Mini Sale Alert - Mattel

Mattel is offering up to 25% off all orders when you purchase something from the Mattel Shop.
Of particular interest are the Monster High items.
I don't keep very up-to-date on that line of dolls but I know that some people were complaining that the build a monster kits only had one torso. Now there is a pack of 5 torsos you can purchase for $7.99 before any discounts are applied.

A lot of their dolls are out of stock but you can pick up this Operetta for $17.99.

I'm guessing that whatever good stuff is currently available won't last long so go now and look.

Broadway Meets Tonner Doll

An announcement from Tonner Doll today:

Dear Collectors,

We've got some very exciting news to share: We are releasing our very first venture with a Broadway license: The Memphis Collection! Here's a little background about Memphis:

Memphis features a brand new, Tony winning score with music by Bon Jovi's founding member and keyboardist David Bryan and lyrics by Bryan and Tony-winner Joe DiPietro, who also pens the musical's book. Directed by Tony nominee Christopher Ashley and choreographed by Sergio Trujillo, Memphis takes place in the smoky halls and underground clubs of the segregated 50's, where a young white DJ named Huey Calhoun fell in love with everything he shouldn't: rock and roll and an electrifying black singer. Memphis is an original story about the cultural revolution that erupted when his vision met her voice, and the music changed forever.

This is a very special release because it kicks off the Memphis U.S. tour. To find out where Memphis is playing in a city near you, visit www.memphisthemusical.com!
