New release from Tonner Doll Company

Tonner Doll Company has released the remaining pieces of its Fall/Holiday collection for 2013. Here's the first portion--several photos aren't yet available.

From the American Models collection, there is a new Fairytale Basic doll for $299.99, LE300. Arrival date is to be announced. Her photo is shown above. She's wigged (including the blonde wig shown and an additional short brown wig as well) with inset hazel/green eyes. Additionally, there will be another doll, Constance, in a blue and silver brocade princess style gown with chestnut hair, inset blue eyes and the lily skin tone, LE200, for $449.99, with a shipping date to be determined.

Four new basic dolls have been added to the Cami & Jon collection. Resort Stripe Basic Cami is available as blonde or mink, plus Jon and Liu Liu are also available. Each is $119.99 and include removable wigs, acrylic strappy sandals, and painted eyes. The stands are sold separately.

One dressed doll, Spring Frost Cami, is absolutely gorgeous. She's wigged with brown eyes, and includes a gorgeous brocade dress with fringe trime, a twill lurex coat, nude hose, and beaded jewelry. Her shoes are really cool, too. She's limited to 300 and retails for $209.99. Shipping is TBA.

Two outfits are also available. Above, Summer Lace is limited to 300 and retails for $99.99. It will ship on October 25. It includes a feathered taffeta hat, and chiffon and open lace dress, beaded earrings and faux leather shoes.

Below, Chelsea Chill is a nautical inspired outfit for $99.99. Shipping is TBA on this LE300 set. It includes a black bodysuit, black and white skirt, fuchsia coat and black faux leather shoes. It also retails for $99.99.

A new basic has also been added to the Precarious collection. Precarious White Basic wears a black removable wig and has blue painted eyes with applied lashes. She has a white knit dress, white strappy sandals, panties, sunglasses, and is limited to 500. Her ship date is TBA. Her stand is sold separately.

Two new items have also been added to the Tyler Wentworth collection. Chase#5 makes a new appearance--I believe she is a resculpted version of Shauna, as that is what the model below, Warm-up Basic Shauna, is called. She's limited to 500 and retails for $119.99. She looks a lot like her, too, including gorgeous flame and chestnut blended hair in a traditional wrapped ponytail. Shipping date is to be announced.

Above, City Tweed also uses this new sculpt. She has blue eyes and a non-removable mink wig. She wears a tweed coat dress, black petticoat, gloves, tights, beaded necklace, and faux leather shoes. She includes a stand, is LE300, and retails for $219.99, with her shipping TBA.

These items are available for preorder now. I suggest you check out Dreamcastle Dolls.

Ashleigh in Swingtime

I snapped a few photos of another one of my favorite fashion resin dolls, Ultimate Glamour Ashleigh by Tonner Doll Company. She's dressed in the Precarious fashion Swingtime, and wearing a soft Tibetan lamb wig, which I probably should have styled before taking the photo.

Romantic Gold

Wowie! It's Romantic Gold Precarious by Tonner Doll Company. She's my last preorder from the 2012 collection, and I'm really thrilled with her softer look and outfit.

She has gorgeous flame red hair, styled in a braided undo--nice and tight right from the factory. She has painted green eyes with applied lashes. Her salmon-color lips highlight the rest of her soft gold and brown eyeshadow.

Her dress is just amazing. Pardon the blurry photo below--you can see other shots on my Flickr photostream. It's one piece, with a layered tulle skirt than hangs perfectly. The bodice is created with a studded gold fabric, with an attached belt, and appliqués of the gold studs hanging at the waistline.

I'm even impressed with her accessories. While no jewelry is included, Romantic Gold has a 1920s era inspired feathered hair clip, and her gold foil pumps are anything but traditional--they are peep-toe with a tiny gold buckle on the side. I love that detail.

Compared to the other Precarious girls in my collection--Scandal, Intriguing, and Fierce--Romantic Gold is much softer in coloring and style. I think she's just lovely.

Above, it's The Toucan (Daphne) in the wonderful Precarious outfit Wild Bird, both by Tonner Doll. Getting that body suit on was not exactly my idea of a good time, but it sure is a great outfit!

Farewell, oh green wall.

On Monday, we will be renewing the paint in much of our house, and as much as I adore the green in our living and dining area, we will be changing to a new color. That famous green background will now be something new and different--and something that will go with the furniture switch we have planned. (We'll be swapping out living room and family room spaces, and also the computer area and dining room as well.)

We will also be planning new paint for the kids' bedrooms and carpet as well over the next several weeks. I'll be sure to keep you posted on the progress--but I hope my doll photos don't suffer too much from the no-green background I've relied on so much for the past few years.

One more quick shot of Wild Bird's shoes. They are really nice and heavy.

Intriguing

There is nothing I don't adore about this doll. She is amazing. I'm thrilled to see a blue-haired girl from Tonner. Just wonderful!

New items for Tonner's Precarious line

I'll start with Tonner's Precarious line. I'm probably most excited about this collection. A new sculpt--which looks reminiscent of the gorgeous Suzette--on the Antoinette body, this line features modern, runway-style clothing for the fashion forward collector. I'm thrilled!

Limited to 300, she is a dressed doll, retail $189.99, rooted black hair in a twisted style ponytail with a black feathered hair decoration, she has blue eyes with eye lashes, and the cameo skin tone.

Tonner updates from Dreamcastle Dolls

I just received a notice that Antoinette Flourish has shipped--I'm so excited!

Dreamcastle Dolls still has her in stock--and she is also available as a split (just the nude doll).

I'd also thought I'd let you know a few of the Precarious dolls are still available to preorder, including Simply Precarious, Scandal, Party Girl, and Intriguing, and a few of these are also available as splits as well. The outfit Anything Goes is still available to preorder as well, which is due to ship in the middle of next month.

Save the date for August 29--which is Tonner's Fall/Holiday release. They have promised "something for everyone"!

The Raven

Another bird centerpiece the Raven - also on the Antoinette body, using the Precarious head sculpt. She has a fascinating partial updo with crimped raven hair, and painted brown eyes. She was also deigned for the Flights of Fancy Tonner Convention banquet.

Her outfit includes black lamé tights, faux suede pumps with feather trim, crinkled luminescent chiffon and tulle, styled in a short high-necked gown with puffed sleeves and trimmed with marabou.

Her tail even includes wire for easier posing. She is fabulous! She was one of only 100 dolls created for this event.

Wow--new line from Tonner Doll: Precarious!

Nice and edgy, couture and fabulous, this doll shares the Antoinette/Cami body and has a brand new fashion sense. She was just released (today) as part of the new Tonner mainline release. One new basic doll is available, plus three dressed dolls and three outfits are available from pre-order from your favorite Tonner dealer. Shipping dates for the dolls and outfits are to be announced.

Precarious, the basic doll, is anything but basic. Her retail price is $124.99, and she is limited to 500. She has applied eyelashes, painted blue eyes, and two wigs: a black and white long wig with a partial updo, and a red wig with bangs.

My favorite of the three dressed dolls is Intriguing. She has rooted blue hair, styled in a bejeweled updo, painted blue eyes with applied lashes, and she is limited to 300. She retails for $199.99. She comes dressed in a sleeveless lace catsuit, tied with a satin belt. She's draped in a blue rose embroidered cape, reminiscent of Idyllic Antoinette. Notice her jewelry--earrings, necklace, bracelet and a ring! I adore her blue suede heel-less pumps, too. Wow!

Next up, Scandal - limited to 300, also $199.99. Reminiscent of Alexander McQueen, this sharply tailored winged jacket sparkles in black and is trimmed with beaded cuffs and collar. The raven-haired doll sports a sheer embroidered skirt with sequins, black hose, and sparkling black heel-less shoes. Her clustered earrings and silver brooches finish her look.

Party Girl is the final dressed doll of the Precarious collection. She is also limited to 300 dolls and retails for $199.99. She has painted blue eyes, and a rooted platinum and black ponytail. Her silhouette also reminds me of an Alexander McQueen design. She is wearing a brocade gown with a chiffon and eyelash skirt, with beading at the neck. Her accessories include silver tights and shoes and a crystal bracelet. I think this look could have used some earrings.

Swing Time is the first of three outfits, and I adore it. It will fit Antoinette, as well as Precarious, Cami and Jon. It's limited to 300 and retails for $79.99. It includes a red jersey dressed trimmed with sea stars, black tights, platform sandals, and a tiny red sculpted hat.

Decadence is limited to 300 and retails for $89.99. This painted cotton canvas dress also includes a belt with rhinestone buckle, scarf, sparkling tights, strappy shoes, gauntlets and earrings.

Last but not least, Anything Goes. This outfit is limited to 300 and retails for $99.99. It includes a black jersey tank bodysuit, faux leather jeans, cape with detachable yarn hood, tie-on rhinestone necklace, beaded belt and black brocade zip boots.
