Tonner Doll News...Quick Updates

Okay, here's what I can remember in my sleep deprived exhausted stupor...

New Twilight Tonner Character Figures: Laurent, James, Victoria (wearing the black tank top, fur cape, jeans, and bare flat feet), Jacob, and Alice. We saw sculpt for everyone but Alice and a finished prototype for Victoria. Lemme just say that I can't freaking wait for these...they all looked fabulous. I am definitely planning to get Laurent as he will just look plain cool.

Doctor Who/Torchwood: We saw the prototypes finished. I loved them. I think David Tennant's hair should be longer like Twilight Edward's though. Capt. Jack and Gwen looked great. I like Jack on the Superman body...meow. Martha was very cute too. Sounds like there will never be a Billie Piper. Sadness.

LORD OF THE RINGS...need I say more. I warned my poor boyfriend to clear off a shelf.

Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhaal...and I think he said two female characters. I am guessing Tamina played by Gemma Arterton..not sure on the other one. The jake head sculpt looked pretty darn snazzy.

Wizard of Oz dolls with likeness of the original actresses and the coroner...

Disney's Princess and the Frog on the teen body with a more cartoony face...

Evil Queen from Snow White...she looked awesome.

Brother for the dreary gang...

Hawkman is coming but they have to wait a spell so as not to compete with the 13" figures from DC Direct.

Kermit is coming...Miss Piggy in Space is coming and looked adorable.

Continuing with the Legends Series with Ava Gardner up next.

Planning to do more Betsy McCall DC Stars...adorable-ness ensues. I love my new tiny wonder woman!

Was there any word on when they expect to release the Doctor Who/Torchwood dolls? How accurate were the costumes?

W Club Exclusive Doll "Mademoiselle Eden" from Nu Face...

Image
Well, surprise it's another twin. People on W Club seemed mostly jazzed.  I was like....hmmm. Not sure. It feels like a whole lot of lazy rehash.  That dress seems like a variation on a dress from Luxe Life Eugenia and the jacket is the same one we got on Karolin at Live from Fashion Week (which (I sold off) The hair color is almost identical to the recent Violaine doll (whom I ADORE).  But I do love the mint dress (it has pocketssss!) and shoes quite a bit.  I am not loving the hairstyle at all and would definitely be removing the Snooki pouf hair . I love fantasy hair...but wish it weren't so similar to Violaine.  I've been wanting a minty haired doll...and maybe this one would be a perfect re-root candidate.  So I am still a little undecided.  Someone also pointed out that her stock number (82120A) could possibly indicate a corresponding Lilith version (82120B?) is coming our way (possibly for Dolly days?). Which sort of panic scares me into ordering her...hmmm.

Paris Doll Convention News

The Paris Doll Convention was this past weekend. Pictures can be seen here courtesy of the fantabulous Gerda! There was a gorgeous Raven hair Ellowyne with cute bangs and a ponytail and smokey eye makeup called Paris Blue limited to 250. The Sybarite event doll for the Saturday evening banquet was a bright red wigged doll with hot pink eye makeup and a gold and pink evening gown called Epocholypse. There was also a Raven version in a black and silver gown limited to 20 available via a special drawing. Both have lovely face paint and the wigs are in a cute haute heidi braid look. The dresses are nice..but i am not a big fan of Superdoll's gowns. I love their unique sportswear looks more. I am the same with Tonner gowns as well. Some lucky ducks walked away with the new Sybarite Fashion Victim dolls. I am very jealous as these look FABULOUS. I so want that mohawk pink wig one.... They also had hand sets with different posed hands and I really hope they sell these in the f

IT Dolly Days East 59th La Femme Godiva Collection with New Characters!

Image
  Well another gorgeous set of dolls from designer Christ Stoeckel. He and Mark Tinkey are definitely favs at the moment. The clothing here is lovely and highly detailed. We are getting two new characters which seem to be using some older sculpts.  I like them and I don't mind some stylization...but they do seem a touch out of step with the screening on Evelyn which seems more realistic.  I tried for Cora in the lottery and lost out.  I am hoping to jump on the wait list and maybe get lucky though. I am a big Mugler fan and this fashion on Cora is definitely a reference to a Mugler look as well as to Jerry Hall's locks (also a Mugler model). I missed out on preordering the rest of the ladies from the dealers.  I would really like to get Evelyn's outfit at some point.  I will be patient.
