Tonner's Nu Mood Doll Collection











Tonner Doll Company, award-winning designer of collectible dolls, has released a new and entirely groundbreaking line: The Nu Mood™ Collection. Established in 1991, Tonner Doll Company is internationally renowned and has been a staple in the high-end collectible doll industry for over two decades.

"Collectors have been asking for more of a custom approach to collecting, and born out of that idea is the Nu Mood™ line," says Robert Tonner, acclaimed doll artist, Tonner CEO and namesake. "If they so desire," explains Robert, "collectors can chose the body style, the hands, the feet, the hair, the outfit. Basically, they can really customize a doll in a way that is meaningful and fun to them. And that's what it's all about!"

Comprised of 3 different body types (Fashion, Dance, and Curvy) and 7 different head sculpts, the Nu Mood™ Collection is unlike anything Tonner Doll has done before. The Nu Mood™ Fashion body (also used in the Tyler Wentworth® line) is a standard 16" figure with a model-esque body and high-heeled feet, while the Dance body has a slimmer bust, and ballet feet (En Pointe). Finally, the Nu Mood™ Curvy body has a fuller bust and hip than the Fashion body, for those collectors who prefer a more voluptuous appearance. Each body style has 13 points of articulation for limitless dynamic posing. For a high-end collectible, the dolls are at a wonderfully affordable price-point of $59.99.












What makes this collection a stand-out for Tonner is the interchangeable hands and feet, which allow for unprecedented pose-ability and play. Tonner Doll offers a Nu Mood™ hand pack consisting of 3 pairs of hands: Fancy Hands, Holding Hands, and Fists. The Fancy Hands are elegant and graceful in appearance, while the Holding Hands are able to hold props, and the Fists are great for the hand-on-the-hip pose, for example.

Similarly, a Nu Mood™ foot pack, called In Step, is offered also, which includes 3 pairs of feet: High-Heeled Feet, Dance Feet (En Pointe ballet), and Flat Feet. Each hand and foot pack is available in both Caucasian and African American skin tone.

But wait: There's more! This extensive Nu Mood™ Collection also includes an endless array of fashions and accessories to play with. Tonner offers graceful, flowing dance attire, including shoes and tiaras, as well as copious amounts of fashionable footwear, purses, wigs and outfit separates. This collection brings back the power of play like never before!

The Tonner / Marvel Team Up Returns

Tonner Doll Company, an award-winning designer and manufacturer of high-end collectible dolls and figures, will team up with MARVEL to create character figures based on classic MARVEL characters.

"We were fortunate enough to work with Marvel a few years ago and I am thrilled to be back working with them," Robert Tonner, CEO of Tonner Doll said. "We are looking at all of the classic characters like Captain America, Storm and Jean Grey," he added.

Tonner Doll Company, best known for its unique ¼ scale, will offer MARVEL characters that are approximately 16"-17" tall with multiple articulated joints for expressive movement and mobility. In the wide world of collectibles, the ¼ scale is highly sought after for it's unmatched distinction and posing ability.

In keeping with the fine detail and high-end quality of Tonner's other popular product lines, they will feature hand-painted facial features, rooted hair; and authentic costuming inspired by the character's life from origin, and secret identity to hero.

Fans can expect to catch the first glimpse of MARVEL licensed TONNER CHARACTER FIGURES™ in early 2011. For more information, go to www.tonnerdirect.com.

Toy Fair 2010: Tonner Dolls

At what point does something cease being a doll and is accepted as a work of art? Tonner has been pushing this boundary for years now and the only thing that's changed is the licenses! This year, they premiered an original line that is sure to get the attention of my more punk inclined folks in the audience, more pretty Twilight characters for our pale kids and an appearance from a certain time traveling Doctor!! Hit the links and start saving your cash NOW...

Thanks to the Tonner crew for accommodating our requests and giving us access and Heather Buckley for her interview super powers! Note: Figures pictured are often not finished product. Final items may look different.
