Russian matryoshka dolls, or nesting dolls, are an art form that seem perfectly suited to the Star Wars cast of characters. Housing figures within figures, it's almost poetic that a youthful, innocent Anakin Skywalker should be hidden deep within the dark and menacing shell of Darth Vader.

Japan's Hot Toys recently released a series of six new Star Wars matryoshkas, which are now available exclusively in the U.S. at StarWarsShop. Included in the series are:

• Darth Vader (Anakin Skywalker)
• Obi-Wan Kenobi
• C-3PO
• Sith
• General Grievous
• Wookiees

Each figure houses two more figures within, measuring 6.8 to 8.2 cm for the largest, 5.8 cm for the medium, and 4.8 cm for the smallest. Each set of figures also comes in a 30th anniversary window box showcasing all three figures.
