Meet Retro Bobby: The Toy Collecting Barber
Retro Bobby is a video by Copenhagers that brings to light Bobby Agren’s retro toy/salon shop, Ruben & Bobby. Flashes of nostalgia are constant as the video, narrated by Bobby, tells us how his shop works and the fact that you can pay for a haircut with an old toy or game.
A collector and purveyor of retro toys and games, Bobby Agren will take your old toys off you for money, a haircut, or a barter. Narrated by Bobby himself, this six-minute video titled “Retro Bobby” and produced by Copenhagers, is a delightful capture of the essence behind Bobby’s Copenhagen-based trading station/salon. With the space dubbed Ruben & Bobby, the video takes you inside, panning the shelves aligned with vivid toys of old. Sega, Nintendo, Street Sharks and Micro Machines are but a few nostalgic featured items that will make you want to rummage through your own old toy chest. Not to forget the added hair cutting aspect, Ruban & Bobby also double-up as a salon with Bobby as the stylist, to which a haircut can be exchanged for vintage toys.
