Always a great spot to browse for comics and collectibles. The store has a fantastic atmosphere for fans, with friendly staff and a wide selection, especially for Marvel enthusiasts. Beyond comics, there’s a great range of Funko Pops, posters, and other collectibles.

The first thing you notice about this branch when you walk in is how clean and bright it all looks inside. Sometimes the basement levels of these places can be a bit dingy, but not so here. It was a genuinely inviting and pleasant environment to browse around. The layout was clear and well organized, found everything I was looking for (last issue of Transformers 23 on the shelf, where did they all go?) Everything you would normally expect from a branch of Forbidden Planet and I would definitely pay a return visit if I was ever in the area again.

Great shop for any collector or comic fan. Nice selection of figures, comics, graphic novels and many other collectible items. Not a massive store however as mentioned they have a great range of products. Staff are brilliant, location is great too as it is close to some hotels and there is also a tram stop just outside.

Whether you’re into comic book heroes, sci-fi, fantasy, or classic cartoons, there’s something for everyone. Their Funko Pop collection is particularly noteworthy, with a vast selection covering nearly every fandom. In addition to Funko Pops, the store features high quality figures and statues, catering to both casual and serious collectors. The knowledgeable and passionate staff enhance the shopping experience, always ready to assist and offer recommendations. Forbidden Planet is not just a store; it’s an experience. For all things collectible and cool. This is an great destination for all of the above.

Found this one to be much better than the Wolverhampton branch I visited last month. 2 whole floors of interesting pop culture items. Still a lot of things that can be found cheaper online though. It's my daughter's absolute favourite shop so I've been in a couple of times now, and will no doubt be back many more times at her request. Very easy to get to on public transport, as it has a Metro tram stop right in front (Bull Street).
