Tonner's ComicCon Exclusive

Tonner Doll Company reveals that they will be offering DARK PHOENIX as their San Diego Comic-Con 2011 exclusive. The fiery superheroine marks the third release in Tonner's all-new Marvel Tonner Character Figure assortment, their first two figures being Captain America and Scarlet Witch, which both quickly sold out upon their debut at the Tonner Convention in May.

"I found the inner conflict inside of Jean Grey captivating, and so naturally, her evil counterpart Dark Phoenix was high on my list of Marvel characters to make," commented Robert Tonner, CEO and doll artist.

In keeping with the fine detail and quality of Tonner's other product lines, Dark Phoenix will boast hand-painted facial details, including mirrored eyes and fine rooted saran hair. She features a recently enhanced 16" vinyl and hard plastic body with 13-points-of-articulation for dynamic poses. Dark Phoenix's alluring costume consists of a red bodysuit with metallic "Phoenix" emblem and attached gloves, thigh-high faux leather boots, and matching gold sash with a "Phoenix" charm. A display stand is also included.

Dark Phoenix will be offered to Comic-Con attendees July 21-24 at Tonner's booth #4149. The figure will have a very limited edition size of only 150 pieces.

Plastic Inevitable

The newest line of Dynamite Girls from Integrity has been shipping out to customers.  The line includese 3 girls (Rufus Blue, Aria & Jett) and 2 new boys (Auden & Remi).  I personally have the 3 girls, so I'll just be posting pics of them here today, but you can see the boys on flickr from plenty of members if you're interested.

So the Dynamite Girls were upgraded last year with new legs, so they no longer have the knobby knees and in this collection they got new hands (they are they same as Misaki dolls).  The changes to this line over the past year have been very impressive and this line is becoming a force in the doll community.  The fashions are of very high quality, fabulously designed and now come with metal accessories.  The upgrade in this area along with the doll itself has brought in new collectors.

The fashions on these particular girls are just fabulous! The jackets are done beautifully, have great detail and are fully lined.  Aria's jeans are really cool with the gold flaking in the fabric, Rufus' printed top is such fun and Jett's little bustier with decorative stitching is really beautiful.

Steffie of the day: 1990 Fashion Play Hispanic

Fashion Play, a photo by alington on Flickr.

From 1990, this Hispanic version of Fashion Play Barbie is surprisingly hard-to-find at a reasonable price. Well, let's just say when I say, "reasonable price," I mean, "price I want to pay."

I was obviously able to find her. She is so 1990s and so very lovely: tan skin tone, lavender and gray eyes, lilac make-up, bubble gum pink lips, gigantic brown hair. She comes dressed in a white and lavender teddy.
