In the boardwalk town of Seaside Heights there is an unusually large amount of fiberglass figures at its many arcade bars, restaurants, gift shops, and theme parks. Some of the ones I could find were a hobo, the Blues Brothers, a Happy Halfwit Muffler Man, a giraffe, many other zoo animals in a mini-golf course, Marilyn Monroe, Betty Boop, giant scoops of ice cream, Scandinavian swordsmen, Paul Bunyan, a chicken with a Coke, the Budweiser Man, Super Mouse, and a cool bear. I recommend walking around and trying to find as many as you can.
