Like many great Malaysian tourist attraction, this place charged different admission rates for locals & foreigners. Is the government subsidising my entrance fee as well? haha
My skepticism quickly fade away upon entering & seeing the size of the collection. The place was lined with rows upon rows of shelfs crammed full of toys. The collection is so huge, they can divide it into different sections.
There is large section dedicated to Star Wars & LOTR action figures. So many in fact the owner probably had trouble fitting them inside the display shelfs. I think those figures alone would cost him a fortune.
The museum even had life size version of the characters. The owner really had an unhealthy obsession with his toys here. I mean, who in their right mind would want a life size Jar Jar Binks? As if the movie version is not irritating enough!
Not to mentioned, Mr. Potato Head version of Darth Vader, Storm Trooper & R2D2
Dead celebrities & pro wrestlers had their own toys too. The whole Smackdown thing really brought back memories of the days when I used to rush back from tuition classes to catch the show. We discussed about the plot lines the next day in school, sometimes even trying a few wrestling moves on unsuspecting friends.....Ahh, those were the days.
Layeth The Smackdown
Aside from all the big boys toys, there are some cute cartoon characters to make the kids & um, adults happy
But the coolest toys were all reserved for the Chamber of Horror section
