I like the 16" doll very much. I must find out what sculpt is being used for her.

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.
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"
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.

You know what they say: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, so come on down and shake your tail feather, where we will have a glorious night of dinner and dancing! Get a bird’s eye view of the delicate but sophisticated souvenir and the intricate centerpiece, and your heart will be as free as a bird! If you miss this fabulous occasion, we can assure you, your goose will be cooked, and you’ll be as mad as a wet hen!

Worry not, dear Collect-Os, you won’t be leaving empty-handed, there will be one more parting gift from Tonner! And then we’ll say our farewells….so long, and Bon Voyage!

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 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.
Some great staff photos:
