On a recent trip to London, I got to make my first trip to the Disney Store on Oxford Street with a particular goal of visiting the D350 Fan Zone dedicated to Star Wars and Marvel.
The store is across three floors with the ground floor and basement in the established Disney Store format (not that there are any left elsewhere) with Disney-produced merchandise including their own brand clothing, soft toys, and action figures aimed at younger children. You can find the Star Wars and Marvel stuff on the ground floor at the time of our visit.
The D350 section is found on the First Floor and accessed via a stairwell which is decorated in Marvel and Star Wars imagery. Upstairs the layout is more 'grown up' and curated across different brands starting with Lego and moving to Iron Studios statues then round to a handful of Marvel Legends and Star Wars Black Series alongside Disney adult branded clothing and merchandise.
There is also a selection of props with a Sith Trooper from The Rise of Skywalker greeting you on arrival. You can also find full size prop relica's of Kylo Ren, Rey, and BB8 - and a Lego Thor. Other display cabinets carry smaller props such as Iron Man's helmet and a First Order Stormtrooper lid.
You are spoiled for choice if you are after clothing or higher-end items, but as an action figure collector they were a bit off pace with the newest Black Series figures being Padme and Anakin, and the only Marvel Legends being the peg warmers from the No Way Home wave.

About Me : As a child of the '70s and '80s I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force), and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licenses - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who, and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK-focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
