Tonner Making Firefly dolls?!?!

[Protozaius]

I read this today about the upcoming 2010 Tonner Convention:


Saturday, May 22, 2010



Browncoats’ Breakfast -

(Breakout Event $165 - requires separate ticket purchase) BREAKFAST EVENT - Browncoats, Smugglers, Shepherds and Companions gather in a secret location from The Alliance to revel in the cult phenomenon known as ‘Firefly’. Joss Whedon’s blended science fiction and western sub cultures play into the highly original Fox Television Series and its subsequent Universal Pictures film ‘Serenity’. Robert Tonner invites you to his latest pop-culture partnership as he presents your very special Inara Serra souvenir and the debut of Malcolm Reynolds to the Tonner Character Figure™ family. Think sci-fi western in your attire (optional, of course) and be prepared to evacuate should any Reavers invade the breakfast buffet!

Interesting. As much as I'd like Firefly figures, I'm not into Tonner.

 

[ProgMatinee]

tonner totally failed on the Doctor Who stuff I was anxiously waiting for. not holding much hope for these.

 

[darthviper107]

Tonner is gay

 

[Mad Old Lu]

That seems crazy! Why Tonner of all companies?

How is the Tonner clothing, though? Is it salvageable? Maybe one can use the clothing and switch bodies and use Trevor's sculpts...

 

[galactiboy]

Ugh... finally we get some figure and they're Tonner; that would figure

 

[Kabukiman]

Is nothing sacred?

 

[BuffyGirl]

Well, I'm not sure what to think...hmmpff....

Tonner makes some GREAT costumes. Unfortunately they are in the wrong scale. I think they are 1:4 scale.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Ah! Thanks Protozaius. I was being optimistic thinking there could be SOME saving grace to this news.

Although...their Mad Hatter has been getting some good reviews!

 

[Old Grandpa]

Well they say any publicity is good publicity.This might generate interest in the Firefly/Serenity lines. You know that Tonner will make a very pretty Inara (and very tall).

Except their first figure will be Mal and they will make him into a woman

 

[EVILFACE]

That is actually my only hope out of this announcement... if they sell well (which I really can't imagine they would ) it might be enough for a 1/6 company to pick them up.

I'm hoping that company that takes notice is the one that employs Trevor since no one is topping his sculpts.
