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!!
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.
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 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 do love this store but it's cheaper online .. like lego stores you just walk round !but is always good to see things in a shop then go online.. amazing range of stuff here though!
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.
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...
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 👍
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 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.
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.
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?
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.
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

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
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 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

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.
Those’d prices look terrifying, but then again it’s London 🤷🏻♂️🇬🇧🏴🏴🇨🇮🇯🇲🏴
Like the hoodie mate!
Cheers mate!! AEW 4 life
@@ScottsRetroCollectables Yeah AEW 4 life!

Yeah I remember the good old days of the independent comic shops everywhere
Please keep the camera still, so we can have a good look aswell 🤷🏼♂️
I dont like Pop's but even i would have buckled and got that Captain Planet one ... its very cool
Pay a fortune to display these in bedroom and never get your end away
😂
some items are overpriced but defo a better visit than those dirty shops selling american sweets😮
Yeah, the sweet shops are massive over priced
Great Shop. Great Stuff. Just overpriced.
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
Nor been their for ages
🤗 'promosm'
Thanks
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?
Your sentence does not make sence
Used to be good with lots of variety now too much manga and anime
Forbidden planet used to be great now its just filled with tacky 💩
Massively over priced store
I love this store
Great store! It’s going to be busy now going into schools 6 weeks holiday
