Ah, we finally have an image for the Comic-Con exclusive Tonner Edward, courtesy of the Tonner email newsletter that I subscribe to religiously:

The hair is rather meek, and for a full $129 I wish it had more accessories than "a shirt,"* but it does seem to have the black eyes to indicate "hunger" (~*EXCITING VARIATION!*~), and I have to say? This is the least horrifying/most accurate product image of the character that they've put up yet. I mean, compared to my doll's prototype pictures.

* YOU'RE KILLING ME HERE, PEOPLE. IT'S THE SAME DOLL, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT'S DEPRESSED. IT HAS LESS STUFF THAN THE FIRST ONE; IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A JACKET. YOU CAN'T THROW IN SOME EXTRA CLOTHES? A SPARKLE VENEER? A TINY MOUNTAIN LION? COME ON.

I mention this specifically just to let y'all know not to worry about trying to get one for me (as I'd previously asked--for someone to snag one at the convention, and I would have paid them back). I'd like to get one, but I think I'm going to get my bargain hunter on and go to eBay after the convention. Besides, like I said last time, no one would have any way of knowing who else might or might not have snagged one, and I'd end up with seven Edward v2s WHO HAVE NO ACCESSORIES and no way to pay everyone back.


Also: WHOA BLACK CANARY. They really need to lay off using the Lara Croft body (literally, that is the Lara Croft body sculpt) on every single flippin' DC doll.

Geez Louise! I thought it would have more stuff! Oh no. :/

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, I knew it wouldn't. That's the same description they originally put out, and, I mean... that's what the outfit looks like in the movie. That's why I wanted to see a picture, in case it was just somehow unspeakably awesome in ways I could not foresee. But it pretty much looks exactly like what I thought it would. Except that its hair is extra sad. : (

[greedyskunk.livejournal.com]

Black Canary looks like Tori Spelling in that pic...at least the face does.

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

OHNOES I CAN'T UNSEE IT NOW.

[misachan.livejournal.com]

Oh Dinah. I feel compelled to make a "huge tracts of land" comment.

(Seriously, she looks like she shouldn't be able to stand. Especially not in the heels Canary wears!)

[labonnefille.livejournal.com]

FOR SERIOUS!!!! The first thing I thought when I saw that doll was "holy boobs!"

minimalist-ward

[smands.livejournal.com]

Does he at least sparkle? I could forgive some vampy add-ons for a little sparkle motion.

Black canary? I thought that was Rosalie.

Re: minimalist-ward

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Nope, no sparkle. I have heard there might be a sparkle holiday exclusive, though.

[kitsune17.livejournal.com]

I have no interest in ever owning a Twilight doll, but I would buy an Edward in a second if it came with a tiny mountain lion. Perhaps with a bit of removable neck...like those Jurassic Park toys from a while ago that had "battle damage"?

And Black Canary. Wow. She's got huge...boots.

[batwrangler.livejournal.com]

A doll-sized mountain lion would be cool -- especially if it had a Pez-style flip-top head to make it easy for sparklepires to tear out its throat. :)

[bienegold.livejournal.com]

That Black Canary doll is horrifying.

[shadwing.livejournal.com]

MOST of Tonner's DC Ladies are horrifying! Did you see that Catwoman? UGH!

[life-on-queen.livejournal.com]

Oh, COME ON, PPL! Black Canary is supposed to be a master martial artist - how can you do a spin kick in a push-up bra?! One turn and you'd pop out and beat yourself unconscious with your own boob! Think, ppl, think!

[shadwing.livejournal.com]

Especially since, in the comics at least, Canary abandoned the strapless bodysuit ages ago and wears a much more senceable (yet still stylishly sexy) high necked and sleeveless version.

Sigh...that get up looks like something she'd wear in the bedroom for playtime with Ollie...

[dragovianknight.livejournal.com]

Okay, if you hadn't SAID that was Black Canary, even the fishnets wouldn't have clued me in.

[door.livejournal.com]

He's so plain! Just get another Regularward and paint his eyes black.

[calatha.livejournal.com]

I'm not seeing much of a resemblance to RPattz there.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

You get it more in profile, or at least on mine you do. Like, to the point where I was slightly weirded out.

[ccr1138.livejournal.com]

You know, the least they could do is give him a nice, big ... ahem ... *cough* ... well, SOMETHING to indicate the "hunger" aspect. [g]

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, all jokes aside, that's what the black eyes are supposed to indicate.

[adelledae.livejournal.com]

so, would you be adding him in as a secret doll cast member eventually or just for your personal collection?

also: http://tv.popcrunch.com/new-lost-kubrick-toys-get-your-hands-on-sawyer/

Please get a tiny Locke doll running around your shelf! hahaha, I can only imagine/hope...

[megalosaurus.livejournal.com]

eek! tiny locke! does hurley have a...scale?

[megalosaurus.livejournal.com]

the description is TERRIFYING. "EDWARD must fight his insatiable thirst for BELLA, no matter how Hungry he gets." capital H on hungry, even!

at least he has a...giant leather wrist...thing?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Tonner Edward v1 already has a wristband. : (

*i haz a sad*

The sight of the actual Black Canary doll has killed my desire to have the Black Canary doll.

Now, see, *this* is the doll all the people who were upset over the Barbie version should be shown to prove that they really had no idea what trashy looked like. Everything laces up? Thigh-high boots? LARA CROFT BOOBS?

*sigh*

[anonymeet.livejournal.com]

Oh my god, this cracks me up for some reason. Has the era of the strongly-worded letter given way to the well-filmed Youtube video? o_O

[demonqueen666.livejournal.com]

IT'S THE SAME DOLL, EXCEPT THIS TIME IT'S DEPRESSED.

...I don't care if no one would get it, I want that on an icon. It made me LOL.

[megalosaurus.livejournal.com]

um. so I had to:

[dramaturgca.livejournal.com]

Hungry, Edward?

What IS IT with the language butchery this week?

[sgt-majorette.livejournal.com]

That's what's different, the gratuitous comma.

Blonde Guy from Golden Compass came with a big ol' leopard. He's menacing the tactical dollhouse, but the barbies have a couple of rifles and a bazooka trained on him. Great dollie drags from that movie...

[eofs.livejournal.com]

Your gallery with the Tonner Edward has "wah" in its url. This is oddly appropriate.

RE: Black Canary

[emerybored.livejournal.com]

Is it sad when your first thought looking at a doll is "Oh those boobs are SO FAKE" before you realize the entire thing is fake? Any more endowed and she'd fall over. At least Barbie has hips to match.

Re: Black Canary

[sgt-majorette.livejournal.com]

She's the very model of a female action figure. Ugly dollies, I call 'em. Some of them come with an alternate (normal-sized) breastplate for female buyers. My grandniece would ask me, "Do you have another chest for this one, Auntie?" If not, headfirst in the mop bucket.

[roseredhoofbeat.livejournal.com]

Oh my freaking God, that doll looks exactly like my stepson. I am not even kidding. And he's a HUGE Twilight fan (look, don't ask me).

I'm sending this to his mom. LOL.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

I don't know which part of all that was the funniest, really. Heh.

[ahirutwin.livejournal.com]

You know what's bad? I actually like the Barbie version of Black Canary better than the Tonner. D: WHY DOES SHE LOOKS LIKE BARB WIRE? *headdesk*

[nicolars.livejournal.com]

Does Edward even wear all black like that in the movie? I don't recall it, that outfit seems a little too goth for Mr. Khaki.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

He does indeed.

[dianesoprano.livejournal.com]

*looks at pictures* Dammit, now I'm going to start shipping Tonner Edward and Serafina. You know she could totally handle him too.

[soleta-nf.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yes!

[anonymeet.livejournal.com]

I saw "Hungry, Edward" and thought Hungry Eyes - which I guess kind of makes sense - and now the song is in my head and as it turns out, the lyrics kinda work too . .

Also, is it me or does Hungry Eyes Edward have unnaturally long legs? He looks a little - out of proportion to me.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Original Flavor Edward does too. Honestly, I think all the Tonners' legs are a bit too long and/or thin, proportionally. Which is okay on a girl, because we're so used to exaggerated body shapes on female dolls, but on a male doll? Looks kind of strange.

[karenhealey.livejournal.com]

Black Canary does not wear thigh high boots!

THAT DOLL IS OUT OF CONTINUITY!!!

[mari-redstar.livejournal.com]

Er. At least they've decided to really go all out with the "insane previously-unattested-Elseworlds" look for the boots this time? I mean, if it's down to "Black Canary from the Elseworlds where she is a pirate who also runs a burlesque show for some reason" or, like the Barbie version did, "Black Canary in those yellow-buckled shitkicker boots that Oracle got her. Except with stiletto heels added! So they're no longer shitkickers. In fact they look kind of pathetic now", well, at least the DC Pirate Stripper AU is interesting.
