A Present from Prague

[Chris25]

Imagine you're walking down the streets of Prague, you're thinking you should really buy some sort of keepsake to remember the trip - what do you buy? A Fremantle Dockers babushka/matryoshka doll of course.

Yes, that is Adam McPhee - bigger than both McPharlin and Mundy. And who might the smallest figure be? Ballantyne, maybe Hill? No, it's a bearded Antoni Grover of course.

It's still the offseason for a few more days, so this thread has a home for now.

Haha, just the other other month a work colleague of mine probably went by that same shop and was so close to buy me those Freo Dolls. would have made a nice addition to my Freo stash.

I must have missed Mundy having his race change

 

[Nickos66]

I never knew Freo were so big in Prague??

 

[JunglistPosse]

Havent you heard of the Prague Dockers?

 

[Big Animal]

Yeah, they used the same surgeons that were used by Team America

 

[Nothing]

I'm impressed that they have the new jumpers, including Woodside logo, on them. Just don't let the AFL see them, or they will sue them for use of the AFL logo.

Demetriewww will be in contact with u sometime this week, wanting to know more about this store so ha can get his share.

I guessed 1 out of 5

I was thinking Pavlich, CLIVE, no idea, Farmer, Ballas

I've been in that store as well...it's amazing. Dolls for AFL, NRL to pretty much anything all with up to date team jerseys (was there April 2011 and they already had the new kit). Almost as good as Prague beer!

Just come back from Prague. Beautiful city.

It is a famous store amongst followers of MLB and NFL teams. Remarkable how quick they pick up on the new designs for a whole range of different international sports, they had a Gold Coast set done two days after launch, and I'm told the GWS set was available before Sheedy did his Skoda tour of Europe. The store even had a set with uniforms from lacrosse teams from my home state in the USA - I mean seriously, who is so keen on lacrosse that they want a set of freshly painted Babushka dolls in team colours? Someone involved with that store obviously monitors a whole bunch of different websites really closely - and they have an eye for detail too, as evidenced by the facial treatments of the different dolls (the Green Bay Packers set I saw had similar treatments for the star Packers players depicted on the dolls). Maybe they go off photos posted on the different news sites r whatever - but they do a great job and it is something quite different for "the pool room"...

I'm hearing INXS's Never Tear Us Apart play as you walk to the shop.

I fondly remember going to a Prague nightclub in 1996 wearing a tanktop, bathers, thongs & my little daypack (backpack), & having a blast of a night. Awesome women wouhh.

 

[Stronzo]

Random thing to find in a Northern Hemisphere city, or really any city outside Australia.

Were there other team Babushka dolls in the shop?

 

[mightymouse75]

My favourite is dolls on dolls.

Surprisingly this isn't the first time I've seen men being inside of each other.

 

[greatgatsby]
