Tonner's Three Spirits of Christmas

Christmas Future aka Anna Caroline is a Drearydom character -  the great great ghostly grandmother  to Agnes Dreary.  At Christmas she is one of the three spirits created by Robert Tonner for the line Charles Dickens - Christmas Carol. (click on picture to enlarge)

 

This year Tonner's vintage Eric accompanies them as author Charles Dickens - watching over his characters.

A Dickens of a doll for the three Christmas spirits

Who isn't spellbound by Charles Dickens' storytelling? Especially around the holidays. For my Past Present Future display this year I wanted a Charles Dickens lookalike to be standing with them. Didn't exactly happen but I did find a rather impressive doll to represent Mr. Dickens at an earlier age. IMO

 

 

from Ebay "Eric, a 21" male model fashion doll made by the Robert Tonner Doll Company. Eric is a limited edition and this doll is 131/500. He has rooted dark brown hair and his face paint is holding nicely. His head, shoulders and legs move in their sockets and hold position. His body shows light play wear; however, there is some darker discoloration on and under his arms as well as his back. I'm not sure the cause since the white tuxedo shirt is clean. His outfit consists of a white tuxedo shirt, red heart boxes, black tux jacket and pants, black satin bow tie and matching cummerbund, black socks and black tuxedo shoes. There are no visible rips or tears on the outfit though there may be some discoloration around the neck of his white shirt. Doll stand is included as is his tag noting his limited edition status."

 

I displayed him today with the spirits (tomorrow's pic) and DH walks in and questions where I found the Benedict Cumberbatch doll. Hmm - perhaps there is a slight resemblance.

A doll chair for Agnes Dreary

I love miniature furniture as much as the dolls. Was so excited to find Charlene on Prego who offered this 16" doll scaled chair - wing back in blk/wht chevron pattern.

Hmmm - this looks like something the cast of AHS Coven would wear.

A Haunting Stroll

Why this doll? Tulah the tuff needed a display mother and everyone knows that children who attended Grimm's Fabled Academy for Girls must be related to at least one character from literary fiction, film or the doll world. Add some red locks and we have Tonner's 2006 A Haunting Stroll.
