Tonner Doll Company Cancels Production

Production of the following dolls from the Sinister Circus collection has been canceled.
The Painted Lady, The Bearded Lady, Keiko, Marina and Quimby.
Why am I not surprised? Collectors are apparently not as daring as the TDC.
Their images have been removed from Tonner's website but I do have these:

The right fashion & wig make a brilliant difference.

Putting it right out there, Monogram Brilliance's outfit is dowdy and her wig doesn't do anything at all for her.
No one knows how to put the hat on. The doll was a total disappointment...until I found the right wig and outfit for her.

The suit belongs to the Black Party Monogram doll. The jewelry came from the Je Ne Sais Quoi Silkstone doll and the wig, believe it or not, belongs to one of my tiny Puki dolls. It works. I love her now.

The Mad Hatter

As if the world has rediscovered the classic childrens' fairy tale of Alice in Wonderland, Alice mania has hit the doll world with force. At IDEX many manufacturers showed new Alice in Wonderland dolls for 2010.
You may or may not know that the movie by the same name will be opening tomorrow, March 6, with the fabulously talented, slightly crazy Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.
This post will show you some of the Mad Hatter dolls that are currently on the market, will be soon or have sold out already. They come in all sizes and prices.

"Images pending licensor and actor approval." I saw the pre-production doll and it's amazing. It's too bad it couldn't be ready for the movie opening. Those in doubt would do well to wait before buying another Hatter. Tonner's is amazing.

Tarrant - The Mad Hatter - Dressed Tonner Character Figure $224.99

Will the REAL Mad Hatter please stand up?

Walt Disney did not create the story of Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll wrote two Alice novels, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. (1872) Click here for more information on the two pieces of literature.
