If The Wizard of Oz included the dropping of a nuclear bomb, then the cast would probably have resembled these post-apocalyptic Wizard of Oz figurines. This is such a cool re imagining of a classic film.
Imagine Dorothy running around the ruins of Oz trying to get back to the ruins of Kansas. The cowardly lion would be ready to crack the skulls of cannibalistic flying monkeys. I like the post-apocalyptic Wizard of Oz better than the real one. Kudos to Myö for creating these epic toys.
