New Tonner Doll Joins My Collection-Perfect Morning Cami

I was lucky enough to have some funds when Tonner Doll had a 15% off plus free shipping sale about a week ago.  I've been eyeing the Cami dolls for a while, ever since I first saw her as Cinderella.  So when I could get one for under $50 with shipping, I jumped at the chance.  I purchased Tonner's Perfect Morning Cami, redhead.

I have realized I love red heads when it comes to my dolls.  I look around my collection, and several either came as redheads (rooted), or with red wigs (both from the factory, and from me purchasing red wigs to swap).  I did debate between the brunette and the red head, but there's something about that red hair that called to me more.

She comes with a sweet stretch tank/shorts outfit.  Normally I just sell off the outfit on the basic dolls, but this one is very versatile, and I think I will keep it, at least for now.  It doesn't have any goofy frills that don't fit my style.  :D

Her neck isn't extremely posable, but that seems to be the case for any doll that isn't a full BJD.  Her arms are very flexible, however, and she can reach up to touch her hair without it looking awkward.

I believe she shares the same body as Antoinette, which is wonderful for me since I needed to do a "fire sale" on some of my dolls recently, and the Antoinette I had was one I had to sacrifice to pay some bills.  I still want to get an Antoinette again, but I'm glad to have the similar body type to sew for.  While Antoinette has smaller, more realistic eyes, Cami's are big and wide, reminding me of Ellowyne Wilde.  But she also has a slightly bigger, wider face, and everything is in scale.  She has a great personality, and I think will become one of my favorite dolls to photograph.

 

Some Mornings You Just Don't Want To Get Out Of Bed

Tonner Antoinette-Instagram Style

There's something about Tonner's Antoinette dolls.  At first I didn't really like them, being used to larger eyes, nearly anime in style.  But the more I saw her, and all the variations, the more I wanted one.  Especially as I saw so many lovely photographs of other doll owners, and saw how much her personality changed with each outfit and each pose.  And the poseability!  She competes with Horsman's My Valentine in that respect.  She can sit and almost perfectly cross her legs without falling over, or looking ridiculous.

I finally managed to snag my own Antoinette a few months back on eBay.  I'm not sure of the year, but I know she is definitely an earlier model, maybe even one of the first year's production.  She has lovely wheat blonde hair that reaches her waist.  Her eyes are a soft blue, and the makeup palette beautiful matte tones.  She's dramatic, but not trampy.

I still need to sew up some proper outfits for her, so for now my photos are limited to closeups of the lovely face that took years to grow on me.

I'm late to the Instagram party, so make fun all you want.  I'm having a blast with it like a "new to me" toy!
