Tatertot Comics and Collectibles feels like stepping into a geeky treasure chest, watched over by friendly NPCs. If Smaug had a collection of Pokémon cards and Magic: The Gathering singles instead of gold, this would be it.
Looking for comics? They have a huge selection, from affordable reads to pristine collector copies that seem to beg, “protect me in mylar.” The Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering inventory is incredible, with singles and sealed products. It’s as if Professor Oak and Jace Beleren teamed up to create a store.
D&D players, celebrate! The miniatures selection is so vast it feels like they accidentally looted a wizard’s workshop. Need books or source material? They likely have the tome that can bring your entire campaign back to life or help you craft a new multiverse.
And let’s not forget the play area; it’s large enough to host Friday Night Magic and the occasional goblin uprising. They are organizing events like Pokémon Trade Nights and Trivia nights, so whether you're a lore expert or a meme enthusiast, there’s something for you.
In brief, if Tatertot Comics and Collectibles were an item, it would be Legendary Tier with +5 to Charisma and Community Engagement. I highly...
Read moreI was desperate for a place where I could just be a nerd without worrying about what other people thought when I stumbled into tatertot… what I saw when I walked in was nothing short of the perfect nerd oasis… funko ✅ new comics ✅ back issues ✅ magic ✅ Pokemon ✅ vinyl records ✅ sports cards ✅ 3D printed goodies ✅ an amazing staff of people ✅ Speaking of the staff… these guys literally know everything there is to know about comics and the culture that surrounds it.

They do an amazing job of not only making everyone that walks through their door feel welcome and comfortable, they kill it with their pop up comic cons and parking lot sales, they engage with their fans on facebook, instagram and whatnot as well as the community… so if you’re ever in the Arnold/imperial area you’re doing yourself a disservice if you do not at the very least stop by and just take a look around! Hell, even if you’re just passing through Missouri heading somewhere down 55, just make a quick pit stop and check it out, it’s worth the...

Walked into Tatortot Comics just to “browse.” Three hours later, I emerged with a bag full of comics, a new Funko Pop family member, and an inexplicable but intense craving for more Red Bull than I will ever need in my life.
The staff? Absolute legends. Brandon knew which Batman arc I was talking about based on three vague adjectives and a hand gesture. The other Two helped a kid find their first comic and honestly, I almost cried. It was like watching a Jedi pass down their lightsaber (Not in the Anakin way).
They’ve got everything: Marvel, DC, indie comics, manga, vintage stuff, action figures, posters, and at least one life-size Yoda who judges your purchases but in a supportive way.
10/10 would recommend. 11/10 if you bring snacks and prepare for a wallet...
