My brother and sister-in-law just got back from a trip to Russia - among the souvenirs they brought back were some Russian matryoshka, or stack, dolls, representing several LSU players from the 2007 team:

Those are awesome. Did they have them made, or were they pre-made and available?

They were already made and on display - they had some for most of the nfl teams and for a number of college teams.

They've already left and took their dolls with them. Can't get another pic.

You should have gotten their card and ordered a hundred.
You could sell those easy here and make a little cash. Very unique and cool.

Just Google "nesting dolls" and LSU. This site sells them for $33 includes shipping. This particular [link=(site)]https://souvenirsfromrussia.com/index.php?id=sport[/link] said they were out of stock but more sites came up in the Google results.
Here's a pic of the Tiger. Toonces looks better. I think Trindon is the baby doll in this one and this one shows "National Champions" instead of "SEC Champions".

I've got a set from 2003. A friend that lives in Sweden found them while in Russia as well. Mine look identical but list "Mauck, Clayton, Webster, Hunt and Gay". We keep them displayed in a cabinet in our living room. Makes an awesome conversation piece.
Swedish friend has good taste.

My sister went to Russia in 2004 and brought me back the same dolls w/ Mauk (#18), Randall (#12), Carey (#2), Clayton (#14), and Henderson (#9). I'll sell them to th higherst bidder.

Never in my life did I think I'd find guys talking bout buying/having dolls on a football forum.

Good point...I feel ashamed now!

I have these dating back to 2003 team. I go to Russia on business 3-4 times a year. Hand painted, sturdy wood. They have pretty much all pro and college teams. These are sold at the souvenir areas in St Pete and Moscow. 30-40 bucks each ( used to be cheaper before the US dollar became the US peso). You can special order them if you want to get a bunch as gifts
