Besides those ten Tyler Wentworth type dolls presented on previous page I have a couple of other Tonner dolls. First Marley Wentworth,
Tyler's little sister. The blonde doll shown below left is from the 2005 line. Basic Marley was available in brunette, redhead and
blonde versions in this pajama-style outfit. This Marley was my very first Tonner doll arriving with the birthday outfit shown below and
Tyler-Made outfit for her big sis that hadn't arrived from Germany yet.
The other Marley with red, curly hair is Ocean Mist Marley, basic Marley from 2006. I cannot resist red tight curls, although I don't care of that style in any other colour.
In her debut collection Marley had six outfits, I liked most of them but decided to get only one, Birthday on Park which you can see below left. the shoes don't show too well in a photo this little, but they are awesome! Tiny roses made of the dress fabric, mini beads as buttons and silk ribbon straps. It's not very simple to put them on, though. The other two outfits are from 2007 collection, they are called Black & White party (center left) and World Traveler (center right and right). 2007 outfits were the best ones Tonner's made for Marley yet, they remind me of Italian children's wear which I adore.

Here's my Tiny Kitty, 2004's Cocoa Truffle. Her outfit is simply lovely, she even has a scarf for the final touch. And her tiny tiny brown velvet pumps fit
perfectly.
In the second photo Kitty's redressed in Boulevard Chic outfit from 2005. I just love the micro-sequined turqoise fabric on the coat. Shoes are
good, too, excatly like the ones from Cocoa Truffle outfit, only black. And being a great friend of everything with rhinestones, the earrings are
much more to my taste than the golden ones Kitty doll came with.
In the third photo, Kitty is wearing a dress I've sewn myself. I found a "Make your own wallet"-pack with a piece of this colourful vintage
fabric. It was a really little piece but with some creativity and years of cutting experience (I always tend to buy too little fabric) the result is really
satisfying.

I�m a keen fan of Harry Potter books and have seen all the movies that have come out so far. I had been considering to buy Harry doll when he was released but never did. Draco Malfoy was an instant have-to-get. He�s new for 2007 and actually looks a lot like the actor Tom Felton. And even more important, he�s as arrogant and mean as Draco in the books. His clothing is great, trousers close with zipper! The cape is not as good, it�s hard to keep open so that the sweater and trousers would show and the hood is a little too big for my taste. But all in all, Draco is worth his price.

I also got some accessory for Draco. The colourful box is quidditch set with quaffle, bludgers, bats and of course the golden snitch. The set is quite an essential piece if I decide to get more Harry Potter dolls. Triwizard cup is not as important but is beautiful to look at.
This elegant ballerina is from Tonner�s New York City Ballet collection, and is called Dance Class. She uses Emilie sculpt and is somewhat same size as Tyler dolls, but her feet are en pointe style and she has smaller bust. I wouldn�t mind having some Tyler dolls with this smaller bustline, they could share much more clothing with other fashion dolls then.
Emilie is my favourite sculpt so it was only a matter of time when I would get one of NYCB dolls. She is pretty, calm and can be posed in lots of cool ballet positions. Clothing is ok, though it seems quality isn�t the same as it was two or three years ago. Ballet slippers aren�t an exact fit, they get wrinkled on the other side when I put them on Emilie.
The last Tonner doll I own is Bird in the Hand Sophie from Mary Engelbreit/Ann Estelle line. Sophie's sculpt is very attractive, she looks so
shamelessly pleased on herself and everything around her. As I have a passion for curled red hair and sweaters, this doll was the obvious choice for
my first Ann Estelle buy.
Sophie is much cuter in nature, no photo I took would do her justice. This was the best one and it's missing a lot: her garden gloves, two little
bird friends, her jeans, shoes and green socks. The outfit is well finished and matching colours this boldly will never be seen on Tyler Wentworth collection.
Tonner wish list (other than Tyler):
Harry Potter at Hogwarts
2006 NYCB Rehearsal brunette
Fall 2007 Queen's Tea Party
