The former fashion designer turned collector-doll artist, Robert Tonner is internationally renowned for award-winning dolls. As he said I started this company in 1991 and ... my goal was ... to produce a reasonably priced fashion doll that would be different from what was out there. My goal was to do a doll that was made to be dressed, and undressed, and sewn for, and a true playdoll for collectors. The collections he has created ever since are just as special, as you can see.
