One new store has opened at Williamsburg Premium Outlets, with another store set to open in July. iCollectables Popculture Emporium, a new collectible shop that specializes in Funko Pop toys, opened at the beginning of June in the space between Fragrance Outlet and As Seen on TV. The store is owned by Andrew Mooney and his father, Chris.
Andrew Mooney first became interested in Funko Pops back in high school after receiving the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” set as a gift. He and his father later started selling collectibles online and at comic-con events before deciding to open a storefront. The shop carries about 600 different Funko Pops ranging in price from $15 to a few hundred dollars for rare, limited-edition Pops.
“We have something for everyone, whether you are a casual collector or a hardcore collector,” Mooney said. In addition to Funko Pop toys, iCollectables sells Star Wars and Marvel action figures, horror masks and props, posters and stuffed animals, as well as exotic snacks and drinks. Eventually, Mooney would also like to add LEGO sets to his inventory.
The goal of iCollectables is “to bring the comic-con experience to a store for those who can’t travel to comic-con,” Mooney said. “We want to bring in something different, something that you wouldn’t see in a big box store and make it fun when you walk through the door.” iCollectables is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.
m. to 8 p.m.
, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.
m. and Sunday fr.
