Love these guys. Wootbear is a store/art gallery related to kidrobot SF. They are true toy lovers and art geeks. If you love vinyl art, you have to drop by and meet these guys. There’s often different art show so follow them on Facebook and join their mailing list. Usually the artist will come to the openings to doodle and meet you! You can also buy blind boxes and other cool. vimyl art pieces there. It’s located in the heart of ‘real China town’ in clement so make sure u get some good food while you are around :)

Woot Bear is a necessary stop for any Vinyl Toy nerd. Though Woot Bear features many of the same stock as Kidrobot on Haight, it also features exclusives from special shows happening there, as well as special releases by local artists. Bonus: There’s a small chance you might run into the legendary Frank Kozik, because his workshop is behind the store front. The actual staff that runs the store is super nice, and super knowledgeable about the vinyl toy and art scene. Whether you’re a casual fan or a hardcore collector, definitely stop in to see what they have in stock.

Just like it’s affiliated store Kid Robot on Haight, this store has lots of urban art toys. It has a more curated collection without the clothing and a smaller selection of blind boxes. It also serves as a small gallery. This inner Richmond spot actually does have some more kid friendly items including Heidi Kenny’s yummy breakfast(cute food with faces) plush toys, kids chairs and pencil cases. If you’re looking for a gift for the eternal kid or a real kid, it’s a great spot to pick up something that is the opposite of Toys R Us.

Very cute store filled with Kidrobot Toys, Art and Exclusive Goodies! Your one stop shop for Cool & Kitsch! Perfect for gifts for that Geeky/Artsy someone. They also have new art shows all the time so this place is definitely worth checking out.

This is a great little shop! There is kidrobot stuff and exclusives made by Frank Kozik. Frank Kozik’s studio is in the back of the shop.
