I just got a Tonnor Rapunzel doll
I know lots about Tonner. I also have this doll.
If your Princess has a braid, she is the second Tonner Rapunzel doll, and is currently available. I think MSRP was just under $200. If your Rapunzel doll has long, straight, unbraided hair, she's the first edition and a bit harder to find. Generally she's available on eBay for about the MSRP, maybe even a bit less. Tonner is one of those weird companies where it generally depends on the fandom to determine value increase/decrease. Many of the Disney Princess Tonner dolls were kind of flops and ended up being clearanced out if I'm not mistaken. (Some of them had really funny looking faces, others, like Tiana, were really beautiful IMHO.)
Tonner has had a longstanding relationship with Disney, starting with, if I'm not mistaken, a line of "its a small world" Dolls.
Frankly, I love my Rapunzel Tonner. I think she's gorgeous and I wouldn't trade/sell her for the world. I think the detail work on this doll is some of their best, and the likeness is much more accurate than many of the others they've done.

Heyyyy, yeah, Tonner's done a few other disney things. "It's a small world" was definitely one of the more recent. But if you back track a long time, he did park exclusives which are basically impossibly to find, but i'd give just about anything for them. He designed a cinderella doll in like about 8 or so years ago, and went on to do Aurora, the villains, and the basic disney princesses. The Jasmine and Ariel weren't the best, but the Belle, Tiana, and Rapunzel are amazing. Also, if any of you guys had any of the Magic Attic dolls from the nineties...he designed those too. And eventually he used those dolls as a base for his park exclusive Aurora and Cinderella.
This is wayyyy cool love all the info, Mine has the braid and I paid 149.00 for it, and her face or should I just say her eyes are wonderful she's really beautiful and I had no idea there was a first and second editions and it sounds like I need to hang on to her and I need to look up magic attic dolls because I am so curious.
Congrats, I have seen this doll and she is beautiful.
Oh yes she is!She is like my favorite possession. I wish they would make Ariel this accurately...
