Since people are already emailing me

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.

He would be a double for Tonner Edward, since his eyes are different, but otherwise they're pretty interchangeable.

I think it's a CD player actually. You know, the one he was listening to before it crapped out on him

*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*

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.

Hungry, Edward?

What IS IT with the language butchery this week?

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

Exactly...did you see her wedding gown?

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

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.

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...

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. :)

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.

Please tell me there are pictures of this on-line.

To be fair, the doll looks nicer in the other picture I saw of it in Toyfare. But she does look Donna Martin dressed up as a hooker for Halloween in that picture.

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*

The snow leopard Tonner made for Lord Asriel was awesome, so I know they should be able to manage it.

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.

Sort of. The sergeantmajorette has a flickr account. It's not a very good picture, but check out the normal sized dollie in the winter drag from Golden Compass. She very rightly decided that none of the giantmutant dollies had the panache to pull it off...

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.

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

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