No child's dollhouse would be complete without a handmade miniature working TV. Now your "kid's" dolls can enjoy all of the creature comforts of a real American home with this miniature flat screen television that actually plays videos.
Spanish designer Amatheria is the genius behind this miniature flat screen. The miniature working TV doesn't work as a television per se, but it does have enough room for 2GB of memory and a mini-USB port. The sound comes out the front of the TV and Amatheria has even gone so far as to engrave buttons and design a miniature remote. According to the designer this mini TV is meant as a collector's item only, but I think that a seven-year-old girl would appreciate this much more than some miniature collector. Barbie's Dream House is nothing without a working television.
