Tonner's 2014 SDCC Exclusive Dolls

The super popular San Diego Comic-Con takes place this year from July 24 through the 27th. Those hardy and lucky enough to attend can see these Tonner dolls exclusively at the Tonner booth.  But of course, if they don't sell out there, they'll probably be up on their store the following day or miraculously discovered in the warehouse.

From the Big Bang Theory comes "Sheldon Cooper Special Edition."

 

Yawn.


From DC Stars a "Vintage Wonder Woman" in resin:


Their description says she's a new Tyler resin head sculpt on a resin Tyler body. She is a very pretty doll but where's the rest of her wondrous body?

She's too thin.

Both dolls are 16". Both are LE 100. Prices were not listed.

That's better.

Enclosure Royale on Sybarite Etiquette

I wasn't going to buy it at first but then I started seeing pictures and hearing reviews of the Superdoll fashion, "Enclosure Royale." The beautiful and easily stand-alone item which is under her skirt is a yellow multi-layered petticoat. I've seen it used as a skirt on it's own. The top, which looks like a blouse is actually a finished jacket - also a stand-alone piece. I love the shoes with their blocky, acrylic heels. Ordinary earrings came with the ensemble. I have her wearing earrings made by an Etsy artist who, sadly, is not putting anything up for sale any longer. Another piece I don't show is a black square with a skull print. She  has a walking stick with a silver skull on the top. Lots of mix and match possibilities make for a great purchase!
The full description of "Enclosure Royale" is a few posts back at http://terrigoldphoto.blogspot.com/2014/06/enclosure-royale-fashion-from-superdoll.html.






My model is Etiquette, one of the 2014 PFDF exclusive Sybarites. I'm not sure I'll keep her but if I do, I will remove her wig as I'm not extremely fond of it.

Dolls Do Ralph Lauren

Collector Marty Jones posted the results of a project she did in which several of her dolls are fashioned after Ralph Lauren's runway models. Marty made two skirts, did some trimming and commissioned most of the rest of the fashions and accessories.



Isn't it wonderful to see how this avid and creative collector "plays" with her dolls?
