That would have been SO WRONG. Tyler has a skinny butt and Marilyn didn't. I really want to see 'live' pics of the 16" Marilyn, now. I have no interest in the 22" one.

I think ...Someone beat me- Mera had an open mouth.<br /><br />I think I like the facial sculpt on the 22" doll (although it does seem a tad long) than on the 16". The mouth on the 16" is sort of a frown, too. MM at least had a demi-smile in pictures. Sort of looks like a large Mini-Gene. Will need to see more pics before I decide to buy, I'm afraid.<br /><br />The good thing about Tonner- He listens to the critics, and adjusts accordingly. Remember the prototype Scarlett O'Hara was MUCH different than the final production versions. And the second Rhett Butler was a complete resculpt from the first.<br /><br />I love his idea of the Tyler top and the curvy bottom. That's how she was built!!! Although, I do hope in the future for a "cup size" between Tyler's and the Curvy body's!!! ;)Steve C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12014938894700350737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-32532844462134457742012-05-19T03:58:43.584-04:002012-05-19T03:58:43.584-04:00I guess they pretty much had to do an open mouth s...I guess they pretty much had to do an open mouth since so many of her pictures show her with the famous smile.<br />Does the doll look more like her in person? The photo may not do the doll justice.<br />The Franklin Mint ones had a pretty good head even if the finished paint job often left a lot to be desired.<br />The outfit on this one looks great!<br />As always love the blog.<br />Will C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-52116884984013464152012-05-19T00:36:18.722-04:002012-05-19T00:36:18.722-04:00I seem to recall the Elvira, Mistress of the Dark ...I seem to recall the Elvira, Mistress of the Dark Halloween convention souvenir doll also had an open mouth. <br /><br />However, that is something that should probably be cross checked on Dreamcastle's excellent Tonner reference page.miladybluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01063936507480569735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-50096483802870982972012-05-18T23:55:28.600-04:002012-05-18T23:55:28.600-04:00Yes, I remember Mera.
