I realised that I have not talked about my Tonner dolls. I talked about getting my first Tonner doll, and I mentioned wanting to get another doll, but I have not talked about the dolls themself
The Deja Vu male viking, was the doll I feel in love with, I knew I would regret it if I did not buy him.
It was really a sepciel experience for me to open him up, I felt like I was discovering a tressure. I really enjoyed unpacking all of his accesories, I love that he came with so much.

| Deja vu, Halvar |
I know his clothing is not historical acurate, but to me it looks close enough. His clothe is so very well done and detailed. I really love his detailed tunic, and his simple but well done cloak. I allso really like his long curly hair. I really love his whole look.
His face is handpainted, his eyes are so detailed and beautifully painted. I like how detailed his facial hair is. I kind of wish he had a full beard, but I understand why they could not do that. I think he has a very nice serene expression, he looks pretty thoughtful.
Here he is with all of his accessories. His axe looks like a butterknife, I would like to try and make him a new one. His helm is very nice, I like the details. The shape of the helmet is very realistic, exept for the horns, I dont like the horns on teh helmet at all. His sheild looks absolutley awsome though, I just have trouble making him hold it.
I had high hopes that I would buy another viking doll, to keep him company. They did make two female vikings, but they were dressed up in weird female varrior outfits. I was hoping for a female doll dressed in a nice viking dress, and decked out in viking jewelry. But then the Tonner doll company announced, that they would stop making their current doll lines, so the hope for a proper female viking went out the window. I still did not want my guy to be alone, so I looked into some other Tonner Deja vu dolls that I really liked. These dolls were dressed in beautiful dresses inspired by medieval fashion. That was not a hinderence for me though, as I quickly decided that he could fit in mideval times as well. The hinderence however was that these dolls were discountiued, so I had to go to ebay and paitiently wait for a doll to show up for sale. Luckily for me the doll I wanted the most, showed up on ebay in the beginning of march. She cost mored than the guy because, she was a limited edition convention exclusive. Fortunately I had some vaccation money, so I bought the doll as a birthday gift for myself.

| Deja Vu, Lady Arabella |
I LOVE her gown, it is such a beautiful color, the material is very soft, and the design is so elegant. I could go on about the details in this dress foever. I allso love her red hair, and beautiful hairstyle. The color of her face does not match the color of her body (notabily neck and hands) which were probably why teh seller wanted to sell her, but that does not borther me much.
She allso have a beautiful handpainted face, and she has fake eyelashed. I like her slightly open mouth, I think she has alot of attitude.
Here is the couple are together. I named him Gerion, and her Lianna, they are named after charcters from the Song of Ice and fire bookseries.
Their permenet place is on a shelf in my white bookcase, but I allso took some pictures of them on my Liv doll shelf with the forrest poster background.
These dolls are really speciel to me, and I love them both. I am so happy with these two, that I kind of want another Deja vu lady Arabella. But I dont think another doll will fit on that shelf, and right now, and I really am satisfied with the two dolls I have. I am going to wait and see what happends next year, maybe I will add another Tonner doll to my collection then.
