Emerging from the bleak reality and sobering horrors of World War I, Americans during the 1920s were bursting with the need to celebrate life. Diversion became the order of the day. Established social mores were shed in favor of fun and frivolity. Rebellion and the desire for change were in the air. Americans—chafing at restrictive social traditions and laws such as Prohibition—became intoxicated with the idea of breaking loose. Jazz music thrilled the ears and stirred the soul; Art Deco reached its zenith; modern appliances and inventions added to leisure time; the automobile brought increased freedom and mobility; women won the right to vote; and social roles were redefined. ]]> support4@infoswell.com (Nayda Rondon) Tonner Doll Co Fri, 01 Aug 2008 00:00:00 +0000 http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/118-tonner-new-york-city-ballet-dolls.html http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/118-tonner-new-york-city-ballet-dolls.html Poised to be heirloom treasures in-the-making, Tonner Doll Co.’s new creations for the New York City Ballet will capture your hearts this holiday season.

Kissing under the mistletoe…decorating with evergreen wreaths, silver bells and red holly…baking sugar cook­ies…brightly wrapped surprises waiting to be opened… singing carols by a crackling fire… The holiday season is upon us, bring­ing beloved and time-honored traditions, memories and goodies in its festive wake. This year—thanks to a collaboration between the New York City Ballet (NYCB) and the Tonner Doll Co. (TDC) that brings a new ex­pression to a beloved symbol of the season—all good doll collectors (if you’ve been naughty, there’s still hope) can look forward to a delightful gift. ]]> support4@infoswell.com (Meg Hunt) Tonner Doll Co Mon, 24 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000 http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/85-transforming-harry-potter.html http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/85-transforming-harry-potter.html
Thanks to the magic of Robert Tonner, the world’s most famous boy wizard is now a collectible boy doll.

In the magical world created by author J.K. Rowling, wizards and witches have several ways to change their appearance. There’s Polyjuice Potion for one; it takes a month to brew, but with it you can transform into someone else. Extremely skilled wizards and witches can learn to become an Animagus, and transfigure at will into an animal form. Alas, we Muggles (that’s nonmagical folk) have no such abilities. To transform, we usually have to rely on the “magic” provided by the local Halloween costume shop. But there is one other way: Follow the yellow brick road up to Hurley, New York, and the Tonner Doll Company. A wizard in his own right, Robert Tonner has the power to turn humans into dolls. Late last year, he unveiled his latest magical transformation— an amazingly lifelike doll of Harry Potter. ]]> support4@infoswell.com (Louise Fletcher) Tonner Doll Co Wed, 01 Feb 2006 00:00:00 +0000 http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/80-there-she-is-miss-america.html http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/80-there-she-is-miss-america.html Meant to Represent the Crème de la Crème of Feminine Ideals, these Lovely Dolls are all Winners

In my 25 years of doll collecting, I continue to be inspired and fascinated by the way other collectors focus on different areas and sub areas when building their doll collections. Take, for instance, the Barbie collector whose interest is only Skipper or Midge, or the Shirley Temple lover who will only collect the exceedingly rare compo versions of the dolls. As I delved into my research for our Miss America doll, I was delighted to discover a new (for me) collection, full of nuance and the “thrill of the chase”–the Miss America doll. ]]> support4@infoswell.com (Robert Tonner) Tonner Doll Co Wed, 01 Sep 2004 00:00:00 +0000 http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/81-sitting-pretty-with-tiny-kitty.html http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/81-sitting-pretty-with-tiny-kitty.html

Robert Tonner’s Diminutive New Doll Has Caught on in a Big Way.

Good things come in small packages. Less is more. We’re all familiar with the clichés that teach us that, well, bigger is not always better! If you need further proof that small is best, here it–rather, here she–is! Tiny Kitty Collier, the latest fashion doll from the Tonner Doll Company, is pretty and poseable, yet small enough to sit in your hand.  Just ten inches tall, the little looker is Robert Tonner’s smallest fashion doll to date. Tiny, yes, but not short on style: Tiny Kitty boasts a wardrobe that any fashion doll would covet. Unlike her larger cousins, however, Tiny Kitty has a magical, sprite-like quality that makes her most en­dearing. Think Tinker Bell in haute couture, and you pretty much have the picture.   ]]> support4@infoswell.com (Louise Fecher) Tonner Doll Co Fri, 01 Aug 2003 00:00:00 +0000 http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/79-robert-tonner-the-collectors-couturier.html http://dollsmagazine.com/manufacturers/tonner-doll-co/79-robert-tonner-the-collectors-couturier.html

From Charming Children to Femme Fatales, This Dollmaker’s Well-Dressed Creations Make Fashion Friendly, Affordable and Fun.

In the real world, fashion isn’t always fun. Upscale stores and boutiques are filled with stick-narrow clothing clearly never meant for a woman’s hips, chic designer garments with sky-high price tags, and oh-so-pretty shoes that go medieval on our feet. But thanks to Robert Tonner, the doll world’s leading couturier, we can live out all of our fashion fantasies with ease. Are hot, cutting-edge looks for you? If so, check out Tonner’s new offerings for the lovely and leggy Tyler Wentworth, such as “Florentine,” a curve-hugging silk-brocade gown with a plunging neckline. Are warm, nostalgic confections more your taste? Then take home Kitty Collier in “Lilac Cotillion,” a ball gown fit for a Southern belle, or treat your Tiny Betsy McCall to “Sunny Days,” a sun-bright checked playsuit topped with a pinafore. ]]> support4@infoswell.com (Louise Fecher) Tonner Doll Co Thu, 01 Aug 2002 00:00:00 +0000
