Description: This is Tonner's 16" Mei Li doll, part of the Tyler Wentworth series, the flagship 16"/40cm/1/4 doll which ran until Tonner closed in 2018. Tonner was known for designing high quality vinyl dolls, with a painstaking eye for detail. Tyler and her cohorts set the standard for other 16" fashion dolls, with articulated elbows and knees and a wardrobe full of luxury fabrics such as silk, linen and cashmere. The Tyler series included other characters such as Mei, Sydney and Esme, and they all share the same body. Other 16" doll outfits such as those by the Franklin Mint, All About Eve, or Madame Alexander's Alex should also fit her body sculpt. This is the "Embassy Dinner" Mei Li doll, released in 2002 as a limited edition of 2000 pieces. It features Mei Li in a brilliant green and gold brocade peekaboo back dress accessorized with a rhinestone studded belt, beaded necklace, and simple black shoes. She has a very stylish and timeless straight black bob and an elegant face makeup suitable for any occasion. This doll was purchased at a doll convention where Robert Tonner was present exhibiting, and so was signed by him with a permanent marker pen on her lower back (see pictures). If you buy this item with any other in my shop I will be happy to combine your order to help you save on shipping.
