An image I did recently for FDQ of Kingdom Doll, Eira. She's dressed in a Tonner gown
I love her in white.

Tonner Doll 2015 Holiday Collection
Tonner released their Holiday 2015 Collection with De De Denton and several other dolls. De De is a new character whose back story is that she is an heiress to the Denton chewing gum fortune with her own reality show. She's related to Deeanna Denton and big-boned women run in the family. They need to switch to sugarless gum.
She's been given the 17" Athletic body and from here, she's got a lot of eye makeup, too.
Above from left to right, the first two are outfits only and are priced at $89.99 each. The rest are dressed dolls priced at $174.99-$179.99 except for the last one that is $184.99.
Made in the shade is a dressed doll retailing at $159.99. What is the CW-1 head sculpt?
Two new "Basic Dixies" in the Rockabilly collection sport bangs that are a big fail. Wigs work better for hairdos with bangs. $99.99 each
Bombshell Batwoman makes an appearance in the DC Stars line. She has a beautiful sculpt and her hair color is stunning but the costume is odd. $179.99
Collectors flipped out over the Wilde Imagination chaise from a recent convention and now we are offered the same chaise in three different fabrics and "wood" finishes. $124.99. The Ellowyne chaise is a very good size for all 16" dolls.
See the full release here: http://www.tonnerdoll.com/tonner/2015-holiday-release?p=1
Op Ed:
I must say that I am not a fan of Tonner's new website at all. There is too much automation (zooming, fading and highlighting) for my taste. The archive is disorganized. One used to be able to search by year and category. The pictures are too large initially and one has to keep going to the next page and the next page and on and on.
It's a sophisticated website but it's not very collector friendly.

Superdoll Collectables' Black Friday Event
I don't know what time they put up their sales items but I know we were on the New Jersey Turnpike when I ordered what I wanted. No, I was not the driver.
Nothing can stop a doll collector - neither a moving car nor sun in her eyes!
Back to reality, in addition to giving 50% off on all items which have languished on their site for a year or more, three new adorable 50's style dress sets debuted at reasonable prices.
A new style of shoe is offered with each of the above:
As of right now, they are all still there.
What's a Glitter Tit?

I wanted all three so I decided to get none of them. How's that for a reasonable decision?

A Special Opportunity to (possibly, if you're lucky,) Spend Money
This is an opportunity for members of the W Club to enter a lottery to buy a (really adorable) gift set featuring Poppy Parker in airline attire. Airline stewardesses have been a very popular theme for dolls for a long time and Buttry has created a super collectible duo of fashions for his Poppy.
IT Airways
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll Gift Set
The contents of the set are one doll, two outfits, boots, shoes, earrings, wings pin, hat box.
Who remembers the Monsieur Z dolls of 2005? I thought about them the minute I saw the gift set. I still have Fly Girl's serving tray with the carafe and cups.
Wanna see lots of airline clad dolls and humans? Here's a link to loads of Pinterest posts all in one place. Try it; you'll like it.

This link will take you to stewardesses from Braniff Airlines. See if you can find the inspiration for Buttry's designs.

Perry Marino Sculpt Rises from the Dead - Again
Yes vampire loving doll collectors, Perry Marino, whose sculpt began life (or death) in 2011 as The Count Dracula is back again in the Jem line - sans fangs.
Here he is in his second incarnation, well-dressed and pained looking. Perhaps he's hungry.
Eric Raymond™
Jem and The Holograms Collection
LE500 (They must think he'll sell out.) ETA: Approximately the First Week of December 2015
I love the background in the photo on the left! However, no matter how good a photo is, no matter how many times you change the name and the clothes, you can't take the ugly out of the sculpt. Time to bury him for good.
Having misssed posting this guy, one of my alert readers sent me this photo of "Backstage Ambition," another seriously unpleasant example of Perry Marino.
Good Grief.
