The goddess is here: Tonner Doll Wonder Woman in Gal Gadot’s likeness available for preorder!

Today one of the best, if not THE best superhero doll Tonner Doll has ever created is finally revealed and available to preorder. A gorgeous rendition of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, with a new 15- points-of-articulation body is now ready for preorder either from Tonner Doll or from your favourite Tonner Doll dealer. As the company website ships only to the United States, Guam, The US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, US military bases, Australia, New Zealand and Asia , the rest of the world will have to scramble to the dealers to secure one of the 500 available dolls, There was a 100 pieces Deluxe edition but that was sold out in a flash. What’s the difference? Read on. 

T17DCDD03 Wonder Woman Deluxe Set - $310.00 - SOLD OUT

16” character figure of expertly engineered injected plastic and vinyl.  The totally new body has 15 points of articulation and Gal Gadot’s likeness is captured in detail. Saran is used to create lifelike hair set off with an accurate, highly detailed crown. Accurately sculpted depicting her movie costume, the WW armor consists of a molded breast plate with a genuine leather battle skirt; her armband and gauntlets are made of real metal. Wonder Woman carries her golden lasso in a genuine leather harness.  Boots are made of detailed vinyl and resin.  Figure comes with changeable open hands, fists and gripping hands. The Deluxe set Includes, along with the WW figure, her intricately detailed metal sword, shield that she can hold and stand designed to keep her on her feet for display.  LE 100

The likeness of the face is incredible. Robert Tonner now sculpts first on a computer in 3D rendering software, so he can tweak a sculpt to perfection. We also found out that the very talented repaint artist Shannon Craven was directly involved in the process of creating the face likeness of the actress, you can read all about it in her website.  If the production doll looks exactly like this one, it will be the best Tonner Wonder Woman ever. I knew I was right holding back on buying one of their previous Wonder Woman versions.

The detail on her costume is amazing. With real metal and leather used for so many things in addition to plastic and resin, the impression it gives is that of a great recreation. Metal sword eh? Yes! Leather skirt and harness? Check. Three sets of hands to vary the poses? Sure! ​

T17DCGS01 - Wonder Woman #1 BUNDLE COLLECTION - $310.00

​The bundle actually contains the same things the Deluxe editions has, for the same price. They are just packed separately instead of being in the same box. So I suspect that the Deluxe version will have a different, bigger box, maybe made for display like the Spiderman 3 one, while the simple doll has a normal, Tonner Doll sized box. We’ll see. 

There is also the option of getting each element of the bundle separately: Doll, set of sword and shield, and stand.

T17DCDD02 Wonder Woman #1 - $225.00 - LE 500. This is the doll only, No sword, no shield, no stand included.

T17DCAC01 - Shield & Sword Accessory Pack - $50.00

Wonder Woman Sword and Shield—Both shield 4.5" and sword 7.25" are crafted in fine metal with high attention to detail. It’s the perfect accessory set to your Wonder Woman character figure.  Open Edition

T17DCAC02 - Wonder Woman Stand - $50.00

​Wonder Woman Stand—The stand base 5.5" is made of acrylic resin with the Wonder Woman logo and a black bendable rod 13" so that she can hold any number of poses. A specially designed gripper keeps her secure no matter what the pose! Open Edition.

If you order separate sets of the weapons or the stand, there is a limit of six per order. So what are you waiting for! Run!

Oh, and do you know what is on the way! Look at a sneak peek from Tonner Doll official Facebook page:

She-Ra exclusive SDCC Mattel doll - with a stolen design for her sword

It has been a few days since images of the exclusive San Diego ComicCon exclusive She-Ra doll from Mattel surfaced on-line, first in USA-Today and later in various websites and forums. She looks impressive and has a new body design that is somewhere between the Made-to-Move bodies and a superhero sculpt. She will retail for $75 and of course you can only get it if you visit ComicCon.

She has different outfits and accessories that are interchangeable, offering a variety of looks.

Some more photos:

The thing is that Mattel (or more precisely, the designer working for Mattel who did this doll) has copied the gold sword from a professional Greek comic artist, Yannis Rubus Rubulias, who had done a fan-art depiction of She-Ra back in 2011.

See what they did?

The resemblance is uncanny. It is not the first time we see this kind of copying in the doll world but a major company doing it is the icing on the cake. Whoever designed the doll should have contacted Yannis to ask for permission and copyright. What do you think?

New Jem and The Holograms releases: Starstruck Jem and Craig Phillips

Jem And The Holograms will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the brand next month. Integrity Toys just announced two new additions to their Jem collection (now called the Legacy Collection to separate it from the movie merchandise later this year): Starstruck Jem™ and drummer Craig Phillips™. First introduced in the two-part episode called "The Talent Search", Craig is the brother of Stormer of the Misfits and eventually becomes Aja Leith's beau.

The dolls will be available for pre-order exclusively via IT Direct starting Saturday, September 12th (W Club members are getting a courtesy priority pre-order window). W Club members will be given a priority window to pre-order these dolls before they go on sale for the general public approximately on Monday, September 14th at Noon Eastern. The total cost of each one of the dolls will be $130.00 US + shipping and handling (and tax for Maryland residents only). A deposit of $30 per doll will be required at pre-ordering time to reserve your dolls. These dolls will be expected to ship in approximately Winter 2015. The balance of $100 + shipping and handling (and applicable taxes) per doll will be sent to you via email when the dolls are about to arrive in the warehouse. The dolls will be limited to one per 2015 W Club membership each during the priority per-order period to give a fair chance to a maximum number of fans to obtain these characters. Once the W Club priority period is over, if any dolls are left, they will be made available to the general public and one may order more at that time if they so wish.

Based on an outfit initially called "Starstruck Guitar" released in 1986 as part of the original 80's toy line by HASBRO, Starstruck JEM is the IT design team's representation of this truly outrageous look. Contrary to the toy line where HOLOGRAMS band members were meant to wear this costume, it became a key look for JEM instead and was seen in many memorable episodes such as "Glitter 'n Gold" and "The Talent Search". Integrity's version of Starstruck JEM features glittery golden make-up, a luscious two-toned hairstyle, a head band that matches her outfit and a flashy golden microphone.

JEM is a fully articulated 12.5-inch vinyl fashion doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. JEM comes with her signature Starstruck look, a golden microphone and mic stand, a golden record award, Jemstar earrings, bracelets and high-heeled boots. A doll stand is included as well.

New Jem and The Holograms doll: Lindsey Pierce

There is a new addition to the Jem And The Holograms line and it is the Lindsey Pierce character, a VJ responsible for making the group very famous. She is a fan favourite and was awaited eagerly by collectors of the line. She will be available to pre-order from IT Direct  (Integrity Toys). I like the outfit - it reminds me so much of the early 80s pop star look - Debbie Harry or Olivia Newton-John and pretty much most of the era's ladies were wearing variations of this. Again W Club members will have a day ahead to pre-order. General public will have a chance to buy the doll directly from the Jem & The Holograms dedicated webpage on March 20th 2015, if any dolls are left that is.
