Interesting — turns out there is actually a Toy and Action Figure Museum in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. It just opened this past October.
According to its mission statement page,
Our mission is to educate & excite visitors with a comprehensive collection of classic “pop culture” toys, with an emphasis on the social & historic evolution of the action figure & to serve as a catalyst for the economic revitalization of historic downtown Pauls Valley.
It is the goal of the museum to pay tribute to the designers, sculptors, and toy companies that have turned action figures from a child’s plaything to a work of art.
Nice idea for a museum. Lousy idea for a downtown revitalization project.
