I was looking at Tonner's new and recent male sculpts and I went back to 2006. It was around the time or shortly after the appearance of the Harry Potter line that Tonner began introducing different adult males to the line. Since then we've seen new male sculpts on a regular basis. Many of them are licensed characters. Until tonight I didn't realize how many male dolls have come out of the TDC.
Just this new season alone, besides Hogyo Yoshio, whose dressed doll version was pictured in yesterday's blog post, we now have Stefan Salvatore, a dressed
character figure from the Vampire Diaries.
In The Vampire Diaries, Stefan has the ability to influence people's memories with his mind. His eyes are incredibly intense and the facial screening looks hand-painted.
(To me they're
dolls, not character figures.)

From the Harry Potter line, Professor Dumbledore with the Richard Harris (likeness) Albus Dumbledore head sculpt and Lucius Malfoy with the Jason Isaacs sculpt (likeness) are incredibly interesting sculpts and would make great basics if only the licensing would allow.

| Voldemort is not under consideration as a handsome adult male at this time. |

Let's play a game. The first person to correctly identify the
character/sculpt/name of the doll in every picture below wins. For example: if the character were Tyler Wentworth, we'd need the actual name of the doll. If the character were Ava Gardner, you would need to tell us which Ava it is. (If you find Tyler or Ava in the following list, call your eye doctor immediately.) Spelling does not count unless 99% of the letters are wrong and/or missing.
Winner gets fame and glory and the 2010 rhinestone encrusted 10th Anniversary Tyler Wentworth pin. It's really a beauty.
Please number the guesses in the same order as the pictures and submit them via email in list form. (You will find my email address on my profile page and on every Nigerian computer in the world.)
In the case of a tie, the time stamp on the submission wins. The later submission/s will get fame, no fortune.
Please don't post identifying names for these characters until the game is over. If you do post a comment and name the characters, I won't be posting your comment until Friday.
Game ends Friday at Noon EST - aka New York time.
