Tonner Mainline - DC Stars, Big Bang Theory, Twilight, and lots of child dolls

Photos are still to be added, but several of new additions are still coming for DC Stars, The Big Bang Theory and Twilight.

Bazinga! It's Sheldon Cooper, for just $149.99 (they must have gotten a great deal on licensing--wow--I've never seen a character figure go for this price), LE500, shipping date to be announced, as shown above. He has wigged hair, cameo skin tone, and his Jim Parsons Portrait head sculpt. No photo is yet available for Amy Farrah Fowler, who is also $149.99, LE500.

From the DC Stars collection, we can expect to see Batman and Catwoman 1966 for $199.99 each. LE500, delivery to be announced. Julie Newmar Portrait sculpt and Adam West will be new to the line.

Renesme has been added to the Twilight collection. She is $159.99, LE500, and has shipping to be announced. She is on the 12" Patience body, with the Mackenzie Foy Portrait sculpt with brown eyes and copper hair.

Lots of dolls have been added to the Patsyette, Patsy, and Half Pint line, as well, if child dolls are your thing. They must be a good seller, since the edition sizes look pretty big and the prices are pretty low--LE250-500 and $70-150 per doll.

I have to say--I am just a little disappointed, but I can't always love every release, I suppose. I'm interested in seeing the new portrait sculpts, for sure. It's always fun to see new sculpts!

Promotional photos have been released of Tonner Doll's latest Twilight character Bella Cullen, who retails for $189.99, LE500. Her shipping date is to be announced. She has golden eyes and chestnut highlighted hair, a black faux leather jacket, black tee, and stretch denim pants.

She's available to preorder from your favorite Tonner dealer today.

New Barbies from 2012

Walking Suit Barbie BRFC

Angelic Dreamz has posted new 2012 Barbies that are now available for pre-order at their website.

There are two new additions to the Twilight collection: Breaking Dawn Part I Edward and Bella, who retail for $34.99 per doll, both finely dressed in wedding attire. Bella has a particularly lovely facial screening, I think. These dolls are due in the spring of this year.

Ken has a new eco-conscious car, a MINI Cooper, which is available and in stock now for a price of $39.99. While no dolls are included with this set, it's high time Ken quits mooching off his girlfriend and gets his own wheels. There's lots of great detailing on this vehicle, including side mirrors that move, MINI logos on the hood and hubcaps, and a Ken vanity plate.

Two have particularly caught my eye, even though I don't collect Silkstones anymore (I don't, I don't, I don't--and telling myself this isn't working, LOL!).

Walking Suit Barbie, shoe above, is a fun tribute to the 1950s, dressed in a slightly oversized printed black and whit houndstooth suit. The tiny upturned collar and oversized chiffon white bow add interested and class to this blond side-glancing girl. She includes a handbag, umbrella, black hat with netting (I'm sure that's what gets me), and hatbox. She's due to ship in March, and retails for $75.

Party Dress Barbie BFCM

Party Dress Barbie also caught my eye. Her brown hair is styled in a gorgeous updo, trimmed with a Tiffany-style tiara. She's dressed in a cream-colored cocktail dress with gold and lace overlay and turquoise satin bow trim, along with a matching bolero, gloves, and shoes. Her rhinestone and pearl earrings give her just a touch of elegance, without being overdone. She is also due to ship in March, with a retail price of $100.
