The sofa has big bones
This is a lovely photo - but I can't help thinking the doll is wearing a couch cover. The material is so thick. Plus, the waist appears to be too high and it makes the doll look fat. That hasn't happened since I received the Tyler doll in the gray sweater dress and cardigan - the one with short blond hair. I can't remember the name. Anyway, poor Sydney looks like a fat sofa. Oh well.

Flowers in the Attic
Did VC Andrews have Sasha dolls? Did you know the last name of the brother/sister couple in the book is DOLLanganger? Screeeaaaaaaam!

Repaints
If Basquiat came back from the dead, I don't think I'd let him use my Sybarite as a canvas if he were to ask. But I'd let him paint on any Dollfie or Tyler Wentworth doll in my collection.
Hmmm...except for my Sherry Miller ooaks.
Other than that, he can could have whatever he wanted.

It's like Madame Tussauds
Have you ever been to a Madame Tussaud's joint where you see what looks like Betty Ford or Margaret Thatcher and you walk up and read the nametag and it says "Princess Diana" or "Barbra Streisand" or something shocking like that and you think OMG who is doing the sculpting here and are they blind?
Well..check out this comparison pic of Tonner's "Elizabeth Swan" (I'm makin' big dramatic air quotes here, folks) with a pic from the movie. Now...when did Keira Knightly grow a widow's peak? Uhm, she didn't.
See, looking at this doll is like going to Madame Tussaud's tourist trap wax locale and thinking you are looking at Celine Dion. Why would Celine be wearing a 17th century gown? I don't know and frankly I don't care, but she is. And then you read the name placard and it's KEIRA KNIGHTLY and you think NO IT IS NOT - IT IS CELINE DION before she got weirdly skinny and wrinkled post-baby cloning/birth.
To be honest, that is the one thing I love about wax museums - is guessing who is who. Love it.
Thanks for the good times, Tonner Co.

Sherry Miller's Esme
This is a repaint by Sherry Miller. I managed to get it on ebay for a song. I cannot tell you how freakin' flawless Sherry Miller's work is. She set the standard in doll facepaint starting around 2000. Tonner is very lucky to have her on board.
*VERY*
*LUCKY*
White hot NOT
I saw this pic of a new sculpt from the Tonner Factory (named "White Hot Ava") and I'm wondering if that doll would like a little more jawline to go with that short forehead.
And this is from the folks that brought us the Sydney Chase sculpt so I know they are capable. But...not this time.

Yarnage Carnage 80's style
Who doesn't see some major yarnage carnage 80's style with this little number from the Tyler Wentworth line?
This looks like something from a John Waters movie.
Except it's not.
Hello Punk Rock Girl!
This is my favorite Pullip.
She is smarter than Juno because she's on birth control, and she's got just as much if not more moxxie.
