The dolls were designed by the Australian artist Yiying Lu, the author of Twitter's celebrated Fail Whale error message. The souvenirs will be hand-crafted in Russia by the company Golden Cockerel.

The first clients are expected to get their Twitter doll souvenirs this March. The seven-doll set's starting price will be $60.
