Tonner was known for designing high quality vinyl dolls, with a painstaking eye for detail, until Tonner closed in 2018. Their flagship doll Tyler set the standard for other 16 fashion dolls, with articulated elbows and knees and a wardrobe full of luxury fabrics such as silk, linen and cashmere. The Tyler series included other characters such as Mei, Sydney and Esme, and they all share the same body. Other 16 doll outfits such as those by the Franklin Mint, All About Eve, or Madame Alexander’s Alex should also fit her body sculpt. This is Esme in her debut outfit, released in 2000. It features Esme in a mod inspired red belted bodycon dress with black shoes and sunglasses, and a portfolio prop. I don’t believe she has ever been displayed. The doll’s hair is well styled and her clothing shows no signs of fading. All pieces appear to be present. The box has some cosmetic damage to the surface from storage but is otherwise sturdy and in decent shape. Paper elements may have some discoloration. Some artificial materials or elastics might have degraded over time but were not tested.
