A Perfect Piece of Nostalgia for the Brady Fan
This is one of the very few collectibles available anywhere celebrating the home that many of us grew up in vicariously through the eyes of the Brady Brunch. It is simply wonderful. But before you purchase it, I believe you have to know what you are getting, as, at this price, you may be expecting something more. The diorama is as detailed as you can expect from something constructed with paper, and you should know that this limits how realistic it may look on display. But, in my opinion, you should not buy this for accuracy per se, but for the nostalgia it can bring to your home. That being said, I found the construction to be remarkably representative of a television set that I have watched for hundreds of hours over the course of my life. I was tempted to purchase a few of Eslick's other dioramas to display as a set (mainly because this alone is not very big and seems a bit out of place if hung alone), but because of the price, I decided to stick with this one. As you can see in the picture, I have displayed it above my record player in my living room in a place small enough for it to fit in nicely. Finally, I would like to add that the diorama was packaged with extreme care, and even came with a short written thank-you from Eslick himself. In the end, despite the price, I believe that this is a very cherished item for a Brady Bunch collector.
