Tonner Character Figures

™ were a series of Doctor Who and Torchwood 16" - 17" tall dolls firmly aimed at the collectible market, with an average price of close to USD 200. A part of the reason for the expense was not only their dimensions, but also the unusual degree of attention taken on each doll's clothing — a particular forté of the prestigious Tonner Doll Company.

Along with each figure came an equally-collectible box. In the case of the Doctor Who figures, the box was in the regeneration colours of orange and gold, and featured Gallifreyan script and the RTD-era logo.

The Doctor Who figures were released roughly around the broadcast of The End of Time. This was somewhat odd timing for a series 3-era Martha Jones figure to make her debut. However, prototype dolls were seen as early as January 2009 at the International Dolls Expo. This means that the dolls were under development no later than 2008 — when Jones was still very much an active character.
