Tonner Doll revealed their mainline release a while ago, with a variety of styles and doll series, many of them fashion and many from the films they hold licences for, older and new. We will check out most of them, starting with the classic Tonner fashion line, Tyler Wentworth. This includes two dressed dolls, two basics and one outfit.

Sydney is a dressed doll in fine quality vinyl and hard plastic. She has the classic Sydney head sculpt and the 16" Tyler bending wrist body in the Tyler skin tone. She has blue painted eyes, mink rooted saran hair. Her outfit is a red one shoulder strap ruffle dress, accessorized with a matching red fascinator with faux flowers, rhinestones, and veil. Finishing the look are red rhinestone stud earrings, a red rhinestone bracelet, nude pantyhose and red satin pumps. She comes with a stand. 

Normally fascinators like this are intended to be worn with cocktail suits or dresses, for official morning or afternoon functions. It looks way over the top with a long gown, which should have something quite different accompanying it. The dress is just a cascade of ruffles, which for me is too much. A combination of draping and flounce, like the Ungaro dresses of the 80s, would look way better. Sydney looks beautiful though.

The Classic Elegance Tyler is a  dressed doll with the Tyler head sculpt and the 16" Tyler bending wrist body in the Tyler skin tone. She has light green painted eyes and flame rooted saran hair. She is wearing a black velvet dress with attached ribbon belt and rhinestone decoration. The outfit comes with rhinestone bracelets and matching rhinestone earrings. She wears nude pantyhose with attached panties and black faux suede shoes. She comes with a stand. 

This is a very beautiful Tyler, I am a sucker for red hair and green eyes. She reminds me of Rita Hayworth in Gilda, but translated into a tamer, more fashion-y style. Superb.

This is one of the basic dolls. She has the Sydney head sculpt on a 16" Tyler bending wrist body in the Tyler skin tone. She has grey painted eyes and golden blonde removable wigged saran hair. She wears a gold and yellow lamé swimsuit with a pair of gold molded plastic shoes and gold sunglasses. She comes with a stand.

If you see the close up photo above, it looks like they photoshopped the wig on the doll - and a really bad photoshop job it is.  It surely makes the doll look worse than she really is.

The second basic doll has the Tyler head sculpt on a 16" Tyler bending wrist body in the Tyler skin tone. She has blue painted eyes and amber removable wigged saran hair. She sports a pink and gold lamé swimsuit with gold molded plastic shoes and gold sunglasses. She comes with a stand.

There it is again. Botched photoshop job. Even worse than the previous one. And the doll looks so beautiful, but the impression is ruined by the photoshopped wig. Shame.

The only outfit of the series. It fits the 16" Tyler bending wrist body. It consists of a gunmetal taffeta skirt with rosettes, a grey bodysuit with dark grey draped chiffon overlay. The outfit is finished with a gunmetal faux leather textured belt with beaded decoration, metallic tights, a pair of grey faux leather shoes and a pair of gunmetal silver flower cut-out earrings.


I love the ruched gathering of the top and the faux leather of the belt looks great too. The earrings are magnificent from what little they show. Really nice.
