Tonner Convention: Let it Sew!

The breakfast this morning featured Amelia Thimble. Guests were asked to wear their most hilarious holiday fashions. Wish I could have been there to see them.

Tonner and Staff and Santa

The table favor was:

 

Centerpiece doll. Christmas Morning Patsy.

I added this after the post above was made. I'm guessing this was a companion doll available for purchase to all convention attendees.

Tonner Convention: Animal Magnetism

 Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - Friday Night at Tonner

Here is the new 16" Marilyn doll called "Animal Magnetism." She was the break-out event souvenir.  I read on Prego that she uses a combination of the Tyler bust and the curvy hip bodies. (Starting to sound like Integrity Toys with the mix and match bodies.)
I'm not sure but isn't it unusual for Tonner to do an open lip doll? I remember that Pin Up had sort of open lips. Who else?

Tonner Convention: The Marilyn Centerpiece

Here is the highly anticipated Marilyn doll that's been hinted at for months. The biggest surprise is that she is 22" tall.  That's a lot of doll! I think she may be unique, not for her fashion but for her size.  I don't have any dolls that size except for Cissy.
I'm guessing there will be gorgeous fashions replicating her famous costumes. I wonder if there are enough collectors willing to go this large. There is already the 22" American Model market collectors so this may not be so far out.
What do you all think?

The Madame Alexander Marilyn is 16"

The Matttel MM is 11"

Below: three others I found. The first two are from the Franklin Mint and the third is from the Estate of MM and Twentieth Century Fox.  I do not know the measurements of the last one.

Vinyl Portrait Dress-up Doll; 15 1/8" tall; Original Price $110

Porcelain, 19" tall; released 1991, original price $200.

The real doll!
