CAAF Charity Auction OOAK Dolls

While you are waiting for the Raffle Prizes...we thought you'd like to see some of the OOAK dolls for tomorrow's Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF) Charity Auction...
We're having a blast here with live music...and folks lining up for the purchase of the Prudence and Rufus Companions (Rufus was shown in a centerpiece with a street scene and lamppost - by himself, he's sold as a companion). All three dolls (Ellowyne, Prudence and Rufus) are each LE400. No news on how or when extras might be sold outside the convention.
Get your PJs ready! The Slumber Party and Raffle Prizes are pulled next...names received int he Raffle Prize Post by 9:30 EST (8:30 Central) will be eligible for 12 FREE prizes!
Look for answers to your Questions to Robert tomorrow morning during the Pinnochio Farewell Brunch! Thanks for being a part of the VIRTUAL Convention!

BEHIND THE SCENES: Lunch at the Daily Planet

We're really sorry for the goof up on the order of postings...if you are looking for images of Lady 'G'...please scroll further down before the Sales Room Post. Images from the Daily Planet Souvenirs can be seen below this post...and here is your behind the scenes look at the set up of Lunch at the Daily Planet!

Lunch at the Daily Planet

Lunch at the Daily Planet - here are the dolls...we'll post more behind the scenes details just after the event!



Lois Lane (LE300) & Superman are both new head scupts. Krypto (LE300) was given as a table favor and he will only be made for this convention & a few for Wizard World Philadelphia (see below).

Lana Lang is the Companion Doll (LE300) - she's also a new sculpt. We have no information on whether other versions of Lois and Lana will be made available in the regular DC Stars line. This debut Superman will appear in the regular DC Stars line - 200 advance pieces were made available for the Tonner Convention - and 100 will be made available at Wizard World Philadelphia, later this May (see company calendar for details - www.tonnerdoll.com/calendar.htm

BEHIND THE SCENES: Mother Goose Re-Imagined

Robert Tonner will now take YOUR Questions!

Good Morning, Virtual Attendees!


We've seen many folks asking questions here and there on the blog...and while we really can't monitor and answer all, we did want to create a post where you could ask those questions directly to Robert. We'll get you answers later in the day. Please refrain from the regular questions you could ordinarily send to help@tonnerdoll.com - but then again, if it's a question we can answer...we'll do our best. Let 'er rip!
We'll see you a little later at the Mother Goose Re-imagined Event!
