But there have certainly been moments. I think this is certainly been dictated by why consumers want to buy also. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-85289829090036972202016-03-27T10:37:12.188-04:002016-03-27T10:37:12.188-04:00Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

At the time she was really innovative and so much more relatable to then others. I still enjoy her immensely.

Being a full figure myself it seemed quite evident for me to have one. I should ad that I am not a collector but a player, and I playe/dress/photograph and I have a lot of fun creating stories and adventures for my Gang (16") and I am quite amaze still today buy the strength and quality of the Tonner dolls. My only regret for Emme is the lack of articulation.Dominiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506175225547502945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-46076224544650880992016-03-25T17:53:14.585-04:002016-03-25T17:53:14.585-04:00Thanks for the great comments, Troy.

The nice thing about Tonner is that not only do they make nice dolls, they almost always have several separate fashions. That makes it easier to try dolls with "different" sizes who may not be able to share clothing with your current ones. In this case, Screen Tested and White Hot so far. Between them and the outfits for the other two dolls available at the time -- Executive Sweet and Drinks Before Dinner -- that gives a nice chance to rotate outfits between the two dolls. I consider that a good starter set. I'm planning to add the outfits from the two new dolls if I can find them at a good price. The old 17" DeeAnna clothing also fits, though I'm finding that hard to find at a reasonable price point.<br /><br />The dolls are really nice, and picking them up at a great price was a bonus. However, I agree about the eyeliner being a bit heavy. Sometimes I get a bit of a Kardashian vibe, especially with White Hot, and that is not a good thing.<br /><br />I like the fact that companies try different sizes for dolls, though sometimes there doesn't feel like a big commitment to them. Supporting that is important to me, which is why I'm also buying the playline Barbies with the new bodies, and the Lammily dolls. As long as they have good wardrobes, they are just as much fun to dress and photograph. Play fun comes in all sizes!Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086194748915239386noreply@blogger.com
