  1. Those are so cool! I have one little set that my mom sent one time Babuska looking gals..wooden and painted shiny, and my 4th son has a set that is like soldiers sort of (russian looking soldiers anyhow..more like nutcracker looking now that I think about it) that has 4.
    They are a neat thing to collect. Someday maybe I will get more. I have seen some cute ones out there.
