If I ever owned a collectibles store, I would want it to look exactly like Gods & Monsters. This…read moreplace is impressively clean, fun, and thoughtfully laid out. Everything is where it should be--grouped by theme or franchise--so browsing feels more like exploring a curated pop culture museum than digging through clutter at some grungy and junky comic shop. The selection is fantastic: from comics and statues to posters, small plush, otaku, Pops, action figures, high-end collectibles, and more! Whether you're a gamer, a movie buff, sci-fi fan, or just love cool merch, you'll find something to geek out over for sure. The staff? Genuinely great. Friendly, welcoming, and super knowledgeable without being pushy. You can tell they love what they do, and it will make your experience that much better. You can actually have a real conversation with these guys! I am so tired of visiting stores that hire snotty, vacant, or indifferent employees. You DO NOT have to worry about that here. Oh, and they've got a geek bar inside the back of the store. Seriously. It was a bit too early in the day for me to grab a drink but it looked awesome the way it was decorated, so I'm definitely coming back with my wife some evening (and hopefully soon!). Plus, they're open late--huge win. Also, the location is perfect... right off International Drive and not far from Universal Studios. Whether you're a local or visiting Orlando, this is a must-stop spot. Highly recommended.

We needed a costume for Megacon and ended up at Gods and Monsters, what a fun little spot! Parking…read morewas easy and plentiful, and the store is tucked inside a cute covered plaza. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. While we wish they sold more masks and costume accessories, we were pleasantly surprised by how many cool items they did have. The store is very clean and well-organized. Highlights included the giant Gremlins and Pokémon vending machine, though sadly it was out of order, it was still fun to see! We also noticed a neat speakeasy out back that we definitely want to check out next time. Overall, this is a great spot for any nerd, collector, or cosplayer. We really enjoyed our visit and plan to come back!

This shop is a perfect example of it. I originally looked online for everything and anything anime in Orlando for my first weddig anniversary because we do things differently hahaha. But I came across the most curious death note joke video when it came to this shop on Facebook and thought, why not. When we got there I immediately recognized the man from the video who happened to be the owner. Carlos, the owner, greeted us right off the bat and we felt from the first moment that this place was all about attention to the customers. We looked around and saw a variety of items and art pieces that to be honest stole my wife's heart--she's the hardcore fan. As we browsed the selection I also happened to overhear the owner suggesting a customer some anime. Seemed like the customer was getting a gift for someone but knew nothing himself to which then Carlos displayed his true knowledge off anime. He suggested the show after asking the customer his usual style of TV pretty much. If you've read any of my reviews, you'll notice I take high notice in customer service and this establishment surpassed it. It's nice to come across shops that will give you the true sensation of what a mom and pop shop can truly be. As a native New Yorker stuck in the land of Florida it can be a warm feeling to find places like this one. The selection isn't huge, but it's enough. Looking forward to stopping by in the future and hope they stay as authentic as they seemed to be!

I'm going to sound like such a shill but I had to add this shop to Yelp after stumbling upon it…read morewhile on vacation in Orlando, and wish I'd thought to take some pictures while there. When we pulled into the parking lot and saw how small the store was, we were pretty disappointed. However, we had fun browsing the small selection they had. Posters, figurines, keychains, stickers, wall art, etc. There was merchandise from older anime like inuyasha, death note, DBZ, etc and of course newer ones like demonslayer. I have to admit selection was limited, though the employee did tell us they could order out of stock items for us (but we aren't local :(). What is truly special about this shop is the friendly community feel. There is artwork for sale (I assume) from local artists with many different skill levels and styles. My boyfriend ended up getting a cute Emilia (re zero) figuarts figurine which was nice quality. It happened to be the day before my friend's and my birthday (we are not twins lol) and once she learned this, the employee did this cute celebration, playing a prerecorded song by the employees (?). It was a little bit cringe but 100% wholesome. They also gave us each a choice of a keychain as a birthday gift! Even after we said we were flying out of Orlando that day. I rarely see such good will these days and it was a wonderful surprise. I would stop by if I'm ever in the area again.

What a fun spot to check out so many goodies!…read more Vintage Clothing from the 60s to the 90s with a small mix of newer items. Something for everyone for sure. It's kinda like a pop-culture closet. Think old barbies, unique collectible toys like trolls, to bellbottoms. They also have a small changing room to try things on before you buy them. I imagine it to be a playground for a set producer for movies/tv shows from back in the day. Like the goodies you see on The Goldbergs. Remember, some of these items are super rare so the prices may be high, depending on the rarity. If you have a cool gift to buy for a friend and know they love collectibles or items that bring back memories and like a unique piece, stop in here for sure. They also take bulk button orders. So many gift ideas! Check out their insta for some awesome finds: https://www.instagram.com/kick_bright_shop_and_buttons/

I haven't actually been here since my boyfriend and I broke up; however, I was in the area at beauty master and I decided to stop and see what they had and I'm so happy I stopped. I spoke to Gabe at the counter when he rang me up all the opened Funko's or four dollars so I snagged Mr. Oogie boogie. I will be cleaning him up and dusting him off and then I will be bedazzling him. Most of the comics I got besides from the two dollar comic were $.50 apiece and then he also bagged them up and put a paper backs in them as well for me. They sell them for I think $.15 apiece for the bags in the bags; they also own the store next-door, which is called last pack magic it is a trading card game store. If you are ever in the area, Mike's comics and collectibles has a wonderful selection of $.50 comics as well as comics that come out now I highly recommend stopping here. Gabe was super nice and gave exceptional guest service. 10/10

I wanted to engage someone who worked there to find out more about an item, but they were too busy in a personal conversation And I did not wish to disturb them. At no point was I greeted in the store or made to feel welcome. In the end, I just moved on and didn't make a purchase. Some of what they had was well priced but some of it just felt really high to me. I understand that a lot of this is Collectables in the prices can be higher plus much of it comes from out of country and tariffs can drive the prices up as well. I would definitely shop here if these were the collectibles or toys that I was looking for. They did have a pretty good selection for a small location. Maybe next time will be better.

I arrive soon after they opened and interacted with the employees immediately. I was told and if I need anything to just let them know, and I just said, dice. They appointed me to the back of the store and told me where they would be. I wandered them back and took a look at their selection. I immediately found a set that would fit the bill for this occasion. I looked through a bunch of the store before having someone get them from the cabinet for me. I felt that I did really good because I only bought one comic book. I love these stores because everyone is friendly that works in them and I can always find way too many things that I want to buy. If you have young children that are struggling to start reading, you should consider starting them on comic books and getting them to actually read the words in them because it has been proven that children who start with comic books tend to learn to read younger, and then read throughout their lives . Obviously, you should only buy things that you feel are safe for your children, and there is always something to fit that bill.
