Robert Tonner creates magical worlds with his dolls and tells stories of haute couture, literature, action and adventure. Not only has he created chic fashion dolls but realised meticulous sculpts of Hollywood film heroes: Scarlett O’Hara, Harry Potter, Superman, Spiderman, Laura Croft and many more iconic characters.
