Penang Toy Museum

We saw this Toy Museum on the way to Sandy Beach Paradise on our last day in Penang. And both of us screaming

"Eh toy museum!! Jom pegi!!!"

It is right in front of Copthorn so we drop by on the way back to KL after checked out from Sandy.

Parking if everywhere and free but it will be a bit hassle to find the spot as it's limited. We have to find dekat kawasan perumahan and walk for about 50m. With mykad the admission will be RM10. Without mykad it will be RM20.

When we stepped in, it feels like we are trapped in a BIG box full of toys and people! You have to squeeze in and it smells a bit, I think because of the small room. Small because of the abundance toys and figurines. But after a while, you will forget the mild stench and enjoy the browsing.

There are excessive characters from everything. Movies, cartoons, celebrities, stories, events, etc etc.

Rockstar
Kurt Cobain with his guitar

KISS

Kawai-ness
I have no idea who she is but it is super kawaiii!

Movies
ET - This movie is born in the same year with me!

My fav click, Monster Inc.

Hola!

MrComot with DV

Ghost Rider (as corrected by MrT. Thanks budak! :P)

Semi-obscene
Satu keping je ok ;)

Scary/Horror
They have so many of this. I wonder laaa siapa yg fancy this type. It is psychotic ok.

Chucky and his knife

Cultural
It is very detail

Barbie in tradisional costume

There are many many more such as Star Wars, WWF, War, Indiana Jones, Matrix, Harry Porter, Tomb Raider, Shrek, Garfield, Atoman, Captain Planet, etc etc.

You have to bring camera else, the tour won't be fun!

And there are sooo many figurines you will want to snap with different angles. My fully charged camera didn't last for all the toys and we managed to snap over 200 pictures only *sob sob*.

(note: have to buy extra battery for honeymoon trip later)

The room design also not bad and you don't have to go to Cairo to do this:-

Overall it is an interesting showroom and worth every penny of it. The only drawback is, because everybody is touching the plastic 'cage' so it's hard for you to take some close-up pictures as it will be blurred with fingerprints.

Maybe they can change the thick plastic to glass cage? But I guess it's too expensive and harder to maintain.

Anyway, don't forget to drop by if you are in Penang, and bring your extra batteries :D

  5. hye..

    i stumbled upon ur blog from along's.

    btw, i went there in 2007. time tuh rasanya baru bukak kot. according to the locals there, the museum was once a pub/nightclub. that's why if u perasan, the decrorations, the chairs (yg mcm kat pub punye stool tuh) n tiang2 tuh mmg mcm dlm nightclub. hehehhe..

    tp syok kan museum tuh?? we spent few hours jugak kat situ. beratus2 gambar yg diamik, sampai penuh camera. hehehehe..
