Every few feet you would hear a chuckle, a laugh, or someone saying, "Oh G-d". These were people checking out the exhibits at Obvious Plant's Museum of Toys, open now through March 17. Each day open allows you to take a look at an alternative history of toys so horrible in nature you'll just have to take photos. And taking photos are encouraged.
We chatted with Obvious Plant aka Jeff Wysaski about his museum opening here. Check it out to get his perspective on why he open such a weird pop-up.

If you look through our gallery below, there's a great section dedicated to fake Gamecube titles, our favorites being Wind Cop 3 and Very Far Away Horse. It's only one section of wacky as different eras of odd toys are everywhere.
Go all the way in to the back and you'll be probably frightened by the Mr. T devoted art show. It's all Mr. T dolls strung up on the walls. Now, it's not a serial killer's lair, it's just an art exhibit. We think.
We had fun walking around this silly little pop-up, so head there if anything in the gallery below excites and you want to share on your feed. We didn't take a picture of everything, but a good chunk of it.
