Mini Nikon SLR in Japanese candy +

Gilco is one of Japan’s oldest candy companies, and is home to the popular Glico caramel candy as well as the legendary Pocky.

For about 80 years now, inside the Glico caramel candy boxes there is a small toy called “Omake of Glico” (Small gift of Glico). It started off as little toys kids would love such as toy cars and rockets. It soon came to include miniture models, such as this Nikon F SLR camera that would melt the hearts of adults as well.

What’s so crazy about this is the level of detail. While the cameras obviously don’t function, the above picture shows a real MACRO Nikkor 35mm F4.5 lens mounted to the mini-model.

Sugoi desu ne?

I’m not sure if it’s the same set or not, but I have a friend who has a bunch of these. The detail is amazing.

Thats amazing, I cant believe how detailed they are. Would be better if they actually worked though - wont be long till they get the cameras down to that small though!

pretty coo… I originally thought they were candy cameras and that would be pretty cool. Either way, you are right, the detail is nuts!
