Sister Dreary is beautiful. She is still on my wishlist. My latest Tonner is West End Opening. She is stunning. But this is my favorite Tonner-Lady
Thank you. I'm a Wonder Woman fangirl for years and i had to add her. I was lucky to get her on Second Market NRFB and without markup.
I may have posted this before, but I made my Kit into Wonder Woman. Great pic @BrigitteJ, I love the Gal Gadot WW!
She looks great. I like the Warrior Outfit, but couldn't get one in good conditions. My Kit is Supergirl.
Wow! BrigitteJ, you have so many gorgeous dolls! I love all your super-hero girls! LOL! And, your Ladies holding court don’t need a Prince. Unless he’s bringing chocolate! Stellarphenomena, always a treat to see your Wonder Woman. She’s fabulous!
Wow! That’s awesome! Congrats on getting her! (Now I can’t wait to see her! Please post photos when she arrives.)
She arrived today and needed fresh air after the long journey in a small box. We sold our house and moved into a flat. My new room is the former guestroom and it is tiny. I replaces most showcases with open shelves and i'm still tweaking around. It feels like playing Tetris. For now, this is her place: I bought the Autums Sonata outfit from the same seller. Cinderella showed me her best puppy eyes and gained the dress. In return, the Ladies invited her into their room. Who needs a price? We found a princess.
Wow! Brigittej, she is gorgeous! What a find! And, that is an awesome photo of her outside in the sunshine. The colors just pop! Also, who is the gorgeous princess in red?
Thank you, Mu Shu and Rabbit-moon. I thougth i wouldn't like the colorful dress, but it's okay. It's bright and funny and a real pop of color in the shelf. Maybe i should place her next to Nevermore? She is Masquerade Ball Cinderella.
This is JUST in for the Virtual Doll Convention Friends: "We have TWO Ellowyne Dolls from Robert Tonner available at the Better Together VDC Pop-Up Event. This is in addition to the four new Neema dolls!" This is the first of two, the next one to be shown soon. "Earning Her Stripes" Ellowyne - for sale August 26-28th Registration will take place August 15th! www.virtualdollconvention.com/
Wow! Stellarphenomena, she looks beautiful! If I collected Ellowynne I would definitely be looking to get this girl. Sure looks like Robert is back on his game with these new dolls.
I really like the Neema dolls and would be interested if I collected fashion dolls. Thank you for sharing.
For those of you interested in Neema & the new Ellowyne: Make sure you register at VDC (Virtual Doll Convention), join the Facebook group, and view the schedule.

Thank you for the information Stellarphenomena! These dolls look lovely. Are you thinking of getting a new Ellowynne or Neema?
Hi @Rabbit-moon! No, I'm not looking to buy any new dolls, but I will try to attend the online show to see what's new.
@Rabbit-moon: Here are the 6 dolls they listed for sale! (2 Ellowyne and 4 Neemas) Only two sold out today. Neema and Ellowyne Boutique — Virtual Doll Convention
I wish I'd had the money to get one of these (would have liked all 4 really). The basic doll was stunning! My next favorite was the one with the braids. Now we'll see them all listed on ebay for more than double the price they were sold through the convention
@Mu Shu: No doubt. VDC only allowed one doll of each to be purchased, so I supposed someone could buy up to 6 and not keep them all. However, I do get the feeling based on the group chats that a lot of these people are mostly the Ellowyne/Tonner fan base and anticipating releases for their collection. Because of the rarity of artist releases - whether dolls, paintings, limited edition prints etc. most of these are by definition *flash sales* which I despise. People even talk about all the anxiety they experience online to add and checkout before they're gone. Personally I don't participate! BUT, since I was online when the page notification came, I went to buy the basic Neema (I have been pretty indifferent; my collection is too much) and I got her. So, when she arrives in a month or two I'll post her! Just for fun, I'm sharing this video I got today from Rachel who runs Virtual Doll Convention and has her own doll shop she just renovated!
@BrigitteJ: Congrats, she's a very pretty Ello, and tempting because you can change her wig and give her different looks. Her coloring is amazing: "Ellowyne’s gorgeous cognac wigged hair punctuates the desert color palette while her copious eyelashes adorn her deep amethyst eyes."
Thanks again for the update Stellarphenomena! And, congrats on getting a basic Neema! Neema is such a pretty doll. Can’t wait to see her when she arrives. I agree with you - I hate flash-sales shopping, it’s so stressful. I did that once for a BJD; waited up all night to snag a limited doll on a Korean doll site. So not fun! I told myself I’d never do that again, no matter how much I wanted a doll. That is also why I hate the “lottery” system that some doll companies run to acquire their precious dolls. Thanks for the Doll Shop video. Wow! Her shop is really awesome! Wish I had a doll shop like that around here. I’d go crazy! Congrats Brigitte on getting one of Robert’s new Ellowyns! Looking forward to seeing her!
@stellarphenomena Thank you! The wig is beautiful, i love the color. Robert Tonner said, the amethyst eyes will be amazing and i trust him. @Rabbit-moon Thank you! I can't wait to get her. But before she arrives, i need to rearrange the Tonner shelves.
@BrigitteJ: Ello "Stripes" is still available! What's the chance the edition size was larger in actuality, but they are creating the illusion of scarcity for larger and more prolonged selling....
They had 975 dolls for sale and as i ordered my Ello, there were only 19 "Stripes" availible. Now they are down to 9. "Stripes" was the plain doll in the collection, so i think, that's okay.
Stellarphenomena, no I did not get the doll. It was a Limited Edition Full-set Elfdoll Special K. He sold out immediately on the website in 2007. (Not to mention that overseas websites at the time were not as user friendly as they are today.) I was devastated. Luckily, several months later I actually found a full-set “K” at a U.S doll shop. They had one in stock. I could not believe it! I still have him; he’s not the best poser and he has the early aesthetic of the old-skool dolls, but I adore his ancient bones.
REPOST / UPDATE For those interested in buying Tonner, Wilde Imagination, or Phyn & Aero dolls: Tonner dolls are all second market now. In the last 2 years a lot of sellers have sold on eBay. I got quite a few there as I was a late collector. You can use this for a reference, just go to the yellow box in the section "fashion females" and "Tonner convention". Then perhaps you can search for specific Tonner dolls. Dreamcastle Dolls You may be able to get a basic doll for under $150. The nicer fashion dolls you will probably pay at least $200+. Doll Peddlar does have the most dolls, I believe. You can look online at: Gigisdolls DKKdolls, Twodaydreamers, Cherylsdoll, etc. Here are some at Thedolllady: Tonner Doll Company Archives - The Doll Lady Tonner is going to be releasing his newest dolls (Olivia Chase) through Sideshow collectibles. Sign up: R Tonner Design To see previews go to: Sideshow Home .... type Robert Tonner in the search. 2022: Tonner has Grace, Ellowyne Wilde, and his new doll Neema available at intervals here: Virtual Doll Convention You can also follow Robert Tonner's Instagram: Login • Instagram If you haven't seen it yet, here is Part 1 of the Tonner thread: /threads/does-anyone-collect-tonner.737512/ Happy Hunting!
Thank you @Rabbit-moon! I just thought all this info was buried in a past post, so hopefully it will help the casual peruser and possibly interested fan.
Hey all! Just sharing this Tonner doll you can get. Her name is Lacey Churchill ("Technicolor Treasure Red"). A newer sculpt with the RTB-101 body with a modified torso and arms. She is from the convention The United Federation of Doll Clubs (UFDC). There are a few left, I've been eyeing her... Technicolor Treasure Red | UFDC Shop - 2022 Convention Dolls are Here You can find older convention specials here at The Doll Peddlar: Tonner Doll Co. | Convention/Special Editions | Doll Peddlar | Dolls, Clothing and Accessories
@Mu Shu: Thank God! I have no complaints about this doll, her eye make up is good, she has applied eyelashes, and her coral lipstick is pretty and vibrant. Oh and they pierced her ears! The Neema with the short hair came out really good too, kinda wish I had got her.
No, but it was a late order. Plus, she has a long journey to Germany. Usually it takes 3-4 weeks untill a doll from the US arrives. I'm pretty sure, it will take untill November. But i played with my dolls today and rearranged the shelves. Looks like i should paint the bottom side too...
WOW! Look at all your wonderful dolls! What a fabulous collection! I'm in love! Thanks so much for sharing.
