Found these nice toys/vignettes on UK based auction site Vectis. Most are beautiful but some are also quite weird/creepy. First the nice ones:
Now for the somewhat creepy ones, starting with elves - they look positively evil, like the ones suburbanites place on their lawns. These are supposed be for kids?
This looks like a pretty lonely stark scene for a toy. A little kid swinging on a tree that has twisted branches and no leaves. You can imagine that gate banging in the wind to the tune of creaking hinges.
Now for the Just Plain Weird:
Mr. Turnip Toilet Soap (a television favorite apparently)
Adolph Hitler's mountain retreat in Bavaria. Seems a little less weird when you see that it was built in the 1930's, long before Hitler's demise.

Love your collections! I completely agree with you: the elves look evil - evil elves! My favorite is a kid swinging on a creepy tree... what a scene can be maid! I am having chill already, hahaha... Natalia
