Tonner Convention Part 2

Dreamcastle Dolls posted excellent pictures of the first set of dolls. I'll be watching her site for updates to keep you informed.

Shelly
Shelly looks and reminds me of Gene Marshall with the period hairstyle and the coloring. This is a very pretty doll. I have read that she is the Supergirl sculpt. That just happens to be my favorite Tonner sculpt of all time.
Kay
Paul
Judy (this is not the volunteer doll)
Some great staff photos:

Captain, Oh Captain...
I'll go anywhere!
Why does Michelle look amazing in everything she wears, including costumes?
We need to put Jack on a calendar. Whew!
