Since today seems to be the day for picking on the Tonner Company (and yes, I do admit I am picking on them), I'll state I think it's ridiculous they're calling some of their dolls "character figures". Puh-leeze. They're just trying to relabel dolls as 'not-dolls' so that 15 year old nerd-boys can tell their mommies they're collecting "character figures" (with bodacious boobs!) instead of Wonder Woman or Lara Croft dolls, for example.
But we all know the truth, don't we?? Sorry, lady, your son is just playing with dolls. Dolls with boobs, or packages. But they're DOLLS.
HA- I have a grown son who has a bunch of what he calls "Action Figures". I call them his little dollies. A lot of those action figures he has are anime characters with gigantic boobage.
His taste isn't all bad, though- he thinks my Ryung is really "hot". I do notice that he chose the bjd with the large bust and not my small-busted Soah.
I haven't seen the Tonner characters- I no longer collect Tonner and sold off all but one (a special repaint).
Carry on snarkin'.

Since my son has not prejudices on playing with MY dolls, sees his father playing with HIS dolls, and even has some dolls of his own, I don't really care about people may say. Playing with dolls is healthy for boys and girls. Actually when I was a child my mother used to say GI Joe figures were meant for boys to play with dolls without having to feel ashamed. And I always found GI Joes more interesting than Barbies ;-)
Interesting information. Boy am I green. I just wanted to show you where your Arno doll has gone. Wish me luck as I am in process of contacting some of these foreign speaking companies. Your outlook on my new endevor was pretty grim. Keep a watch out in the next year. Thank you for doing business with me!
