The Uncanny Tale of a Toy-Obsessed Local Business
The Spark That Ignited the Uncanny Flame
Picture this: a teenage me, spending every waking moment at the local comic book shop, dreaming of the day I could own every action figure on the shelf. But one soul-crushing experience later, I was ready to hang up my collector's hat for good. Fast forward a decade or so, and I found myself trapped in the "thrilling" world of banking. Sure, I learned a thing or two about customer service and the importance of being transparent and efficient, but let's be real – my soul was slowly withering away.
Filling the Gap for Collectors Everywhere
That's when I had my lightbulb moment. I realized that collectors outside of Dublin, Cork, and Galway were being left in the dark. No one was offering a fast, reliable service for those who lived beyond the big cities. The websites were clunkier than a Transformer with a rusty gear, and I knew I could do better. So, armed with my savings and a burning desire to create something incredible, I started Uncanny Collectibles in 2017 from my spare room.
Bringing the Joy of Collecting to Every Corner of Ireland
I embraced the online model to ensure that collectors throughout Ireland could access our incredible range of action figures, horror collectibles, and niche toys. No matter where you lived, Uncanny Collectibles was just a click away. We've got everything from NECA to McFarlane Toys, Trick or Treat Studios to Syndicate Collectibles. And if you're looking to sell or trade your collection, we've got your back like a trusty sidekick!
Geek Out in Person, Just Like You Always Wanted
As our online toy store grew, so did the demand for a physical space where collectors could visit, geek out, and see the goodies in person. We listened to our customers and opened our showroom in Dublin, providing a haven for collectors to explore and connect. It's like a secret lair for collectors who want to see the goods up close and chat with a fellow enthusiast.
Reliving the Magic of Childhood, One Action Figure at a Time
At Uncanny Collectibles, we cater to grown-ups who never really grew up. We understand the nostalgia and the yearning for that piece you could never afford or missed out on as a child. Now, with adult money and kids of your own, you can share those magical toys and experiences with a new generation. Whether you're a die-hard horror fan (like me with my borderline unhealthy love for the Evil Dead franchise) or an X-Men devotee (which inspired our name), we've got something for every collector who's still a kid at heart.
