TONNER 2010 SUMMER LINE

I DO NOT LIKE THE ALICE

I DO NOT LIKE THE OUTFIT

ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THE WORST ONE IN NEW MOON

THE ONE THAT LOOKED LIKE THE PAINTER'S SMOCK

IN VOLTERRA

MAYBE THE NEXT PROTOTYPE PICTURE WILL BE BETTER

MAYBE I CAN MESS THE HAIR UP


(ETA: Okay, look, people. "I can mess the hair up" means I will be buying it anyway, because I love Alice. If I am really sincerely angry about something, I will not express that in capslock. Capslock is for exaggerating and playing things up. It's not one of the outfits I did like, but I can live with it. I suspect they will fix the hair to be more flipped out and quietly change the picture on the site. It's a cute doll as it is, but it's frustrating, in a not-that-it-really-matters way, to see them get the Galadriel so right and then mess up something as key as the hair--a major Alice feature--on this one and give it one of the less-interesting outfits. People asked me to report my initial gut reaction when I saw it. So I did. But it's okay.)


A quick rundown:

Twilight: Oh God, the new Bella likeness is... no. (I will totally buy the outfit if someone sells it separately.) We're holding steady with the Edward likeness, although the gaze is SUPER INTENSE. Nice suit, though.

Lord of the Rings: Besides the Galadriel, there's a Legolas, but no pictures yet. I still crave the Arwen, even though the dress isn't entirely movie-accurate, because it is pretty.

Firefly: You can see the Inara, but it is sold out. I think they said they'd be doing a different one later.

Prince of Persia: As previously revealed. I would totally go for the Tamina if it was the full princess/priestess outfit with all the veils.

Jonah Hex: Really? Really?



omg my moneys

Well shoot, I'm sorry that Alice looks like that. :(

New Moon Edward's hair is trying to escape from his head. That is the only way I can explain that.

The fact that Gemma Arterton is now a doll makes me laugh whenever someone brings it up.

I DEMAND A TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES LINE COMPLETE WITH EDDIE REDMAYNE. ALSO, ALEC, SO I CAN SET HIM ON FIRE.

That Galadriel doll is gorgeous. I don't even really collect dolls (although I do have a LOT of LOTR action figures and the Toy Biz Galadriel still in her box on top of my bookshelf), but I want that doll. The sculpt looks so much like Cate Blanchett it is SCARY.

Alice's hair looks silly but I didn't think the outfit was terrible... she does look better in dresses, though. It's too bad they didn't do the dress from the first film, that one was super cute.

I'm going to be saving my pennies to buy Galadriel as a birthday present to myself. I have five months. DO NOT SELL OUT! AUGH!

I have no interest in Jonah Hex whatsoever, but I find myself strangely drawn to the Megan Fox dolls. It must be the outfits. Me likey.

Alice is, well, maybe it will get better.
The Mal doll from Firefly is strange, but Galadriel is beautiful.

The Alice is a disappointment. I really wish they didn't do her hair like that. BUT OMG! GALADRIEL IS EVERYTHING I HOPED SHE WOULD BE.

[mamaburlesque.livejournal.com]

Oh.My. That Galadriel is epic perfection!!

I cannot WAIT to see Legolas!!

So sad about Alice =\

[bad-idea-bear.livejournal.com]

That Galadriel is possibly the most beautiful doll ever.

I NEED HER. And the Arwen. And the inevitable Eowyn.

The upcoming Barbie Alice is much cuter. God it hurt to type that.

This is how the world ends.

Starting in Birmingham.

OH MY GOD.

Eddie's hair needs it's own zip code. WTH IS UP WITH THAT?? (or to the side with that hair)?

Galadriel is SOOOO PRETTY.

The real life dolls usually look much better than the prototype pictures, so the Alice could end up looking much better than that. I would restyle the hair, though.

[clodia-risa.livejournal.com]

I think its the blush on the Galadriel that really makes her look like the original. It highlights her cheekbones perfectly.

I have to admit to not being an Alice-expert, but I thought the doll was pretty. Not the most similar to the actress, but pretty! I defer to your superior knowledge, however.

I've never really been tempted to buy a doll before, even the lovely Old Hollywood dolls that Tonner started doing (they have awesome costumes), but that Galadriel is the most beautiful doll I have ever seen. It's amazing. I'm very tempted.


Alice looks silly, though. It doesn't look anything like her actress.

[aka-paloma.livejournal.com]

Tell me if I'm wrong here but I think the Alice Cullen doll looks more like actress Lana Parilla than it does Ashley Greene. Seriously. Slap a 70s dress (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1112512256/tt0928173) on her and she'd be perfect as Trina Decker from Swingtown.

Alice... Oh honey, no.

[jabberwockpie.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, Bella's outfit might not fit your Bella because they put her on a different body with smaller boobs.

Why can't we have nice things Alices?

[teaa.livejournal.com]

Is it just me, or does this (http://www.tonnerdoll.com/2010TonnerSite/2010Images/SummerBlockbuster/NewMoon/bblood2.jpg) look much more like Liv Tyler than Kristen Stewart?

[the-jackalope.livejournal.com]

I think I want that Galadriel. She's so pretty. And that dress. OMG that dress.

[dhaunea.livejournal.com]

I saw that, but am able to resist, as I'm going to A Day of Ennui with Ellowyne Wilde in August.

... I'm so excited that it isn't even funny. I'm also attempting to put together a dress for one of the competitions.

I wish I knew someone else who was going, but still. Robert Tonner will be available for signing afterward. I'm way, way too excited about this!

I've been saving my pennies for the Doctor doll, but.... dude. I WANT THAT GALADRIEL.
