Something Old and Something Even Older

I first saw Tonner's version of Marvel's Black Cat character figure at the store in Kingston. She was masked and I didn't look further. A few months later I saw her without the mask and I knew I had to have her. This doll is just gorgeous and I adore the Breathless head sculpt. She arrived last week. I plan to restyle her hair and redress her in something elegant.



A doll that I have wanted for years has finally joined the tribe. She is "Ghost of Christmas Future," the most popular of the three re-imagined Christmas Carol character figures from Tonner. I am so happy to finally have her. I was fortunate to get one whose owner never removed the protective body plastic so she is just like a new doll in spite of the fact that she was released in 2003! Here is the link to Tonner's archived page describing the three doll set:
Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol Collection



Each of the three ghosts used a different sculpt. Future's is the Emilie head sculpt.

Unpacking the Masses

I've finally begun to unpack my dolls in earnest. Although I'm still waiting for more Ikea showcases, I can begin to fill up the ones I already have.







Mainly I started with my Fashion Royalty Vanessas. I have a very long road ahead of me as I did not pack all of them with their outfits on. They will need to be redressed and for that to happen I have to have all their clothes, jewelry and shoes organized so I can find it. Not easy.

What is it with us doll collectors? Is there never enough? I keep looking at this Tonner doll, Marvel's Black Cat, and I want her. I think she is just beautiful.

I wonder if her outfit stains - especially the mask. If you have one, please let me know.
