Action Figure Museum



Good Friday is not typically a holidy we get off from work. Every couple of years, though the stars align and the big wigs grant us the day off.

So with an extra day with nothing we wanted to do (around the house anyway), Robely and I headed off on a road trip. During our treks back and forth to OKC we have been seeing signs for The Action Figure Museum, and being the geeks we are were intrigued. Finally the time had come to indulge our curiosity.

Nestled in the quaint downtown of Paul's Valley, Oklahoma this museum does double duty as the Oklahoma Cartoonists Museum as well. The main draw of the museum was this one HUGE diorama that seemed to be the founder's collection of toys spread all over a mock bedroom in animated poses.

He had quite the collection, though I was a little disappointed in the lack of anime related pieces. Unfortunately, Robely has decided we need to add a room on to the house so she can create her own "doll" museum.(See more photos)
Afterwards, we took a scenic drive across the state to hit the casino in Durant, OK. Right away I won about 80$, but instead of walking out and going home, I proceeded to lose it and a lot more over the next hour. *Sigh* When will I ever learn?
