Tonner Announces Plans to Make Narnia Character Figures

Narnia's Pevensie Heroes Leap from the Silver Screen. The Tonner Doll Company announces plans to produce TONNER CHARACTER FIGURES based on Susan, Edmund, Peter and Lucy from The Chronicles of Narnia.

Hurley, NY (PRWEB) February 18, 2008 -- Walt Disney Pictures' epic film, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, based on C.S. Lewis' timeless tale, comes to life through Robert Tonner's collection of TONNER CHARACTER FIGURES™ (TCF).

The life-like figures are authorized portraits of William Moseley in the role of Peter Pevensie; Anna Popplewell in the role of Susan Pevensie; Skandar Keynes in the role of Edmund Pevensie; and Georgie Henley in the role of Lucy Pevensie.

Robert Tonner, CEO and head designer of the award-winning Tonner Company, is thrilled to re-create the magic and mystery of Narnia through his figures. "I was intrigued when I heard about the movie. When I saw it, I was convinced that I had to do it."

This project has been one of the most painstaking endeavors for Tonner. "So much of each character is in the presentation that we didn't want to overlook a single detail," Tonner admits. "We drew on our strengths to accurately depict those critical elements."

Ranging from 13"-19" tall, each perfectly replicated Pevensie sibling comes authentically dressed. The intricate costume details range from to real buttons and lace-up shoes to custom knit sweaters. The kings and queens of Narnia also have separate coronation costumes available which include fine details such as intricately molded crowns, hand-embroidery details and luxurious fabrics.

These wardrobe adventurers are perfectly scaled and composed of fine quality hard-plastic and vinyl. Each TONNER CHARACTER FIGURE™ features hand-painted face details and 14-points of articulation for the most realistic poses.
