Superhero Nesting Dolls

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Avenger Characters are Depicted Here as Stackable Wooden Toys

— July 30, 2016 — Life-Stages
While superhero characters are often depicted as toys in the form of action figures, these Avengers characters are redesigned as antiquated nesting dolls. The toys are fashioned out of hollowed out wooden cases that fit snuggly inside one another. The dolls can be played with independently or used in a set.

The superhero nesting dolls bark back to traditional toys popularized in Europe that are made of wood and feature characters hand painted in different sizes along the various wooden figurines. The Avengers set includes the likes of the Hulk, Thor, Wonder Woman and several others that depicts the characters at various sizes and in rounded figures. The characters range in height from an inch and a half to five inches tall so that they fit comfortably inside one another when stacked.
