More news from TDC:
They are going to return to the older way of introducing their fashion doll lines (winter and summer) as a result of collector feedback. In addition Tonner Direct and Tonner Doll websites are being combined and redesigned. In November, we will be seeing the site which is now being beta tested.

Noir #99 ~ Theatre de la Mode

I finally took a few pictures of this new Theatre de la Mode doll. I had to have her replaced because her hair top thing looked like a spaceship that had only partially landed. This is much better.

I need to rethink the background as there's not enough of a separation of tone. Sometimes I have to show the less successful images or you're liable to think I'm perfect.

Random Musings and Talc

Still waiting for the official pictures of the 2011 convention collection and the Saturday night dolls. I would love to share those with my readers as my dolls won't be here for a while. I should have Vanessa, Tatyana and the table gifts in about 3 days.

Integrity Toys announced an Avantguard revamp. Not only will they have a 16 inch version of the FR2 body, their name will now be FR16. Is that Fashion Royalty to the sixteenth power or F R Sixteen? This will be a welcome change to those who have clamored for a more stable body for these dolls. Going forward, they will be rooted dolls. Three prototypes were shown. Unfortunately I don't have images of those either. They look pretty good and their sculpts also look changed but I'm not sure about that. I have not seen pricing information.

There will be three new Monogram dolls released in December. They're calling it a Holiday collection. I get the red/green holiday reference connection.

Talc had a little photoshoot in one of Tonner's older fashions last week. I'm not ready to cover up her entire body in fashion yet. I'm enjoying seeing it posing.
