This store traffics in the kind of gift your teenage cousin with a certain sense of humor would enjoy. They have most of the collection of action figures including the complete librarian and one of the popes. They also traffic in devil ducks and pez candy. This can be a fun store to visit if you are in the right mood or need to purchase cheap party favors. Prices are relatively low but there is often a long line so check out their website as well. http://www.mcphee.com/

I went to Archie McPhee's looking for party favors for my son's birthday. While I didn't find any affordable favors (meaning I would have to buy 25 of them - buying just 1 of something would definitely be affordable!), I did have a lot of fun looking around the store. I ended up buying a little velvet crown for my son to wear at his birthday party. It's enjoyable to browse. They have every little plastic figure that you could want. There is a supplemental Archie McPhee's next door that I didn't venture into (yeah, that place probably had affordable party favors galore!). Still, I enjoyed the McPhee's experience.

It's all the things you never thought you'd need - or that anyone else would ever need - all under one blessed roof. It reaches your deepest desires - your inner superhero, your inner nun, your inner clown, your inner dirty old man, your inner moron. Somehow, someway - that little plastic, cheaply-made object was meant for you. So, you buy it. And you love it. And you love Archie McPhee for being in this world.

This is an ultra-hip and ultra-fun toy store. These are the kitschy toys that you can't find anywhere else. Decent location, and what a blast it is to find these more-rare toys. I see a lot of 20-somethings loving this trendy store though - this is mainly for them, not really for the little ones. If an early-20-something had a little one, this would be the perfect store for them LOL.

Archie McPhee’s is way more than a store; it’s an experience. A great place to bring kids, out-of-towners, a date, or just to chase away the winter blues, Archie’s will make you feel like a kid again. All kinds of unique and weird stuff, from random imports, to fake mustaches, to garden gnomes await you there.

What can I say about Archie McPhees that won't make me smile. It is a great place to get party supplies of all kinds. Especially silly things from 5¢ trinkets to punching puppets to hand shaped chairs. Fake food, Easter Island statues, life-sized skeleton, Bigfoot action figures and much much more. It is a must look for the fun side in us all. And they have off street parking on Market Street in Seattle. Yippee!

Archie McPhee is truly an outfitter of popular (and unpopular) culture. If you stop in, make sure you have at least an hour to look around. Some of the stuff you can get: enough Tiki theme items to outfit an entire room, tiny glass bottles reminiscent of old medicine dispensaries, tin lunchboxes warning you of the dangers of syphilis, and fighting alien puppets. They have drawers upon drawers filled with little plastic figures and spare parts from electronic and mechanical gadgets, which are great for the budding artist in you. It definitely caters to your inner geek too, with such gifts as the Internet urinal and coke bottle glasses. Finally, if someone you know has never gotten over the action figures of their youth, you can set them up with so many quirky action figures that they'll never tire of them (especially since they come out with more all the time). Shushing librarian, barista (with interchangeable heads), Cleopatra, Sigmund Freud, male nurse, and much much more. The home decorating annex across the parking lot from the main store is pretty cool, but most of the stuff is not affordable to your average shopper (many large decorative items cost several hundred dollars). Do check out the sheet materials in the back and the less expensive home decorating items though.

Definitely the place to head if you are looking for an unusual or outlandish hard to find item! They have every thing you could never imagine existed! They have a good sized selection of Hawaiian stuff, Pez dispensers, costumes, wigs and a jillion trinkets of every kind. This would be the "Dysfunctional Family's Christmas Stocking Stuffer" utopia if I ever saw it!

Archie McPhee's is full of plastic fish, cel phone buddha, mexican wrestling masks and a million other odd items that you never even knew you needed. The new location in Ballard is huge. They have the main store and across the parking lot they have a store with the larger home decor items. You know, plastic hand chairs, jolly roger bathroom sets and fake trees. The catalog is much easier to take in - I find the actual store to be a sensory overload. Lots of great kitschy decor and gifts.

You could easily find something fun that would work for a guy or girl at Archie McPhee. They have all kinds of crazy random stuff like Bendy Smiley toys, tiki mugs, Pirate lunchboxes, Jesus action figures, and other weird and unusual gifts. I got a set of really cute tiki-mug shot glasses there for around 10 bucks. You could also get one of their neat metal lunchboxes and fill it with other oddities from the store. They've expanded into the space next door, so after you look in the main store, head across the parking lot for more stuff in the adjacent building. Have fun!
