Update 01.28.16 (it didn't used to happen, but nowadays the comments added to blog posts all disappear when the post is one month old .... maybe I should check the Weebly settings to see if I can change that) As was noted in recent comments by Joy, the word from the recent Tonner west coast convention is that the renewal of the Ann Estelle line will not use the ten inch bodies. What a big disappointment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claudia asked me recently what my hopes/wishes would be for the reinvigorated Tonner Ann Estelle line coming up in 2016. So that has started me to thinking! Wouldn't it be great if Tonner was making another face sculpt for the line, that would "match" the proportions of Ann Estelle, Sophie, et al??!! So that would be my first wish, I guess.
Claudia reminded me that I have always lusted after more substantial "rubber" rain boots for the dolls - ones like Tonner made for the Little Miss Matched line (sorry if that's not the totally correct name of the line - I may be forgetting it!) or ones that some of the Korean BJD companies used to make for their 1/6 dolls. So yes, that would be fun! Here's a picture of Gracie that could serve as the inspiration (and the other outfit would be a cutie too!):

And since I myself don't have much talent for sewing with knit fabric, I'd love for Tonner to make footie pajamas (WITH the flap in the behind!) like these on the left:

I may continue to post some "I wish" illustrations in the next couple of weeks. Please chime in in the "comment" section if you too have a favorite Engelbreit illustration that you'd like to see Tonner bring to life. I know that you cannot include images with your comments, but if you describe the drawing, I can probably guess which one it is (yes, I've looked at A LOT of ME illustrations) and add a scan of it.
Meanwhile, along with the kids in the above illustration show, I'm sending out best wishes and high hopes for 2016!!! R.
