What  do you do when someone merges two awesome things like Russian nesting doll, which we all loved as children, and pop culture? – You applaud them, that’s what.

The Big Lebowski Dolls

The die-hard Big Lebowski fans will love this. Instead of the cutesy Russian ladies, in descending orders the dolls represent the troublesome  Walter, his dudeness “The Dude,” the purple loving, latino bowler Jesus, Maude Lebowski,  The Big Lebowski, The Stranger (narrator), and the marmot that gets tossed into the Dude’s bathtub. We expected also a tiny doll of a rug or the pinky toe, but naah.

If  you are a respected member of “The Dudeism” or merely a fan of the movie, by now you surely have noticed that  Donni is missing, but don’t panic keep calm  and look closer to spot Donny’s ghost over Walter’s shoulder.Walter  is also carrying his ex-wife’s pomeranian.
