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
Buddhist monks in training, perhaps?
