Betel Nut Girl figurines

I have been looking for Betel Nut Girl Figurines in Tainan but no luck yet. The Betel Nut Girls are unique to Taiwan so I wanted to pick up a few of these as souvenirs. Has anyone seen these or know where to buy them? Any Ideas?

I saw these pics a few years

I saw these pics a few years back. I think they were a custom job cause I've also never been able to find them.

I have a few... got them in

I have a few... got them in a vending machine in DanShui. I'm sure i've seen them a few times since, but i can't think of where. There are a few shops behind the train station, and a couple down minzu, close to the department stores that might carry them

.....but seems like Dan Shui is the only place to get these. I checked out a some stores around the train station and found nothing. Although I did not know they were sold out of vending machines, I'll check those next time. Thanks.

OK.  If you are having trouble embedding videos or what not, please read this:

there should be an icon of a magnifying glass at the top of the comment box. If you hover over it with the pointer, it should say HTML source.  You will need to click onto that mode to embed any HTML code into the comment.  If you don't do that, the code will come out looking like code and never go into effect.  I hope that helps.  Sorry about the trouble.

I just heard back form my friend.  Apparently I got the old discontinued set (making it a collectors item) but there is a new set available through this website:

This is a collection

This is a collection definitely worth considering! Very very interesting! Guys, let me know where to get them...it's time to start a collection. Hey, we are in Taiwan...right? This is part of the culture! :)

Timmy, how could it be

Timmy, how could it be different.
I just met Timmy again in Taipei, just before a "gruveballs" show in January.
He is a real nice dude and off with a real nice girl but no betelnut girl though.
May be we get him to perform here in Tainan and invite all the betelnut girls in town :)
I think Darin knows Timmy too.

You mean Walltigers Timmy...

You mean Walltigers Timmy... I know him. That's a classic Taiwan song. To all those girls who sit in boxes... selling drugs... thank you. Bing lang shi shr.

yes, Walltigers Timmy :)

yes, Walltigers Timmy :)
