You will find
many characters here that you remember - and still more
characters that you have forgotten. We hope that we provide you
with a few minutes of relived childhood memories as you browse
our wares and even better still - give you the chance to own some
of the things which you always wanted but never got, or once had,
now lost, broken, damaged or beyond repair.

The Naff Toy Shop has scoured the land in search of some of the
craziest, strange and downright wacky stuff that they could find.
They hope the result is a collection of unusual products, great
for you, or perfect for that unusual gift idea.
