Mad Hatter doll from Tonner?
I have never seen a tonner doll but love the look of this charachter. Should I order, or go with the Medicom one? Will the tonner be better quality as it is more expensive? Does Hot Toys have this license?

I have about a dozen or so of the Tonner Dolls.
They're Very Nice for what they are, which are Porcelain Dolls.
But most of the Dolls based on Real Celebrities never really look too much like them and they tend to overproduce most regular releases too.
Wait awhile and you most always get the Doll way below Retail later.
Medicom is making the Alice Dolls.
I've never known of Hot Toys getting any of the Disney properties.

Get the HT.
I've seen Tonner dolls at a Con and they don't look good enough for the cost.
IMHO...they look like something Hasbro would make but, charge an extra $200.

I looked this up because I never knew that they were porcelain and from the pictures I have seen, certainly did not look like it. And indeed, they are vinyl/hard plastic

I own one Tonner -- Lara Croft (Previews exclusive)-- and must say that it's way overpriced for what you get.

I don't know about that?
Must be based on the Character they go with then?
My Superman & Lois Lane set are Porcelain.
My Padme Amidala is Porcelain.
My Silver Age Wonder Woman is Porcelain.
If there are Vinyl & Plastic one's, I just assumed they all were Porcelain.

at least you can cancel when they release the photos of what it's supposed to look like. right now the picture representing the figure is just a film photo. very doubtful the final product will look like a man. i'd go with the medi version.

umm yeah the toner pieces to me are horrible
 this just makes me want to carve my eyes out with a dull batarang. I would like to smack the person who thought giving a license to tonner to produce batman related ones with a rotten eel.
