Eating my words, sort of.
Tonner is running a 30% off Black Friday sale and there is no shipping besides if you use the coupon code they mention on the website. So the $50 Astor is now a sane $35 and I got a $24 outfit for like $17.50 I think it was. Oh, and I'm not actually paying for her my SIL is paying for my nieces. It's my Christmas present from them so actually I'm pretty happy about that. I got Astor and the turquoise outfit I liked wanted. The rest of the dolls and outfits I think they're cute too but she's the one I really wanted to buy and that's the only outfit that really grabbed me. It's rather Barbie Stardoll looking, that one.
I like her normal outfit too particularly the shoes which are basically the same as the silver ones that came with this set. I'm rather hoping some of the other shoes I have will fit her too, but there's no telling now with the size difference thing what she can actually wear so I will just have to see and at least now she has two pairs that I know will fit her. When they first announced these I thought she'd fit right into MT stuff and vice versa but maybe not. Since she's quite a bit taller than the MT's she might be bigger and have larger feet. I suspect she's more like Tyler sized only with a slimmer teen body, but I'll have to wait till she gets here to actually compare her with other dolls, I guess. This is Astor in the turquoise outfit. She's really cute isn't she?
http://www.tonnerdoll.com/city-girls/ne ... shion-packI just found this. It's a body comparison for the girls. Looks to me like she's right between a 13" girl and a 16" in terms of body and shoe size. I'm glad I bought the extra outfit now. Looks like she's going to have smaller feet than a 16" girl but somewhat larger feet maybe than an MT. Could be the MT, Jem, and Elle shoes might fit her but I do have doubts on that score. Her feet look smaller than both Delilah's too so outfitting her with more shoes could be pretty tricky. Let's hope that Tonner decides to put out a shoe pack, yes? The one outfit with cape, it looks different from the Toy Fair version. I wanted that one but it now has black plastic boots instead of brown suede ones and looks a bit different underneath besides. I liked it better the original way...
