These are Avatar-themed kokeshi dolls. They are ~2 inches tall and are made of wood and then hand-painted with care.
On sale at Anime North, May 23-25, 2008 in the Artist Alley. Look for these, cute fruit pins, tOFU comics and Zelda doujinshi. See you there!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Kokeshi (小芥子 ), are Japanese dolls, originally from northern Japan. They are handmade from wood, have a simple trunk and an enlarged head with a few thin, painted lines to define the face.
Traditional Kokeshi (Dento) dolls shapes and patterns became particular to a certain area.
Creative Kokeshi (Shingata) allow the artist complete freedom in terms of shape, design and color and were developed after World War II (1945). They are not particular to a specific region of Japan and generally creative Kokeshi artists are found in the cities.

This has to be the best thing I bought at the convention. My friends and I bought the whole set! [link] Unfortunately Aang is missing from this shot.
We were dressed as Avatar cosplays (Katara, Toph, Sokka and Zuko) and I believe you got a photo of us each holding our character (w/ our extra friend holding Aang). ^_^

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
