Wizard News: Harry Potter gets ready to cast a spell on doll collectors

Hurley, NY (PRWEB) October 17, 2005 -- Just in time for the launch of Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming feature film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, due in U.S. theaters November 18, 2005, the Tonner Doll Company, Inc., internationally-recognized for its life-like and truly authentic, high-end collector dolls, is primed to cast its own spell on collectors worldwide with the release of its Harry Potter Collector Dolls, featuring the much-loved characters of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"I wanted to bring something magical and a little mysterious to these dolls," notes Robert Tonner, CEO and head designer of the award-winning Tonner Doll Company. "Knowing the joy these characters have brought to so many all over the world was an inspiration. By creating the dolls in limited editions, fans will know they’ve acquired something truly unique and special."

The Harry Potter doll, the first in the series, is truly amazing. Each and every nuance and detail is captured, right down to Harry Potter's infamous lightning-shaped scar, inflicted by Lord Voldemort.

"I felt that fans would want Harry Potter to look as true to the character in the movie as possible," said Tonner. "The prototype took months to perfect - it was definitely a labor of love. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out, and I think true Harry Potter fans will share my excitement."

At 17" tall, the doll features remarkably engineered jointing with 14 points of articulation, offering the collector unlimited posing and play possibilities. Crafted of hard plastic and high-quality vinyl, with hand-painted face detail, this is a doll to be played with and enjoyed. The costuming, taken directly from movie reference, reflects Tonner’s attention to detail and use of high-quality fabrics. From the sweater Harry Potter wears at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to his flowing school robe, the authenticity is near perfect and makes this a true collector doll in every sense of the word.
