit with a wide variety of vendors. With several vendors dealing with Hot Toys and other one sixth scale figures every week you will be hard pressed to find a location in America with as much variety. Not only that, but with the sheer amount of vendors, you are also likely to find other non-one sixth scale related treasures to buy.
Custom artists also are known to make appearances, like Tony Mei who shows off his custom tailor work. While these custom artists may not be offering their pieces for sale at the show, it is a good way to meet the people behind the art and make connections. Whether you are looking for the newest figure by Asmus Toys or a classic Hot Wheels car, Frank & Son is a must-stop if you are in the area.
