The preview pics are up... www.roberttonner.com/twilight.htmwww.roberttonner.com/2008TonnerSite/2008Images/Twilight/edwardandbella.jpgI like them. The likenesses aren't completely perfect...but not too bad. I love that they used a lighter vinyl for Edward to make him more pale. And they gave Bella a new shorter "teen" body which looks great. The outfits seem exactly like the film. I imagine there will be fancy dress versions comign as well..or at the very least, extra outfits to buy. I plan to get them both for sure. Oh and it says Spring 2008.

You really shouldn't post those pics here...you should link to them only...that's copyright infringement.

Wow these look pretty good. I am defiantly going to get both of them. I really like the pale skin they gave Edward and the new body for Bella suits her vary well. I do think that Bella's likeness isn't as good as Edwards, but pretty close.

I think they look amazing. I have always been a big fan of Tonner and I can say that they may not be spitting images of the actors, but they always capture the character perfectly. I do agree with you about the body barb, it looks perfect.
(and I don't think it's really that big a deal using the pictures seeing as other websites all over the world post the same pictures, but just to make sure I added a notice)

Yes, his hair is amazing! And I love Bella now...LOL She grew on me pretty fast!
UPDATE: Ok, these are TonnerDirect Exclusives? That means that you will not be able to find them in other stores for discount price and will be forced to pay the highest retail price possible. AND they are pre-ordering now WITHOUT A PRICE! I'm sure many people will pre-order them no matter what the price is! Now I am worried about the edition and if I will be able to get them at all.
UPDATE 2: I just realized that Edward's hair is rooted! And not a wig! Woohoo! I find the wings hard to work with.

Well I don't know if I want to pre-order them now because I don't know the price that sucks.

I have a feeling they are seeing how many will pre-order and are basing the price on that. So, if lots of people do, they will jack up the price. I feel that since they are quite basic that they should be less than the Potter dolls. I feel $100-$120 would be a good price for these.

Yeah if they price them at $100-$120 I will get both, but if their around $200+ for one I will not get any, but if they make Alice I will get her. LOL

My guess is that they will be around $129...maybe $149 at most.
And I am not sure if they are going to be Tonner Direct exclusives or not...I have a feeling that they might be though. Howver, he usually offer discounts if you are patient. And as far as I knnow they are just taking informal surveys on whether people will be ordering, not taking official preorders...

It says on the site that they are TonnerDirect Exclusives. And I just figured that out about the pre-order survey.
I will order them if they are around $120. I would be too worried I wouldn't get one if I waited. Yule Ball Harry and Ron have been out for 3 years and they are just now going on sale.

I am glad that the pre-order is just a survey, becuase I just can't see myself ordering something that I don't know the price of. I mean I love Twilight, just not enough to pay for something I don't know the price.
