Ken and Barbie



The original couple...except these two are nothing like the classic dolls of the past. This Ken has an incredible face sculpt...the handsomest Mattel has made for a Ken doll I think. Barbie is also much more fun with articulated arms so she can push back her hair or put her hands on her hips. These two were listed on eBay this evening.

Matt, Kira and an Obitsu boy named Ezra




These dolls are now up on eBay. Matt is a wig doll with a flocked head and a short beard. Kira is a barbie I repainted last summer. Ezra is one of my favorite "little" dolls. He is an Obitsu doll and so much fun to pose and display. He is just about barbie and fiends size. I'm quite partial to him.

My latest two....



Tyler is redone....I like her better this way. She has more character and more of a model look. Also included is a Brenda Starr...I had forgotten how much I love this dolls face. These two are up on eBay for this week.

Antoinette and UB Tyler



These two Tonner dolls are my latest to go on ebay. Meera is the blonde UB Tyler. She is my first attempt at the newer Tyler face. Rosanna is my first Antoinette repaint who is not technically a repaint since she started out life as a blank mannequin. I think its a wonderful canvas for repaint artists. I hope the Tonner doll company does more of these type of dolls.

A sampling of Tonners

These examples of some Tonner dolls I have repainted are mixed up in order of date. It should be pretty easy to tell by the quality of the photos. In the beginning of my repainting I was using a fuji finepix 2 mp camera and later switched to a very nice Nikon Coolpix. I also think taking pictures outdoors results in a much nicer photo with truer color.
