Talk:Yeti

Russian Toys?

I've been doing a bit of research to the Yeti's Japanse names, and I think they, and some of their appearance, may both be based on Russian toys. With Yeta, theis is probably no surprise. "Matōnya" looks a lot like "Matryona", after which the Matryoshka dolls are named. This would account for her face/head shape, overall form and lack of arms. In the same vein with Yeto, "Dosankov" could be based on "Dymkovo". The details of Yeto's fur and the huge tail would seem to be appropriate for the toys, but the lack of color has me doubting. So, I'd like to hear others' thoughts on the likeness the Yetis are designed around Russian toys. IfIHaveTo 03:36, 16 September 2010 (EDT)
