Tonner dolls

My collection of Tonner dolls is focused on Roberts fashion doll creation Tyler Wentworth. Tylers debut was at a toy fair in 1999 to collectors delight and she became one of Tonner Dolls most successful brands for over a decade. Tylers world included many other characters, friends, colleagues, a boyfriend, siblings and other family members. Tyler has now been retired from the regular line but her legacy continues to inspire and captivate collectors worldwide.
