Images from the Totoman Museum in Seoul

This tiny little "museum" is a rambling assemblage of old toys, kitsch from Korean childhoods, old school stuff, piles of tiny figures and sensational movie posters. Here are some highlights from the collection:


Twins, separated at birth?


This little guy was angry because he was only 3 inches tall.


Astro boys and friends


This "king" baby and his friends are the stuff nightmares are made of


You've come a long way, baby!


Donald Duck and friend


Bald, yet hairy, clown


Translation: "I've Been Tricked!"


Get your shots!


Mickey has more friends than Donald


Military miniatures


Is this monkey the homekeeper? You decide.


Translation: "Now Is Not the Time to Die"


You can never have enough


This calendar was advertising a pharmacy


Korea's version of ugly dolls


Wonder Woman's "Whatever I Want" Notebook


The Wrestler
