Russian Nesting Dolls – Super Collectibles With Popular Culture August 18, 2008
Posted by in : Kids Crafts , trackbackBy now, most people have studied Russian dolls and their beginnings and how they are all hand painted by very particular artists using very small brushes to make an entire set come to life. All that is great but I wanted to explore some rather odd ideas for a nesting doll set that I am not sure have been created (this could be a great idea for someone with an artistic flare who can bring a couple of these sets to life for us). I have been studying this concept for quite some time and am now ready to announce these ideas to the world – here we go.
My first idea is to develop a set of dolls around great TV families. Families who were part of our families while growing up, that are a little bit nostalgic but who would also be very recognizable are the types I am referring to. I would start with the Brady Bunch and include the Mom and Dad, Alice and the 6 kids in one set. I think that dolls nesting set would be a great seller and would serve to honor what is probably the number one family of that generation. The next family to be made into a doll set would be the Partridge family. I would include the band manager, Rueben Kincaid, to be sure that there were enough dolls to make a complete set. The Clampett family of Beverly Hillbillies would be next and I would include the banker and Miss Hathaway to round out the set.
I would then move to the greatest sports teams of all times. I would include a couple sets of Roger Maris and the Yankees, maybe another with the Boston Celtics when they were winning all those championships, and maybe another of Cincinnati’s best team ever the Big Red Machine, since many people in the Midwest would probably love a set and they are my favorite team of all-time.
I would also include a best players of all-time set where you might be able to take any sport and make up dolls of a couple of years of hall-of-fame inductees. I think these would also sell well because a doll set could be made for every season and sport, so there are lots of great groups to select from to start sets.
My next group to do would be custom to individual groups such as a team of corporate executives. This may sound a little corny but I think thatmost corporate leadership teams would buy a set made up of themselves, especially after they have had a good year. This one may be pushing it a little bit, but I think there are lots of items in popular culture that are not being done at the moment that could be good for tine nesting doll industry and be fun for the people who are in the sets.
