Tonner's 2012 Fall/Holiday Line Release

This afternoon the pictures of Tonner's new dolls were revealed. It is a large release. Collectors who loved the 16" Marilyn Monroe will be happy to know that there is one new basic Marilyn as Pola Debevoise (?) and four era appropriate fashions. A fully dressed 16" Marilyn in the hot pink "Diamonds" gown is also going to be available for $189.99.

Marilyn Monroe as Pola Debevoise

$124.99

There are five dressed Precarious dolls and one basic. It bothers me that new Precarious dolls have been introduced and the ones I currently have on pre-order haven't even shipped.
This one looks a lot like Raven and I thought the redhead was Antoinette until I enlarged the image enough to see her face clearly.

Wild Bird

$189.99

Romantic Gold

$224.99

My favorite fashion is on a dressed Cami. She is lovely but I have enough Camis right now. I would like the outfit.

Definitely Downtown

$179.99

Also making an appearance are Gone With the Wind dolls, Peggy Harcourt, Nu Mood, Memphis characters,  Ron Weasley, Vampire Diaries, Marvel Comics, Wizard of Oz (Steampunk Style), The Hunger Games, Twilight New Moon, American Models, Disney and 10" Patsy. I'm out of breath just typing that.
Where is Tiny Kitty and Simone Rouge?

The Nu Mood Tyler looks really odd. Is this a revamped sculpt or just a bad promo shot? Yikes. But the price is right! She comes wearing a white bodysuit and the wig.

Nu Mood™ Tyler Fashion - Lily

 $59.99

 There is also a Nu Mood Sydney that doesn't look like Sydney, one with the Breathless sculpt and one with the very popular Cinderella sculpt.

Nu Mood™ Jess Fashion - Lily

$59.99

There are way too many dolls for me to post all of the images here. Please click this link to go to the Tonner Doll website and see all the dolls.

2013 Fall Holiday Barbie Collection

Angelic Dreamz just posted pictures of several new Barbie dolls for 2013. Three are Dolls of the World and two  (first on left and the fourth) are "The Barbie Look."

There are several clothing/accessory packs as well for your dolls. Who doesn't love fashions that come along with accessories and props?

Apparently there will be another Bella doll and an Emmet is on the way, too. Oh goodie.

Need Another Place to Spend Money?

One of my favorite eBay sellers knits & crochets the finest tiny clothing. I've purchased five outfits from her for my Puki Puki dolls. Her seller ID is Maisiedoats. 

She creates clothes for several different sized dolls including Amelia Thimble, Tiny Betsey, Tiny Kitty, Puki Puki, 10" Anne Estelle and Real Puki. This month there's even something for Cissy! She lists items about twice a month. The quality is excellent. Her starting prices are very fair. Shipping is only $3. from Australia. It takes a few weeks to get to the US but it's so worth it.

A sample of Maisiedoats' current offerings:

Look at those tiny stitches and details.

Happy Shopping!
