Tips for a Better Visit
Confirm stock. Call or message before visiting for a specific Hot Toys item; one reviewer found the online stock information did not match the shelves.
Ask branches. If an item is missing in Dubai Mall, ask whether another branch has it or whether delivery can be arranged.
Check prices. Compare the shelf label with the register before paying, since one figure was reported as 100AED higher at checkout.
Inspect boxes. If packaging matters to you, ask about its condition before buying; one online buyer was told a figure’s box was slightly damaged.
Ask about sets. For blind-box collecting or gifts, ask whether a sealed set can be booked rather than choosing individual boxes.

The Bottom Line
The Little Things at The Dubai Mall in Downtown Dubai is aimed at collectors rather than ordinary toy shopping. The clearest draws in the reviews are anime figures, Hot Toys, Pop Mart items and character collectibles, with displays described as organized and easy to browse. One visitor also found Tomica 1/64 car models and considered their quality good.
Anime fans have mentioned One Piece and Demon Slayer figures, while another review points to Pokémon, Digimon and Yu-Gi-Oh trading card games. The range can include rare pieces and new drops, so it is worth allowing time to look rather than arriving with only one item in mind. The service is a notable strength.
Reviews describe patient product guidance, help finding specific figures, stock checks and, in one case, arranging delivery and online payment after an item arrived. Staff have also helped source products from other branches and book sealed blind-box sets. There are practical cautions.
A recent review says the website showed Hot Toys as in stock while the Dubai Mall shelves were nearly empty, and another found Pokémon cards unavailable. Check stock before travelling. Also compare shelf and register prices: one customer reported a 100AED difference on a figure.
The shop itself has been described as somewhat limited in space.
