Curious Mini Shopping Cart Models – Collectable, Probably

You just have to complete a few searches on the net to realise that the market in collectable miniatures is immense and covers just about everything from cars to houses and even miniature designer chairs but, whilst we like to think we’re fairly broadminded here at TFTS, we just cannot quite get our heads around these curious mini shopping trolleys.
Leaving aside the fact that these are shopping carts for a moment, the quality of the craftsmanship and the level of detail is actually quite astounding, with each cart being constructed from metal and coming complete with working castor wheels and even a working, folding child seat. They are even stackable.

Somewhat more bizarrely is the fact that, as can be seen in the animation above, whilst these are miniatures, as far as miniatures go they’re actually alarmingly large, with each model measuring in at 14cm in height and 15cm in length.
Perhaps it’s just us but we really can’t quite fathom who would want these on their mantle piece or in their display case but, just in case you’re reading this and simply cannot envisage living without one of these, you can purchase them from this online store.
