Show your vintage Christmas and retro holiday decor - Beyond Tiki

My wife and I has been collecting these piece for over 20 years. Been on the road so I didn't reply earlier. Note: I was watching your clip of the film to compare buildings from the film with the display replica and from the sign down to the ground it's a good copy including the Chinese characters on the sign. From the sign up it's been heavily augmented so the building would fit in a Chinatown neighborhood and not a building from anywhere middle America. Some of these displays where manufactured in China so the calligraphy on the sign are correct and the faces of the Chinese figurines are well done without being caricatures. Side note: I bought a cheap and tiny MP4 player and tiny speaker and I played that "Ringle Biels" song and William Hung's "Hung for the Holidays" classic Christmas CD (sarcasm) and hid them in the Chinatown Christmas display for more atmosphere. Ha ha ha, not ho, ho, ho. Happy Holidays everyone!!!!
