Can't believe this just came up on my You Tube feed. It opened in Denmark Street in the late 70s and I used to haunt the place around the early 80s when I worked in the Aldwych. Previously I used to go to Dark They Were And Golden Eyed. I remember finding that by accident, when I took a short cut down an alleyway, and thought I had died and gone to heaven. Both places hold a warm spot in my heart. They are both part of the reason that I now have a library of over 3,000 Sci-Fi and Fantasy books.
Same here m8, they were the golden days.
I remember the old location. The early 90s was a good time for comic book shops. Virgin megastore on Oxford street had a floor devoted to comics. As well as Hamleys on Regent street.
I always make a point of visiting Forbidden Planet when in London.
Yeah it’s a great shop!! I love it there!
Me too
Love forbidden Planet some nice pick ups aswell👌
Cheers Steve!!
Back in the day when it was two separate shops round the corner from each other (one was in Denmark street I think 🤔) it was really good....comics, paperbacks, collectables and a lot of variety... It feels like any other corporate owned shop now
I wish we had a Walmart and Target in UK too. Watched some amazing videos on toy hunting in the US...comic cons are fucking amazing too-omfg
I remember FP when it was in New Oxford St, quite a small shop back then, always love visiting when I'm around that area. FP & Denmark St for a guitar frenzy nerd out.
I remember the old forbidden plant on Denmark St back in the 80s wicked for comic collectors and had few toys stuff for sell. Now I go to new 1, once in a blue moon just to see the latest consumer junkies offering to the consumers, bit of a hit and miss really a lot of over priced plastic but dose have few good stuff on top floor. The basement is more latest comics and novel's, but being an oldish person I perfur the old shop with vintage comics, how time flys.
It made me smile how happy you was to find that Mouse Guard book, not aware of the franchise but I might have to check it out. That Madmartigan Funko was a bargain, great video...
Thanks 🙏🏻 mate!! Yeah I really do like mouse guard years ago the story telling and art got me!! Yeah Madmartigan pop £2.99 bargain
Great video Scott man, I’m definitely gonna pop up to Forbidden planet this week, that Darkwing duck has been on my rader 👌 some quality pieces in there 👍
Yeah I did tell you about that one
Used to be a whole bunch of comic shops within walking distance of fp's current location. All were great for back issues, current and curios etc..Unfortunately tat moved in . funko and such, no longer for comics , over priced toys in the guise of collectibles for the tourists only. Worth a look but not much else.
Yeah I remember the good old days of the independent comic shops everywhere
Hi I've just subscribed. Great video and awesome pickups especially the mouse guard book. The artwork looks really cool 👍
Thanks 🙏🏻 much appreciated. Hope you enjoyed
Thanks 🙏🏻 much appreciated. Hope you enjoyed
Those’d prices look terrifying, but then again it’s London 🤷🏻♂️🇬🇧🏴🏴🇨🇮🇯🇲🏴
I ordered the MacFarlane Flash Batwing online from this store. Love it so much. Great store but have seen websites in UK that sell even more amazing items.
I go there once a week! mainly to pick up a few comics I'm collecting. Hope I run into u one day :) I mainly go Saturday, 10 when it opens cos I'm busy the rest of the day. Next month is the final comic for the JL vs Godzilla vs Kong.
I was so happy with my last buy there! U know the mystery bag figural clips? I wanted Batman from The Flash movie set, got 3 bags cos they were on offer, opened up Batman on the 3rd bag ;-; So happy cos I got a New Batman backpack I wanted him for
Yeah I always go there if any marts are on via Sunday or during the week while at work on a Thursday. Nice!! Batman is always the one you want! I have brought a few variant covers on the JL vs Godzilla vs Kong, great art!!
I remember when that whole glass wall on the left as you walk in was purely 1/6 Hot Toys figures. Now it seems to only have part of it and with a lot of cheap junk either side.
Yeah full of NECA and Super 7 now
Guy with beard downstairs looks like joe hill
Pretty sure that is Joe Hill, did a double-take whilst watching.
That place is mahoosive. I'm planning a visit now 👊🏻
Yeah it’s a decent one to go too. It’s good a great range of stock at the moment too
so many hot toys...wish the Leeds one was as good
@@BlueHToys yeah it’s always got hot toys there! Plenty of them
Please keep the camera still, so we can have a good look aswell 🤷🏼♂️
When comic shops switched emphasis to toys and funko-sh*te instead of actual comics, they kind of killed the experience for me. I remember the original FP shop in Denmark Street, as well as Nostalgia & Comics in Birmingham.
Great Shop. Great Stuff. Just overpriced.
First and last time I was at FB London was 1987. I have bought odd times on line. It’s changed a lot since then.
Cool! I am heading to London next month and definitely will stop by. About the rack on Macfarlane Super Powers: any chance I can find the collection ships in there?
I am going to London very soon any other stores i could visit there besides forbidden planet?
There is a comic shop called Gosh and definitely the Disney store
Like the hoodie mate!
Cheers mate!! AEW 4 life
@@ScottsRetroCollectables Yeah AEW 4 life!
I dont like Pop's but even i would have buckled and got that Captain Planet one ... its very cool
If u ever do fan mail I will know what to send u now lol :D
Cheers mate!!
Nor been their for ages
hiya scott have u pre ordered the new street sharks?
No I haven’t. Super tempted those! Have you?
@@ScottsRetroCollectables deffo pre order them and yup i have
🤗 'promosm'
Thanks
Used to be good with lots of variety now too much manga and anime
I'de wager that over ¾ of the shit in that shop is moody Chinese gear.
Dude there's some cool stuff but you look at the crap .what's that about
F planet sucks just alot of modern rubbish that most people don't want vintage & retro stores are the best you can always find good stuff in three don't matter what it is
I love forbidden planet it’s always good to mix old with the new for the collection. I am not a fan of re issue figures those from the 80s and 90s
Know any good vintage and retro stores?
