Update on Not Having a Doll Room...Yet

Out of desperation,  I went to the storage unit this afternoon and decided to take two huge boxes home. The spousal unit accompanied but without the desperation attached. I was looking for the box with my Sybarites and just gave up because the boxes say either dolls or doll props and pretty much no other content identifying marks. So we put one big carton in the car and then I opened another and lo and behold, inside were the boxes in which my precious Sybarites, Ficon and Jamieshow were packed. YAY! They are now safely home.


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.

$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.

$189.99
$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.
$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.
 $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.


Numina ALERT!

Dollcis/Paul Pham sent out a newsletter informing collectors that Ajuma will go up for pre-order this Friday, August 31 at Noon Eastern time.
Here is a partial text of that letter:

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