Tonner's newest Wonder Woman has been released. This is a gorgeous doll on the 16" heroic body.

When I searched for pictures of Tonner's Wonder Woman dolls, I was surprised that there were so many.

There are more: Amazon Princess, Amazonian Warrior, Justice Protector, Diana of Themyscira.  I don't know if they are all the same character. I need to study up on my Wonder Women.  The new one is my favorite but the Steampunk one is really adorable.

Project Typhoon Haiyan Goods Received

Two of the four items I bid on in the Project Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda Fundraising Auction arrived today. They are both Ashton Drake Gene Marshall dolls.
First is the "Love Paris" Gene doll dressed in the lovely wedding ensemble from the 1995 Gene in Monaco.

Next is the 1998 Creme De Cassis Gene Doll.
Both of these dolls, among other items, were contributed to the auction by the very generous Franklin Lim Liao.
