Happy third anniversary, Kappa Toys. Since 2014, the beloved Container Park toy shop has kept us stocked with yo-yos, Japanese figurines, classic board games and ballpoint pens that speak with George Takei’s voice (oh, my). Now Kappa has opened a second location at the Linq Promenade, and co-founder Lizzy Jane Newsome Yopp says that might only mark the start of a fun revolution. “When we [Yopp and her husband, Trevor Reeves Yopp] came up with this concept, the idea was always to have a positive effect on the toy industry,” she says. “There’s a rather stark disconnect between what adult and kid customers want to see in toys, and how manufacturers respond. We want to grow to the point that we’re able to make toys based on what customers are looking for and can’t find.” We’ll happily play along.
