I haven't even had breakfast yet
Okay, I am going to bring my squee over here and stop spamming the poor people on Twitter because OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO BE POOR! I AM GOING TO BE SO VERY, VERY POOR! They are making ANOTHER Tonner Edward!




WELL SCREW YOU TOO!


After a brief discussion on Twitter, what I think they're going to do here is possibly that first biology class scene--whichever shirt that was (amazingly, I do not have these things memorized), and black eyes. (This would be used as a double for Tonner Edward, not as a new and separate character.) (Taxidermy owl sold separately.)

Problem: It's a San Diego Comic Con exclusive. And there's only 200 of them.

ARGHHHH.

Well, that's a month from now. If anyone ends up going and thinks they can grab it, let me know--there might be a lottery? Ouch. I would pay you back for it, obviously. I just want to make sure I don't have five different people with dolls wanting to be paid back. Or, for that matter, an army of Hungry Edwards in my room.

OMG, Tonner is going to end up with how many versions of Edward? I'll bet anything though, Hungry Edward may be exclusive to Comic Con right now, but sooner or later he'll be available for mass sales with maybe a couple of minor changes. Good luck Cleo!! If I were going I'd be glad to get you one. Unfortunately, married with children & broke doesn't leave me with the budget. Or the time. :)

Well, if I do happen to win the contest for SDCC tickets I will let you know. Pretty unlikely, though.

On a Tonner related note, if anyone is curious about the Who/Torchwood dolls I emailed them to see if I could get an idea of when they might be released; the email I received said "this project has taken longer then we anticipated" so...it might be a while I guess?

Oh man. I hope you hire, like, a SWAT ninja or something because seriously, this is going to be on the level of the Tour of Terror. D: Maybe moreso because its combined with Comic Con hype and rabid collectors besides the normal gaggle of fangirls.

Just let me know when the time gets closer.

WOO CRAZY. The regular Tonner Edwards must really be selling. I suppose I underestimated the number of people willing to drop 140 bucks on a doll.

cleolinda From: [info]cleolinda Date: June 11th, 2009 09:47 pm (UTC) (Link)
Never underestimate the willingness of people to throw money at Twilight. They only made a couple thousand each of the original Edward and Bella, I think--and then Books-a-Million bought like 400 each for their stores. And Tonner sold 100 each at NYCC. Twilight's one of the few things you can count on to sell in this economy. Last I heard, BAM is also getting a similar kind of exclusive for the holidays, although I don't know what--I suggested "baseball outfit," "prom outfit," and/or "sparkle" when I was talking to one of their buyers (who, uh, happens to be dating my sister).

I'll be at SDCC the entire time (book promo, ahoy!), so if you want, I can try to get you one.

(I have to check the itinerary, but I'm pretty sure The Husband and I are going to be there on the Thursday "pro day", so that might give you an edge on getting one. I don't know. You will just have to help defend me from the mocking of my spouse with regards to trying to get a Grrr!Edward. ::grin::)

You could contract them out to other Shelfian-licensed and Cleoland-approved productions. Make some of that money back!

I'm going to SDCC on Thursday, so I could try but after hearing what a clusterfuck Twilight caused before and that there are only 200 dolls... Like I said, I can try, but I also don't want to be fatally wounded by a 12-year-old girl.

Also I am only there on Thursday so if there is a lottery, or it's done on any other day, I'm out of luck.

They did (I think) 2 lotteries the day I was there for NYCC - I think I mentioned I'd tried to win one of them for you once I found out. :) They give out about...3? I think it was? of the bigger dolls. So I am guessing at SDCC they may do a couple of lotteries a day. If someone stops off at the beginning of the first day and asks, I am fairly sure the Tonner folks will tell when in the day the lotteries will be called (you have to be there to win) and also they *may* tell which dolls will be given away. I am not sure if they'll do a lotto for such a new doll, but it never hurts to ask. Good luck!

I KNOW, RIGHT? I'm trying to talk myself down from the ledge here. Like, you can buy the fashion doll clothing for less than that, and I can photoshop his eyes black if I just have to, and if you can even see them in the pictures. I need to see a picture so I can talk myself out of this. And it's a really blatantly gratuitous variant, too, because it's like, a different shirt. Just a shirt. No fancy jacket. I don't even know FOR SURE that the eyes will be different.

Man, I don't know how you sleep with two of those in your room. You're far braver than I am.

I really hope this doesn't seem out of line, but have you ever thought about switching to a blog that uses ads? I know blogspot allows you to put ads on your page and the amount you get depends on the traffic of the site and, to an extent, the amount of people that click on the ads. With your following, I feel like your Tonner jones would be set for life.

People have suggested it before, but I'd be afraid to move from where I am, and I'd be afraid to introduce a new element like that--historically, people tend to throw hissyfits when ads are introduced to anything. Which is odd, because when you start with ads, they don't really complain.

My theory is that, in the end, eventually, I'll have content that people can buy, content that people are used to buying--books. Well, I mean, I have one out already, albeit in a limited capacity, and it originally came out when fewer people were reading. I don't know--I just feel like free online content--since it started that way, after all--is a good investment.

Peter Facinelli suggested on his Twitter that they play "Single Ladies" when Edward leaves Bella in New Moon. Someone made a nice clippy video for it.
