Two little surprises from Tonner Doll

Two delightful little surprises in Tonner's mainline release are two new additions to the 13" fashion doll collection, 13" Siomone Basic and 13" Suzette Basic.

These dolls are limited to 500 each and retail for $89.99. They share bodies with the 13" Revlon dolls, and can share their fashions--I'm so thrilled to say! Simone is one of my favorite head sculpts, and I'm delighted to see a mini version of Suzette.

Each doll includes lingerie, shoes and a stand (hooray!), plus adorable ruffled lingerie. Ship dates are to be determined, but the dolls are available for pre-order. Simone is wigged, while Suzette is rooted.

New Tonner items released!

Madame Bovary American Model, $399.99 LE100

Tonner Doll's last release of 2011 has been announced, and there are quite a few gorgeous new dolls. Visit your favorite Tonner dealer today to place your order.

I'll go through the list alphabetically.

Above, two new dressed dolls have been added to the American Model collection, Madame Bovary ($399.99) and Platinum Luxury ($349.99). Madame Bovary's shipping date has yet to be announced, but Platinum Luxury (who reminds me of Sydney Candescence) is shipping now. Both are limited to 100 pieces, and have inset acrylic eyes. Madame is rooted, Luxury is wigged. Wow!

The latest addition to Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland collection is Mallymkun the Doormouse, a dressed Tonner Character Figure, made from resin. He's limited to 250 pieces, and retails for $69.99. Ship date is to be announced.

Two wonderful new dressed Antoinette dolls have been released. First, dressed in yellow (she says hello) is Allure. She's limited to 300 and retails for $169.99. She has light brown rooted hair, Tyler's skin tone, green painted eyes, and a gorgeous gold dress, which appears to me to be inspired by the 1920s. She includes a black feathered hair piece, gold and black jewelry, black shoes, gloves, and black hose.

Second, is Simplicity. This gorgeous red-haired, grey-eyed Antoinette is dressed in a lovely navy outfit, including pants, jacket and halter top, and includes boots and a silver necklace. She's limited to 300 and retails for $179.99. Both dolls shipping dates are to be announced.

Several new exciting items have been added to the Cami & Jon collection. Two new wigged Basic dolls (Cami and Jon) will ship on December 21. They both have inset acrylic eyes (Cami's are green, and Jon's are brown), and both include two wigs (Cami: blonde and black, Jon: brown and red). Both dolls are limited to 500 and retail for $109.99.

Next, three new outfits for Andy Mills (and Matt and Russell) have been announced. Central Park, Washington Square, and Chelsea Look retail for $89.99 and are limited to 300 each. Chelsea look will ship December 21, and the others will be determined.

The most exciting additions to the line are two new Theatre de la Mode dressed dolls. Both dolls use the TDLM sculpt on the Antoinette body.

She is wearing a black velvet and chiffon dress with crystal buttons, black feathered headband, crystal earrings and black shoes. She retails for $199.99 and will ship December 21.

My favorite of the two is Royale #2, with grey eyes and fancy auburn updo of curls. She's dressed in a pleated purple gown with a petticoat, gold and rhinestone jewelry, black gloves, hose, and black shoes. Her shipping date is to be announced, and she retails for $224.99. Both dolls are limited to 100.

Available for shipping now, this lovely 16" Scarlett O'Hara doll, Christmas 1863, retails for $249.99 and is a limited edition of 300.

Tonner Dolls at the Halloween doll meet

Halloween Doll Meet, a photo by alington on Flickr.

So yes, I admit, it's a little late. And I haven't been taking as many photos as I have been. But after going through a few of these on my camera, I've been really enjoying these photos from the last doll meet.

Here's a recap of some really lovely Tonner girls from the meet-up.

The Lana sculpt, a Halloween convention doll from 2009, I think.

More photos follow:

Miss Revlon in Moxie Teen

Miss Revlon in Moxie Teen, originally uploaded by alington.

Miss Revlon tries on a Moxie Teen outfit. It's a bit snug in the bust, but it still fits (barely). The velcro (not my favorite closure method) does not close all the way in the back.

With the jacket over the top, you don't notice the poor fit in the back. Plus you have some extra jacket coverage in the front for any sudden wardrobe malfunctions.

The shoes are a not quite right--the arch is a bit different and a bit big, but they work in a pinch. The gold belt and jewelry is from Shimmering crush.

All in all, I think this Moxie Teen outfit isn't bad for her size. At $9.99 from Target, you really can't go wrong. It's pretty cute. And also, she looks great in fuchsia!

More photos on Flickr. She's really a fun size--a little taller than Barbie, proportioned like Antoinette. And she hunches like Antoinette, too. She's adorable.

Miss Revlon in Liv outfit

Next, we're trying Miss Revlon in a Liv doll outfit. It's a bit snug, to say the least. She's wearing what is meant to be a dress, and it barely covers as a tunic and won't velcro in the back.

But with the cute shrug over the top, you can't see the lack of closure in the back. She's also wearing ill-fitting 1980s superstar Barbie hose (which are still too big on her, as they were on Barbie), for some extra sparkle.

I have her in her original bracelet and necklace, but the bag is by Liv. Liv shoes are too small for her feet, so she's wearing her own.

I think she's cute, but she needs a bigger size. You can still see more photos of this outfit on Flickr.

Miss Revlon in Shimmering Crush

Miss Revlon in Shimmering Crush, originally uploaded by alington.

I couldn't buy just the doll without an outfit. I chose Shimmering Crush. It's quite well-made--snaps in the back with a perfect fit. It does have invisible straps, which I might remove.

The necklace and bracelet are pretty, but I was surprised it didn't include earrings. Also that the outfit cost even more than the doll. Though it is lined and well made.

The shoes are fabulous, though. You can see close-ups on Flickr.

The purse is actually a Silkstone purse--possibly from The Interview.

Miss Revlon, Ultra Basic

Miss Revlon, Ultra Basic, originally uploaded by alington.

My Ultra Basic Miss Revlon has arrived. I took her hair down. Despite her promo photo, her hair comes tied back with the tie sewn into the hair. I've also curled the ends under with a large warm curling iron.

Additionally, I've added Liquitex gloss to her eyes and lips, and given her a French manicure and pedicure, sealed with Liquitex gloss.

I think she's really fun, if maybe a tad jaw-heavy and just a teeny bit wall-eyed, if you get too close.

She reminds me of a miniature Sydney, with a hint of a smile.

She has the same body type as Antoinette--smaller bust but same posability. She's so cute! The Ultra Basic dolls by Tonner include a doll in lingerie, no shoes and no stand.

I have a few more photos on Flickr, if you'd like to see how she poses.
