Apr 7 2009Star Wars And Mario Russian Nesting Dolls
Some artsy folks went and custom painted traditional Matryoshka dolls to look like characters from Star Wars and Super Mario, respectively. Not bad. I think these would make a great arts-and-crafts project to do with your kids, provided they don't eat the paint or glue their heads to the kitchen table. Which, be honest, they totally will. Haha, do I know your kids or what? On my way to work today I saw your youngest standing in the front yard hitting himself in the head with a Whiffleball bat. *sniff* Made me wish I had one of my own. The bat, not the kid.
Hit the jump for some closeups of the two sets.

Luigi was always taller then Mario, and Bowser was the biggest character-
AND Gombas are smaller then the little guys with horror movie masks
and Yoda looks like a koala!

Did anyone else get the obama nesting doll advertisement. Hilarious....
Urban outfitters sells blank ones for the painting. I bought the old lady some for xmas, they are still blank.

Turrible. Just because you attempt to do something and it comes out decent doesn't mean you succeeded. and it sure as hell doesn't mean it belongs on the underwebs. i want to put these in my butt, one by one.

@1, Either GW changed it because of your comment, or you're a...catheter tip.
Haha, thanks #5.

@11 lol
Yeah, the Mario ones aren't very good at all.

You're right, the artwork isn't very good, but you can at least see they tried. It's at least worth a few gold coins.
On the other hand, this artwork is very good and something that I was considering suggesting to Geekologie.
