I found this tiny vintage Shackman dollhouse TV the other day. Made of all wood and from Japan, originally it had a picture of waterfall taped inside the oval screen opening, but it was ripped anyway, so I replaced it with a picture of Peter Cushing as the heart-stopping zombie, Arthur Grimsdyke, via Amicus Studio's truly excellent Tales from the Crypt (1972) film. Much better, eh? And who's that planted right in front of the bubu tube in a comfy red bean bag chair and watching this frightening drive-in classic? Why, it's Labubu and her boney boyfriend, Tycoco! Now, TFTC isn't a 3D movie, but Bubu's wearing 3D glasses anyway for some reason, --and still seems to be totally into it! But despite being a fleshless bag of bones like scary old Mr. Grimsdyke, Tycoco doesn't seem to be enjoying the movie at all-- wahh! Oh well, there's always cartoons and blind box toy unboxing vids on youtube that they can totally just watch later.
Labubu TV is part of the one-off "hanging card" figure series, via Pop Mart / How2work.
