Hey. So I searched for one of these. Came up with a lot of character-specific Tonner threads but not an all-encompassing one.
I know very few of you collect Tonner, but those who do see the appeal are awesome.
The Tonners I currently own are:
Harley Quinn:
Did a bit of tailoring on her. When she came, she had long blonde hair sticking out of the back of her hood. I cut her hair to its proper length, then tucked it into the costume and sewed up the hole. Now she looks like Harley Quinn proper.
Harleen Quinzel:
Also fiddled with her. I took her hair out of the pony-tail, trimmed it to its proper length again, and then put it up in Harleen's trademark pigtails.
I know, blasphemy to mess with Tonner dolls in such a way! But these two I never plan on selling. Here's mine:
(Though this photo was taken before I sewed up Harley's hood.)
I now also own this gorgeous beauty:
Snow White "Wishing." She is another keeper that I will never sell.
The two I am selling are:
The Joker:
Just a bit too homely to hang on to.
And Elphaba:
"Dance of the Witch" This one breaks my heart to sell but I'm a bit desperate for Christmas present money so.. I'll probably buy another Elphaba sometime in the future. The ballet theme I was never all that fond of anyway.
Why do I love Tonner? Sure, they're not the most articulate things in the world. But with what you can articulate, you can certainly make them look graceful and interesting. They're also large-scale figures, or dolls, however you want to refer to them. I think it's unfair to call these dolls while we call most 1:6 scale toys "figures." Where is the line drawn? When I was a kid, if it had cloth clothing, it was a doll. I call these dolls but I also call Sideshow and Medicom figures dolls.
The detail put into the paint jobs, sculpts and clothing is usually amazing. Sure, Edward Cullen looks like a ******, but does Robert Patterson not also look like a ******? I admit that not all of the figures look perfect. Batman, Catwoman, anyone with a mask doesn't come off looking so good. But most characters look great. The attention to detail is amazing. I paid $140 for my Snow White, and I believe she was worth it. I got Harley and the Joker together for $75 which was a steal. Harleen I nabbed for $100 and I believe Elphaba was the same price. For the scale and the detail, the dolls are easily worth the prices. I remember when my Harley and Joker first came in the mail I was shocked at how big they actually were. Until you get your hands on one, you don't really appreciate them as much as you could.
Any other collectors here? And which ones do you own? My best friend is very adamant to get this one when it's released, which should be this month:
