Name's Cat. I'm an L.A. gal who loves everything from classic movie queens to pinups to classic horror. My likes vary a lot. Having said that, I refuse to fit in a box or apologize for being me.

Tonner dolls presents their Marilyn Monroe fashion doll collection

These are 16” limited edition fully articulated quality vinyl dolls with outfits made from some of Marilyn’s most popular films including: How to Marry a Millionaire, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, Niagara and Love Nest.

(These are not the finished products only the prototypes. I own the Marilyn doll from the Tonner convention and she is fabulous.)
