$OWOO The world renowned Tonner Doll Company (Robe
Post# of 18220
Being a long term follower of The One World Doll Project I am oftentimes asked on the message boards, “What ever happened to the merger between Tonner Doll Company and The One World Doll Project? “They created the subsidiary Tonner-One World.” I reply. More often than not they reply, “But I thought the merger was canceled.” Then I link them to the Form 8-k filed February 25th, 2016 and say “Read the fine print.” This is why it pays to do your homework, folks! The filing shows that both parties would benefit more if they formed the subsidiary in preparation of a multi-year licensing deal with a major television series.
To fully understand the magnitude of this subsidiary we have to start with the basics.
What do you know about Hollywood's world renowned doll designer and artist, Robert Tonner? He is a HUGE name in both the doll and entertainment industries.
● His fashion career started in 1975 and in 1991 he formed what would be known as The Tonner Doll Company.
● In 2006 Tonner and Warner Bros teamed up to designed the “DC Stars” Collection featuring figures based on superheroes from DC Comics such as Batwoman and Harley Quinn.
● Tonner and Marvel teamed up in December of 2010 to create dolls based on Marvel super heroes, which became a big hit with collectors!
● Tonner designed special collector dolls for the films Harry Potter, Spider-Man 3, and Twilight.
Current Day[2016]: Tonner and The One World Doll Project, teaming up to form Tonner-One World! So what is it that makes The One World Doll Project such an attractive candidate to partner with a company like Tonner?
The One World Doll Project was established in 2010 by Trent T. Daniels and Stacey McBride-Irby.
