Tonner constantly releases beautiful dolls, and suprisingly, some of the males out-shine the females! Prince Dastan from Prince of Persia is GORGEOUS! He shined brighter than even Jessica Rabbit! Though some of them are too pretty for their own good (like Hal Jordan and his soft pretty hair).
Also in this post, you'll find some Barbies I actually liked! And some pictures of MOTUC figures, because I'm not dedicating an entire post to them alone, har har.
Twilight movies aren't so bad if you mute the sound and play "Spot the Hottie"; being a series aimed at young-adults ensures a cutie on-screen at least every couple of seconds. Who is Victoria? I don't care, but she is definitely a hottie.
I'm not ashamed to admit I like some Barbies, especially when they have outrageous outfits or when they're based on my favorite fictional characters or real people I admire. Yes, these dolls are meant as display pieces so there is minimal articulation present, but Joan could have used a ball-socket wrist at least, to hold the guitar more naturally (unless she's supposed to be waving to a crowd in that picture, hah).
Here! Take your MOTUC pics! Like the DCUC area, there was a nifty MOTUC display with blandly-posed figures. To be fair though, if all the figures were posed in crazy stances, dodging sword-blows in midair, flying around like drunken squirrels, then I'd make jokes about this being a new "The Matrix" line of figures. You just can't win with me, MOTUC, you just can't win.
I had the chance to see a MOTU 200X Battle Cat, and I think that thing looks way better than the MOTUC BC.
Note the $40.00 price listed for the Mo-Larr 2-pack, I think it was $50.00 when you went to pay for it, but I was starving and dizzy for the last two days of the Con, so don't take my word for it, heh.
Oh cool, Mo-Larr came with floss! Totally worth the $50. xD
Okay, this neon spirit-thing is cool, would look great getting zapped by the Ghostbusters.
I don't think I've ever seen an ugly Tonner doll, so I won't hold my breath for them to make, oh, let's say Jonah Hex. The male figures tend to suffer from being too pretty, but the female figures look as pretty as they do on-screen, or on whatever other media the characters are taken from. I did notice that the comic-characters tend to lose their personalities because the face-sculpts are so realistic, Harley Quinn is a good example; the doll is pretty but it doesn't feel like HQ because the doll doesn't have Harley's big goofy grin or wide-eyed crazed stare, in other words, it doesn't look like a cartoon. I don't know what it is comic-character doll-collectors look for in a doll, but I know I'd rather have mine have exaggerated facial-features than have them look like a pair of actresses in suits.
Exceptions to my "I want them exaggerated" rule are of course dolls which are SUPPOSED to look like certain actors or actresses.
I know I'm making too big a deal of this, but I found these rubber-band things Tonner was giving away facinating. They wrap around your wrist or hair or whatever you want, then snap back into the Tonner logo when you take them off.
This is one DAMN PRETTY doll! Look how gorgeous his hair is!
I'd take Tonner over a Barbie anyday, if only because of the more useful articulation. And Hawkgirl's wings are REAL FEATHERS! How awesome is that!
Here's another example of the men being too pretty, is that blush I see on Hal's cheeks?
Here we go, a cartoon character with an appropriately-exaggerated face. Wes doesn't like this doll, but I do. I think he wanted this doll's boobs to be the size of oranges.
That's new, a Megan Fox toy I don't totally hate.
