Ooooh! I'm so excited. I've just been informed this Tonner bad girl is on her way here. I really like the Tonner DC dolls a lot but I only have a WW doll so far. I've been really coveting the Poison Ivy Deluxe doll for a long time. She's got the Denton body type and green skin like his Oz witch dolls, plus masses of flaming red hair, and a really beautiful face. She's been running anywhere from $139-300 though depending upon where you see her and I just figured she was going to stay a dream doll. Uhuh, apparently they found her online for a mere $99 and they bought her for me. Yeah baby!
Isn't she just gorgeous?

I probably won't leave her in that costume for long though. I'll have to make her something sexy to wear. I know I don't have much around that would fit a Denton body. Anyone know if the Denton body can wear standard Tonner shoes? I know the figure is bigger but how about the feet? I can't wait to see her in person. This will be my first full figured 16" doll and she's really unique besides which makes it all the more fun.
Update: Been doing some research and it looks like if I don't want to spend $20 per pair shipped for a pair of shoes for this doll she's going to need me to make her some. She's got larger feet like 18" Kitty Collier and the original Denton doll. Well, I guess that's okay. I've been wanting to try to make some doll shoes for a while now for my Kitty. With both of them having larger feet that's probably a good thing as larger shoes will be easier for first attempts.
I'm going to practice on Kitty's feet this week and see what I can come up with in terms of some quick slides. I've got poly clay for the heels and I've got some leather scraps and such. I should be able to come up with something fairly easy to put on both of them till I can advance to making things like doll pumps and boots. I've been collecting books and tutorials on this for a while, studying them. I guess it's time for me to take a shot at it and see what I can come up with. I don't think I am going to try it with resin just yet though. I don't think I am ready to try casting. I think I can make some thicker heels from polymer, bake them, paint them, coat them with tough gloss....
