As
an official 2006 sponsor of the NEW YORK CITY BALLET's production of George
Balanchine's The Nutcracker™, Robert Tonner proudly presents his
collaboration with the NYCB to bring you exquisite ballerina dolls of
exceptional design and articulated movement. Designs in this collection are
based upon and inspired by the original costumes of the NYCB production,
designed by Karinska.
The
NYCB dolls are app. 16" tall with multiple articulated joints, including
bending wrists. Dolls are sculpted with stationary 'en pointe' feet (one
style is made with standard high heel arched fashion feet) and they feature a
smaller bustline than traditional Tyler-style 16" fashion dolls.
Please note that not all Tyler-style 16" outfits will fit the
Ballet-style doll at the bustline. This bustline is also used in the
Geisha dolls and Cinderella's Wicked Stepsister, Euphemia.
