    Are they making small figurines of Badminton players?

    .
    Life size dolls are not suitable to be carried to Badminton venues. :D:D:D

    Perhaps, smaller figurines are better.

    It must be one with moveable parts so that one can enact the stroke making of the top professionals. The limb joints in particular must be moveable, so too at the wrist for that last-minute whipping action! The racket can also rotate in the hand, whether left or right.

    A life size Lin Dan with most of the important moveable parts will be a bonus to the coach for demonstration purposes.

    A doll with a changeable face of the top players, both male and female, will be priceless!:D

    And you can collect a wardrobe of a variety of badminton jerseys from different countries to suit your mood and taste! ;)

    You may even come up with your own version of "out-of-this-world" design to beat them all! :cool:

    Maybe a 'funny-face' Lee Chong Wei figure.
    But LCW will kick the chinese players' anus if China ever make such a thing O_O

    LOL, I meant that as a joke. You guys seriously want to get these stuff? <shake head>.
    And to say us gals play with dolls, the 'grown up' guys have 'dolls' too ( This isnt Star Wars or LOTR).

    But if someone over-inflates it by accident, Lee Chong Wei could look a bit like Zheng Bo.

    :D

    I'd think seeing life-size inflatables of yourself could be a pretty weird experience.

    China is to make toys only of their own Badminton Stars

    .
    But China is to market toys only of their own Badminton Stars (as per Thread Title).

    So, Lee Chong Wei has to be over-inflated... to look like Zheng Bo. :D:D:D

    I want a life sized XXF and LD for my birthday!

    ...

    Actually, I'll be rather afraid to have life sized dolls in my house. What more real human looking ones...

    Wonder if they'll sell it cheap so parents buy it for small kids(cheaper than Batman, Superman etc) or expensive so badminton freaks buy it as collectibles..

    I wouldn't be surprised if websites (store 1, store 2) begin selling badminton voodoo dolls online ;)
    Then, before the match, Lin Dan can poke Taufik's doll with 21 needles... and, of course, vice versa :rolleyes:

    Maybe the coaches can join in too :D
    Not to mention the hordes of clingy fans :cool:

    I am sure our friends in China must have heard of this. Some may even know LYB well enough to find out more details. If so, can they pls tell us what they know.

    Wow well then thats pretty unique that they want to do that, i guess its not really to big of a surprise. Now im wondering myself what they would be like when there made? plastic, plush ones, mixed of different kinds etc. Well if any pictures arise would be awsome to see them.
