Toy museum opens in Oklahoma

PAULS VALLEY, Okla. -- A unique museum celebrating action-figure toys has opened here with as many toys in its collection as there are people in the town.

"There will be people who just don't get it," Lenny Brumley, president of the new Toy and Action Figure Museum, told The Oklahoman. "Until they come."

The museum, which opened Oct. 15, was created in large part with the help of volunteer labor and donated supplies.

The big names -- Superman, Batman, Spider-Man -- are easy to spot, but there are also other characters, like Captain Planet, Bart Simpson and even the Coneheads from the movie remake of a "Saturday Night Live" skit.

Exhibit rooms include Action City and the Super Girls Room. Colorful murals cover the pastel pink walls.

Kids will be allowed to play with older, out-of-the-box action figures. Donated toys will replace ones that inevitably will break or disappear.
