Figurine Gallery

The Figurine Shop appears in The Minish Cap and is run by Carlov the sculptor. It's entrance is a clump of bushes found in the south-west corner of Hyrule Town. The figurine shop actually functions as a kind of lottery or raffle, where Link can trade Mysterious Shells for a chance to win a figurine of the various people, creatures, and enemies you meet throughout the game. The starting price for a try to win a figurine is 1 shell, which will give Link a fixed percentage chance to win a new figurine. As more figurines are won, the chance of winning one which you don't already have decreases, but can be raised by betting additional shells. The figurines won are kept by Carlov in a display case in the Figurine Shop for Link to view.

There are a total of 130 figurines to be won, with six more added to collect upon completing the game, making the total 136. The reward for collecting all of the figurines is given by the man sitting outside the cafe, who will let you inside his house, which contains a piece of heart and three chests with 200 rupees each. It also contains a phonograph which gives access to the Sound Test. The Figurine Shop bears several similarities to the Nintendo Gallery from The Wind Waker, both providing the same function and both being run by Carlov.
