Forbidden Planet International Belfast

Speaking of all things Doctor Who we are very pleased and excited to announce we will be participating in this years Doctor Who Day on 24th Nov 2018. Our favourite show has been enjoying something off a joyous resurgence in the public imagination off late thanks to hugely successful Jodie Whitaker and Chris Chibnall's brand new season. Its that magical renewal Doctor Who achieves every now and again and one of the main reasons it remains such a cultural icon. So why not show a little support for this very special show on this special day, come along, join in, all are welcome.

The Missy and Master team up we never got to see. More of a "Scream Up" than a team up, you can just imagine the madness and mayhem this scream team would unleash upon a quaking universe, terror spread wide, from Logopolis to Green Island, oh the horror! Thanks as always to Hedge Scout and chums for this glimpse into their Whoniverse.

It takes a devil to kill a devil! 😈 . Don't forget, all Manga is 3 for 2, cheapest free!

Just look at this beautifully striking subscribers exclusive cover for the latest Starburst. From the pen and brush of local artist Mark Reihill. Wonderfully timed in that it ties in with phenomenally successful first season of Jodie Whitaker's tenure as The Doctor, breaking records and stealing hearts all over. Mark is a hard working and prolific artist who's work takes him far far afield from the shores of Northern ireland. Quite right too, such Art belongs to the world.

The ex Sex Pistols manager malcolm McClaren once suggested the purpose of popular cukture, i.e.Music movies, television, fashion, is to act as a cushion against the grind of daily existence ( And even if he did not say that he would no doubt lay claim to it if he liked the sound of it. He was ever the Magpie.) Given this possible truth, want then do we turn to when we require a cushion for our imaginations? Well you could do worse than to turn to The Umbrella Aca...demy, that amazing bastion of New Weirdness created by the literal dream-team of Geard Way and Gabriel Ba. If you have read the two previous series from Dark Horse comics no explanation is necessary,, if not then here is an excellent introduction and jump on point with the publication of the first issue of Umbrella Academy Hotel Oblivion. In this funny old world of ours The New Weird is not just something glimpsed from the corner of your eye anymore... It is right in front of you.

Thanks FB

Love this place. What can I say, it caters for everyone. Have been looking for specific things and was able to get it here. Love my superman and D.C stuff and was amazed at the selection.

Just want to thank the guy that dealt with me on Thursday I can't remember his name unfortunately but he was so helpful and nice even though I was torture. Best customer service I have received highly recommend!

I've been shopping at Forbidden Planet Belfast since as long as I can remember and I've always walked around the store in awe of all the cool merchandise they have in stock. Brilliant team behind the scenes too.

I had a few problems with a model I purchased from your store yesterday. I would just like to thank your staff for the excellent service they provided.

Huge thank you to Malachy (unsure if spelt correctly Soz!) for helping out my Dad & brother when he came into the store last week looking for a marvel tie. This was for a little boys funeral who sadly passed away from cancer & had a love for superheros. They were desperate for a Marvel themed tie for the funeral & couldn't find one anywhere in such a rush. Malachy went out of his way to offer to bring one in from home the next day as he said he owned some himself. Beyond greatful for this, was such a kind thing to do! Much appreciated on behalf of my brother & Dad!

Have just left after taking my son in for his first ever comic. A massive thank u to the guy serving us who gave him some extra ones that had been left over. Hes delighted hopefully starts him on his comic book journey

Great selection of comics, figures and games and the most helpful and pleasent staff in the store.

Good shop. Great bunch of guys working there. You can leave for five years and pop back in and pick up the conversation right away

Exceptional customer service everytime I visit, with an extensive range of stock to suit every taste. I have been a customer for over 25 years and look forward to every return visit for purchases for myself, family, friends and gift ideas and to enjoy my experiences with friendly and welcoming staff.
