Taiwanese version of Russian Dulls 山寨版的俄羅斯娃娃

I saw this on the news today, its just too funny. There's a scene spot in Taipei, Taiwan called Jiu-Fen (九份). There is this craft shop in the shopping street sells these "affordable" cute Taiwanese made Russian dulls. (NT180=6 dollars) Lets take a look at them.

First Doll:
Not Bad. It got its pretty eyes and glitter body. However this is where the scam starts. Why? Wait until you see the 2nd doll.

I think a 10 year old would be able to draw this out. Looks like its wearing a shower cap. You can still call it cute, but it should be free on the side of street instead of selling it for money. Lets see the third doll.

They don't bother spend any time on drawing the eyes no more. The shower cap is gone, it has white hair now. Apparently drawing two dots is good enough. This piece of shit looks like its being done by a 3 years old. But wait its not over...

This is just fucking ugly. It looks more like a ghost instead of a doll. And last but not least..

The last piece of shit...made my day. I could not stop laughing when I saw it on the news.

It's kind of embarrassing for Taiwanese craft shop to even produce these scam Taiwanese Russian dulls. Russian dulls are decoration. No matter how cheap they are, they need to be able to be displayed on a counter or shelf. Except for the 1st one (the one they really did spend good amount of times on so that the customer would think every dulls inside are also as nice), I don't think anyone would display the rest of the ugly dulls in their home. Maybe someone should teach them what "Russian dolls" mean. They are ALL suppose to be delicate, NOT JUST THE 1st ONE.

WAIT, The story is not over. So the news reporter actually went to the shop location and asked the owner about these inside ugly dulls.



"請問一下為什麼裡面的小俄羅斯娃娃們跟最大的外觀差距這麼多呢?"
(Can you please explain why the little Russian dulls craftsmanship is so different from the largest one?)



"恩其實我們賣的只是外面這個大的，裡面四個小的是贈送給客戶的。"
(Actually, the price that we are selling for is only for the largest dull. All the other dulls that are inside are consider as complimentary.)
