Tonner Doll Fall/Holiday 2013 release - part 2: Tyler Wentworth, Precarious and Théâtre de la Mode

The Tyler Wentworth collection gets two additions, both with the same sculpt: Chase model #5, here called Shauna. There is a basic doll and a dressed one.

Basic doll


The Chase Model#5 head sculpt is on a 16" Tyler bending wrist body with the cameo skin tone. She has brown painted eyes and flame and chestnut blended rooted saran hair. She comes in a pale pink Lycra bodysuit with a coordinating chiffon belt, nude pantyhose and matching faux leather shoes. Again a basic doll without a stand. Meh. She looks a lot like a Greek singer, Helena Paparizou (photo below).

Dressed doll


Look what a different face make up and wig can do! This is again the Chase Model#5 head sculpt on a 16" Tyler bending wrist body, with the Tyler skin tone. She has blue painted eyes and mink non-removable saran wigged hair. Her outfit consists of a grey/black and white tweed coat dress, with a black cotton net petticoat, black faux leather gloves, black faux leather tights, rhinestone and beads necklace and black faux leather shoes. She has a stand. This one looks like a tame Siouxsie Sioux (photo below).



Precarious Bright White Basic

Basic doll


This is the sole addition to the line. Another basic doll without a stand. The Precarious™ head sculpt is on a 16" Antoinette™ body with the cameo skin tone. She has blue painted eyes with applied eyelashes and a  black removable wig of saran hair. She is wearing a white cotton knit dress, white stretch knit panties, white sunglasses and white elastic platform shoes. She looks interesting but add $10 for a stand.

Dressed doll


Two dolls were added to the Théâtre de la Mode collection. The first one has the Gina head sculpt on a 16" Antoinette™ body with the Tyler skin tone. She has green painted eyes and chestnut rooted saran hair with faux flower decoration. She is wearing a dusty rose satin dress with faux flowers (which to me look huge for this scale, but have not seen any photos of the corresponding outfit in the original collection) which has a petticoat. She comes with white Lycra opera length gloves, a rhinestone necklace, rhinestone earrings, a rhinestone bracelet and matching satin shoes. She has nude pantyhose with attached panties and comes with a stand. Très jolie!

The second doll also uses the Gina head sculpt on a 16" Antoinette™ body with the Tyler skin tone. This one has also green painted eyes but sports darkest brown rooted saran hair. She is wearing a black chiffon dress with rhinestone decoration on the bodice, a black velvet hat with rhinestone decoration and veil, rhinestone earrings, nude pantyhose and black faux leather shoes. She comes with a stand.

Tonner Doll Fall/Holiday 2013 release - part 1: Cami & Jon

If the Fall preview collection from Tonner Doll Company was not very enticing regarding fashion dolls, the Fall/Holiday release is full of them. Not all the lines get new releases, and the ones that do get them have some unexpected additions. As some of the dolls were not ready even in prototype stage, the company shows a rough sketch in place of a photo - you have to be very trusting to pre-order a doll like that. In this first post of the Tonner presentation we will check out the Cami & Jon line.




Spring Frost
$209.99

T13CJDD03
Dressed doll LE 300


The only dressed doll is of course with the Cami head sculpt, on the 16" Antoinette™ body in the Tyler skin tone. She has painted brown eyes and a platinum blonde removable saran wig. She is wearing a green/silver brocade dress with fringe trim under a green lurex twill coat with fringe sleeve cuffs and a rhinestone decoration. Her outfit comes with nude pantyhose, a multi-colour intricate beaded, rhinestone and flower hand made necklace, rhinestone earrings and matching green faux leather shoes. She comes with a stand.


I love the outfit on this one, it has a definite late 60's vibe, the colour is great and the dress looks a lot like one my mother was wearing in the very early 70's (she had one in copper and one in blue brocade). If this had a bag (one of the major Tonner cons in their fashion doll releases) it would have been a perfect outfit.


Resort Stripe Basic Cami (Blonde or Mink) / Jon  / Liu Liu
$119.99
Availability: Reserve yours now!
T13CJBD06
Basic doll LE 500


Four basic dolls, two of them with Cami head sculpt, one with the Jon sculpt and one with a new Asian 1 (sic) sculpt. All have the 16" Antoinette™ body. The two Cami and the Liu Liu dolls have the bisque skin tone while Jon has the honey skin tone. The Cami dolls have painted blue eyes, Jon has light blue eyes while Liu Liu has brown eyes. As for hair colour, one Cami comes with a pale blonde removable saran wig while all the other three dolls sport mink (i.e darkest brown) wigs. They all wear versions of the same stripe stretch knit dress: the Camis in pink and white, Jon in blue and white and Liu Liu in green and white. All have white cotton knit panties, white sunglasses and white elastic platform shoes.


The dolls come without a stand, which one can buy separately from Tonner. Honestly, this sucks big time. How can a company sell dolls without their stand and at $120? And on top of that, everyone who has had some experience with the available Tonner stand, knows it sucks big time. I'd never buy it separately, it's not even worth the plastic it's made of. Let's hope they remedy this.


Of course you cannot see the mink haired Cami, she was not ready as a prototype and there's a rough sketch instead of a photo on the site. It is not even a good one. There was a dressed Cami doll included with the Fall preview so I will show here here, as I did not think it fit into my Tiny Kitty post about that release.

Soft Elegance Cami
$199.99

Dressed doll 
LE 300


She has the Cami head sculpt on a 16" Antoinette™ body with the bisque skin tone. She has painted green eyes and summer blonde rooted saran hair. Her outfit is a cream chiffon dress with lace bodice overlay and ribbon belt. It has a cotton net underskirt with lace trim and a white petticoat. She comes with gold tights with attached panties and gold faux leather shoes. She has a stand.


Chelsea Chill - Outfit
T13CJOF05

The first outfit for Cami & Jon on the Fall/Holiday release, it also fits Antoinette™ dolls. It consists of a black stretch knit bodysuit, under a black and white stretch knit skirt, a fuchsia coat with black buttons and black faux leather shoes. In the photo the doll is the Resort Stripe Basic Cami (does not come with the outfit).

Summer Lace - Outfit
T13CJOF07
LE 300
$99.99

This is an off-white embroidered chiffon lace dress with a matching off-white taffeta hat with sequinned trim and feathers. It comes with a pair of faux pearl beaded earrings and matching faux leather shoes. Easily the best of the bunch except for the hat, which is a mess. Again, a clutch would have made this so much better.

Integrity Toys 3rd reveal for 2013: The Stingers from Jem & The Holograms

Second line to be revealed by Integrity Toys (and a giddy Alain) was another instalment of the Jem franchise: The Stingers. This is a much anticipated release by Jem collectors and fans, as the Stingers dolls were never produced in the original Hasbro line up. Let's see the three dolls, which come with the usual attention to detail and accessories shown in previous dolls of this line.


Item #14036
Rory "RIOT" Llewelyn™ 
The JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS™ Collection 
Suggested Retail Price: $119.00
Estimated Ship Date: September 2013 
Shipper Dimensions (Including Shipper): 15.5" X 9.5" X 3"


Rory "RIOT" Llewelyn™ is a 12.5"-inch fully articulated male vinyl fashion figure with fully rooted hair. RIOT comes dressed with his signature 80's on-stage look which is composed of a long bright yellow frock coat with black and red embroidery, a neo-romantic ruffled shirt, skin tight black pants and his white boots. RIOT also comes complete with his signature guitar, guitar strap, amp cord, microphone, miniature Stingers album with sleeve, alternate set of hands, a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. For adult collectors 14 and up only.


The lapels have micro-sequins, as do the pants. He's sporting an earring too. He looks like the child of David Lee Roth and David Coverdale.


Item #14037
Ingrid "MINX" Kruger™
The JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS™ Collection
Suggested Retail Price: $119.00
Estimated Ship Date: September 2013
Shipper Dimensions (Including Shipper): 15.5" X 9.5" X 3"


Ingrid "MINX" Kruger™ is a 12"-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted blond hair and hand applied eyelashes. MINX is dressed in her on-stage costume, which consists of a star studded bra top, ultra-tight pants, boots and her signature over sized hat and jewellery. MINX also includes her special keyboard synthesizer, amp cable, miniature sheet music, alternate set of hands, a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. The synthesizer requires minor assembly; instructions are provided. For adult collectors 14 and up only.


I beet this one goes first, if only for the detailed synthesizer! She could easily be Madonna (in her Like A Virgin period) with a few alterations. The sculpt looks suspiciously like the old Ayumi one (although all Jem dolls have original unique sculpts).


Item #14038 
Phoebe "RAPTURE" Ashe™ 
The JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS™ Collection 
Suggested Retail Price: $119.00 
Estimated Ship Date: September 2013
Shipper Dimensions (Including Shipper): 15.5" X 9.5" X 3"


Phoebe "RAPTURE" Ashe™ is a 12"-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted blond hair and hand applied eyelashes. RAPTURE is dressed in her unique on-stage costume, which consists of a high-contrast black and yellow top with a matching skirt, black fishnet stockings and gauntlet and high-heeled pumps. RAPTURE also includes her signature black and gold guitar, guitar strap amp cable, a miniature "love potion" recipe, alternate set of hands, a doll stand and a certificate of authenticity. For adult collectors 14 and up only.


Some said she reminds them of the original Vanessa. I think her face is a bit wide for that, but she looks more like Anja. These dolls do not have weird flashy markings on the face like most of the Jem line does, so they can be redressed easily and fit in with other fashion lines. Be careful with what you put on them though, the body is unique to them and Color Infusion line so not all clothes are an easy match.

Integrity Toys 3rd reveal for 2013: Fashion Teen Poppy Parker (16")

Yesterday Integrity Toys did their third reveal of the year, showing to WClub members a day ahead of the general public some new collections for fashion doll collectors, who received the updates on email which included, apart from the usual photos and descriptions, links to exclusive videos showing Carol Roth and Alain Trembley discussing and demonstrating the actual doll prototypes. The first line to be shown was none other than the larger version of the popular Poppy Parker doll, Fashion Teen Poppy, who is in 1/4 scale instead of her smaller twin 1/6 scale. The four dolls of the collection were inspired by the four seasons of the year. Let's see them one by one.



Item #84001
The Glad Game
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013


Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Dewdrop Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"


First of course is Spring, represented by Glad Game Poppy. She wears a green, white and blue dress with a wide-brimmed white straw hat and a coordinating white straw bag adorned with blue and green flowers. Her look is complete with white gloves and blue pumps. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted, dewdrop blonde hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


All four Poppies in this line were exquisite, a much better showing then its debut last year. The doll does indeed remind one of spring and the detail in the dress and accessories is really good. The bag is incredible.


Item #84002
One Fine Day
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00
US Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013


Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Hot Blonde
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"


The summer Poppy does remind me of one fine day. She wears a white dress with red and black polka dots, a red straw hat and read cat eye sunglasses. She finishes off the look with a red straw purse, red heels, white gloves and a red beaded bracelet. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted scorching blonde hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


I fell in love with this one. So much so that I caved in and ordered her! What's not to like? Her dress is amazing, especially with the tailored detail on top and its polka dot print. Her accessories are amazing: the shoes, the bag, the bracelet and earrings, are all exemplary. Plus she fits nicely with many of my larger dolls wearing mid 20th century outfits. I am currently watching the second season of Magic City and she could fit right in.


Item #84003
Magic Moment 
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013


Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Autumn Red
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"


The Autumn Poppy wears a leopard print evening gown accented with a black belt and black opera length gloves. She carries a gold clutch and wears matching gold heels. To complete the look is a black faux fur wrap. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted, autumn red hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


I can confess this was one strong contender for ordering but I decided to get only one this time and One Fine Day won. Magic Moment looks like a large red-headed BG Poppy (this screening!) and the gloves look great (they might be difficult to put on the doll, even though they have a button-fastening opening at the wrist). I'm not crazy about the leopard print and the clutch is very generic. The shoes though look great. A very sultry Poppy, a bit rare for this doll.


Item #84004
Winter Wowzers!
Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™ Dressed Doll 
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls
Suggested Retail Price: $140.00 US
Estimated Shipping Date: October 2013


Doll Tech Specs:
Collection: Poppy Parker Fashion Teen™
Head Sculpt: Poppy 16
Body Type: Poppy 16
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Raven
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied
Total Packaged Dimensions (Including Shipper): 18.5" X 7.5" X 3.5"


Rounding off the collection is winter! Poppy wears an ensemble consisting of a yellow sweater with black stirrup pants, an animal print coat, earmuffs and yellow gloves. The outfit comes with a pair of black boots with white faux fur trim and white pompoms. This is a 16-inch articulated vinyl doll with fully rooted raven hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors 14 years and up.


Yes, this one has ear muffs! She looks ready to hit the slopes! I did not expect winter to have the raven haired doll (a platinum blonde is more reminiscent of the season I think) but she looks great. I'd rather see a smaller scale on the animal print coat though - or a larger one. This looks awkward. The mittens look like the ones used for the oven, hahaha. They should have been knit ones I suppose. I do hope they take care of the finish on the edge of the boots with the fur, it looks a bit cheap done like that.


The dolls are already available at all Integrity dealers so go get them!
