The Tonner company makes finely-crafted dolls, including an already-released $US125 Lara Croft doll. Next in their Lara line is a doll of Amanda Evert, the sometimes-nemesis in recent Tomb Raider games.
The Matryoshka doll is the cake/custom action figure of 2009. Not the most obvious of pioneering creative avenues to pursue, true, but we can’t direct these artistic waves, only react to their flow.
