Yes, the shipping can be high because they can't "cheat" and send comics via Media Mail like smaller sellers can. But that just makes bidding in person that much better, you lucky locals! Still some of the best packaging in mail order. Haven't been to the new location yet but looking forward to it!

They have so many comics and tons of toys for a variety of fandoms like Funko, DC, Marvel, wrestling.

Highly recommend this business and will definitely be back!

Oh Funky Town Toys. I've been a patron of this awesome store for a few years now. I first went into…read moretheir location on Hayes and Hall Rd. (they have moved since then) to snag some free comic books on Free Comic Book Day. I've been coming back ever since! My son loves to collect Star Wars action figures. I am also a child, so I love to browse and buy the occasional trinket or toy. The old location was a little small and tucked away in a relatively crowded strip mall on the bustling intersection of Hall Rd and Hayes. The drive there was frustrating enough to limit my appearances there. They have since moved to a new location...terrifyingly close by. Now it's super convenient to visit the new store. The strip mall they moved to is much less busy and the location is way easier to spot from Van Dyke. The interior of the store is jam packed with lots of collectibles. They have a variety of wrestling, GI Joe, Star Wars and Funko Pops to name a few things. There's so much more there too (like superhero themed comic books). With as much stuff as Funky Town Toys has, the inside of the store is quite clean and spacious. It's always a pleasure to walk around and look at all of the potential money I can spend on stuff! If you're into old and new action figures and collectibles, you should take a stroll into Funky Town Toys. There's lots to choose from...and if you're looking for something in particular...just ask and they will talk with you...and maybe they can find something for you. Seriously...I love this place. They always have a huge selection and the staff are incredibly nice. They also know a ton about collectibles. There's a parking lot right out in front of the store, but if it's full, there's a small public parking lot right around the corner! I did the ground work for you...now you have no other excuses. Go check them out. Thanks! Brian S.

I used to go to Comic Relief all the time back in the day. As a matter of fact, it was my go to…read moreshop. Then I stepped away from comic books for a while. Having recently returned to reading and collecting, I have had the opportunity to visit a couple of times. The first experience was very underwhelming. My friend and I went in looking for some back issues. There was a single person working who didn't even bother to greet us when we walked in or even say two words. As we hunted through the back issues, again, wasn't spoken to at all. Finally I asked about a couple books was basically waved over towards the general area. His dinner was much more important. (Spent over $30) But hey, everyone has an off day so I said I would give it another chance later on. Second experience started with a phone call that left me feeling like I was causing an inconvenience. But I wanted the books and they had them. So off I went. This experience was much like the last. Walked in and there wasn't anyone around at all. I found the book I was looking for on the shelf and grabbed it and proceeded to browse back issues again. Found some I wanted. Owner/manager finally appeared and chatted with another person that came in afterwards. Still didn't acknowledge me. Went to check out, stood at the counter while he wandered around. Finally noticed me. Checked me out ($40). Barely spoke. So...while they have a great selection of back issues and current stuff is usually in stock, I am about the experience as much as the purchase and it was just a sucky experience. Comic Relief was not a welcoming place. I don't know if it is because I am not a regular or what. If all you want is to get your books and leave, then have at it. If you want an enjoyable experience and especially if you are new to the store or comic collecting, I would recommend heading over to Amazing Bookstore on Richfield or, if you don't mind the drive, Coy Comics in Saginaw. Both places offer a great experience.
