Great place to find some real niche figures that you don't tend to find on the high street. Comic book city downstairs and the ground floor has the best selection of horror movie figures in Leeds

This place has lost its original personality. I went recently with a friend and it wasn't the Forbidden Planet I was familiar with, 5 years ago. The cellar is full of merch. Before, it used to be full of manga and graphic novels. Now it's overpriced tat. This goes for upstairs as well. Disappointing...

The staff were friendly and helpful. There was a good selection of blind boxes, the reason I took my wife there. Unfortunately that meant I had to buy some for her.

If I am ever visiting a city that is lucky enough to have a Forbidden Planet branch then I will absolutely adapt my plans around that and make sure I drop by. This particular branch compares very favourably with others I have seen. Ground floor is bright and welcoming, with well laid out eyecatching displays throughout. For me personally there's something about just standing in front of a well stocked shelf full of toys and taking it all in that somehow takes me back to my own childhood. I've got a bit more pocket money now, but still have to make some hard decisions. Then there is the usual descent into the basement level and all those lovely comics. Never fail to find something of interest here. This is the place where it's okay to buy toys and read comics whatever age you are, and long may it continue.
