In Japan, Gilco candy is sort of like our Cracker Jack, including a small toy in each box. But unlike Crack Jack, Gilco’s toys don’t totally blow.
Discovered in Gilco boxes back in 2002, this Nikon F is a somewhat remarkable mini SLR replica, going so far as to acknowledge the two different body finishes and truly interchangeable lenses. Even though this Nikon F is completely non-functional, I like to imagine squinting through its minuscule viewfinder while delicately tweaking the focus ring. Then I like to imagine dropping the camera, accidentally stepping on it and chastising myself for investing in impractical photography equipment, again. [Glico Nikon F Miniature via Neatorama]

One misspelling!
Two misspelling!
Three misspelling!
Ah ah ahhhhh.
Okay, so my attempt at putting Count von Count’s laugh into text is awful, but really… writing “Gilco” thrice when the correct spelling – Glico – is not only in large letters on the source page, but copy/pasted into the source link?
