Meat place to visit with many comic and TCG related items as well as movie and toy merch. Wife and kids enjoyed it alot.

The place is great. There are way too many collectibles, trinkets, gadgets, cards, comics and other goodies to ever get bored. But prices on some of these items are just over the top. Dont get me wrong, a lot of things are well priced but Pokemon Cards (for example): the hype still exists but it is nothing compared to the Logan Paul incident and the others that took place early in the year, and yet they are buying singles for less than 50% retail value but selling 20%+ above retail. Now THAT is not nice. Again the place is great but things like that do ruin certain experiences/expectations. I do recommend visiting the place, but be wary of the cards haha

They sell new Pokemon sets for the same price as scalpers online, so dont plan on getting cards from them. They have a nice section of comics though.

Great selection of items. This was the only store in San Antonio that had the trading cards I was looking for. Employees behind the counter were very knowledgeable as well. I have been here twice now and will definitely come back when the next card set releases.

I have gone here to look for stuff for my son. The staff there are friendly I will give them that. But I emailed ADAM at least twice. The first time I waited 3 days to send them another email. I sent the second, then waited another 6 days before sending him what I really thought. I will be taking my business elsewhere. I will have nothing to do with this store anymore. I will be doing business else where

The actual store is pretty cool but they had a severe lack of anime/manga related stuff. I really wanted a one piece shirt but they didnt have any. Good prices tho

Very very big comic book and figure shop, they also had some really cool custom made models of things like the DeLorean or Optimus prime, not a bad shop

Love going to this comic book place. They always have a great line up of collectible action figures, comic books, and more. You can order comic books here too and have board game tournaments as well. Plus they have celebrities come over for autograph signings and pictures. Take it from me my last experience here for an autograph and picture experience was not so good. I was there from 9:00am and didnt leave till 12:30am. They werent organized at all during that event. I highly recommend to letting VIP pass to get in and out of celebrity autograph line and if you are staying and dont want to pay for VIP pass (which is understandable) take a folding chair and an ice chest full of waters, sodas, and food cause like me youll be there all day (if they are unorganized) and even better go in group so yall can take turns leaving to get food and rest. Just wanted yall to be aware of what yall are getting yourself into waiting in autograph and photo lines with celebrities there. Hope this review helps those who reads it and youre very welcome for the info.

Amazing place. Comics, books, games, cards, dice and so much! I could spend a ridiculous amount of money here in no time. Beginners to a lifetime of goodness in here. Also, large area for game play. Need to go here!!

Review №25

Love the selection of pops and Pokémon cards they have. Thats normally what I go in for. Some of the single packs and ETBs are a little pricey, not sure if they go to Walmart and targets to pick them up for the store, but they are about $20 more than retail at other big chains for the ETBS. Pop wise the new stuff is retail price, while the stuff in the case can vary. Alot of the times its a bit over PPG. But overall a decent store for collectibles!

Review №27

Always fun to visit this shop! So much to look at, buy, and the staff are always pleasant. Got my father a Funko figure for Christmas this year (I shop early, no judgement LOL) and was surprised at how affordable all of them were. Especially since Funkos are usually more expensive to buy in store rather than online. Not the case for this store! And a big selection too. Something for everyone.

Review №28

Heroes and Fantasies has a ridiculously enormous amount of comics, games and pop culture paraphernalia. You can spend hours here. They also have tons of events for new movies that are coming out and for gaming and convention promotions. The staff is getting much better than ever before and are starting to be more knowledgeable and helpful but can still use a little work.

If you love Marvel, anime, or comics, this is your place! Has a ton of amazing stuff! You’ll end up leaving with more than you expected. Some items are kinda overpriced compared to what is being offered online.

I found one comic book but not the other- had sold out! Prefer Comic Authority in south side! More homey & relaxed, not like employees stalking customers!

Review №32

Great place to go to and look for something you might need, want, or didnt know existed. Great place for kids to visit and see. What a collection of action figures, funko pops and so much more. Its always a pleasure to visit here and see whats new.

I came here with a friend of mine.. I was amazed at how much stuff this place had! Magazines, cards, cups, figurines, clothing, etc. They also have games in another area. Its huge in here, and its pretty cool. Its little pricey, but I get it. Its a pretty neat place.

Over all good place 2 shop and geek out just one complain about there card shop i ben shopping there for a while and I realized that there price where tcg near mint prices yet all there pokemon single cards are all lightly played i never had a problem whit that till I bought a 10 dollar card that has not only lightly played but a fake that really made me feel bad because I tought all my cards where fake and Im sorry to say but yall lost a good customer 😔 Im just saying if your gonna charge over tcg prices for your lightly played single cards at least make sure there real.

Ca
Review №36

Good selection, if a bit overpriced. Was about to leave when I thought of checking out their book selection just to be told “we are closed” while I tried to turn around at the door. They could have asked me what I was looking for, because I made some comments to my friends I know they overheard, but instead they were in a rush to get everyone out.Glad I didn’t spend money here.

This looks like a great place for graphic novels, comics, and other collectibles. But unless you are into Pokémon variants... look for your Tabletop fix elsewhere.

Review №56

Retail side is cool and always has interesting items however the card side seems worn down and uncared for. The two guys that work behind the desk desperately give off the “I don’t want to be here” vibe and when asking for assistance got short or rude comments. Maybe if your a regular you get better service but won’t be buying box sets from here anymore dragon lair might not have as much but their service alone beats this place. Again the other side is amazing and staff actual ask if needed assistance and helped direct me through the store only reason I’m giving three stars and not one.

Review №57

Lots of cool stuff. So many things to look at. I was surprised though, that from all the toys they had, I didnt see any Voltron. So much to look at that I didnt even make it to the comic books. Bathroom was a little dirty, but understandably since it is full of a bunch of guys (basically).

Best Comicbook store in TX!! Your FUNKO POP store. Stalked with tons of comics for all ages, beautiful figurines/statuettes, movie/superhero/gamer trinkets-anything from lanyards, pins, keychains, wallets, shirts, glassware,....just tons of novelty items galore! Inventory is forever changing due to collections of comics, cards, toys being bought and sold. If you see something you want best suggestion is to buy it right then and there because it will be gone tomorrow. Awesome lay-a-way plans with only 25% down and 2 months to pay it off. Special orders are welcomed.There is also a large gaming area and room where you can play in leagues, Pokemon, Yugioh prerelease events as well regionals in store.Family owned and operated with 3 stores throughout San Antonio. Of you want to purchase rare, vintage comics they have those too. Want to get your favorite comic graded or pressed, they do can set it all up for you. Its truly a collectors dream. Employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and appreciative in regards to the value of many of the items/collections sold, purchased, or traded. This is a nerds paradise, a Gen X-ers nostalgic flashback, an avid collectors wildest fantasy, a gamers home away from home, and a childs toy store!Totally worth the hours youll spend in there.Just saying,....

Review №66

This place is awesome, it has all the Nerdy things if you will that you can imagine. Funkos, Statues, Yu-Gi-Oh/Pokemon Cards, Comic Books, Modern Action Figures, Retro Action Figures and everything in-between, the only gripe I have is that they dont have too many Predator themed items.

Review №67

Cool store. Tons of stuff that will cause you to spend your paycheck. Only thing that bothered me is they should have a military/student discount considering all the schools and bases in this city. For the record Im neither but other businesses do it and they should too.

Ni
Review №68

Very low trade in value if you want cash they are going to be making a 70% mark-up and if you want trade in value its still 50% I know as a business you need to make money but those are some pretty steep profit margins I would not recommend selling or trading your stuff here.

This is one of the best places Ive been to in San Antonio as far as board games and nerd culture. Theres something for everyone here. The employees are great. Theres room to play tabletop and card games. The board games section is a little limited from other places but it makes up for it in the other areas of interest

Have you ever felt like being an adult is nothing like the innocence of childhood? The responsibilities of parenthood and all that come with it such as; mentoring, loving, tutoring, working, shouldering, worrying, sacrificing, to name a few, makes an individual age gracefully. When you walk into Heroes and Fantasies with the vast selection of toys, & collectibles & the great customer service that they provide, A person can become lost in time as well as lost in maturity as an individual transforms into a big kid. My wife transforms into my mother trying to keep up after me and telling me No, I cant get this or that toy, & that I can only spend so much. I love it there! Thank you guys for all your service and work. So if you all want a blast from your memorys past, visit Heroes and Fantasies located on NW loop 410 between callaghan and Evers. You will not regret it, unless you overspend. Then you will have to answer to mom, aka wifey and your budget.

You can scroll and look at many other reviews to see the card section markup/scalping has become a real problem here. 2/3 people I dealt with in the card section on different visits were nice, but overall I probably wont be spending more money on cards here. The price of packs compared to MSRP is insane. I also got overcharged on card sleeves that were marked 5.99 and got charged 7.99 a pack. Please stop making it hard to support your business by scalping us.
