Hi Daphne,
Poor Mimzy is still delayed. We do not have a TBA on her yet. Sorry.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
So in other words she won't be here before the end of the month as last expected?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi Daphne,
That is correct. We have no news on them yet. We stopped estimating dates until we know for sure.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If any of you who ordered from me are tired of waiting and would like a refund I will gladly give you one along with my complete understanding!
Daphne
Many of you ordered an autographed Collectible Mimzy from me earlier this year and I wanted to give you an update on her where-abouts as many are asking.
As you know, Tonner Doll is making them. Unfortunately, they did not have them done when they said they would which I'm told is pretty normal for Tonner. (Frustrating for the rest of us, however!)
I am told now that they will be released "Late Summer".......
I'm just the messenger....... other than giving them my pattern and some suggestions for sources for materials I have nothing to do with Tonner's production of Mimzy.
I will post here whenever she finally arrives and you can be sure I'll get them autographed and sent out within 48 hours of my getting them!
Thank you for not shooting me and for having patience! 
If you have any concerns about the delay please sumbit them here: http://www.tonnerdoll.com/contactus.htm
Oh - if you need a Mimzy "fix"... the DVD is being released in the US on July 10th! 
Wild Thyme OriginalsOh - if you need a Mimzy "fix"... the DVD is being released in the US on July 10th! :lol:
Oh... I saw "Mimzy" posted up on the "Comming Soon" board at out video store! I am so excited... the little ones are too!!! :dance:
Ben took "my" little Mimzy that came with the Emma doll to Pre-School for show and tell! A few of the kids had already seen the movie and were convinced that she might be the "real Mimzy!" I was there to pick him up when he was giving his little show and tell speech. You know what he said about you Daphne? He said, "My Mommy's friend Daphne made the real bunny that was in the movie." That was perfect... then he said.....
"She's not the Daphne from Scoobie Doo. Her name is Daphne Blue and she lives in the Internet!" :doh: :crackup:

I feel like that's exactly where I live some days!!!!
Too funny! And how sweet!!!!
Give that boy a great big hug for me!
And he's right..... "Blau" is German for Blue! My neighbor's little boy calls me "Mrs. Blue"!
Oooohhh!!!! I can't wait for the DVD - I'm really looking forward to seeing it again.

When I read this post this morning, I was eating my breakfast, and had a mouth full of grapes...almost had to clean grape juice off my screen!!! That is just the best "out of the mouths of babes" I have heard in a long time. Can you imagine the generation of wonderful childern being raise now days who think their mama has "imaginary friends" who live in the internet...
PS Daphne Blue :hug: :hug: :hug: I am waiting for the video...can't wait...

Delartful BearsOh Daphne, this is just terrible. You would think that Tonner would want to get their act together for THEIR sake. The long the movie has been seen and is out - you would think the less people would be interested. But, I guess that is their problem in the long run.
You must have the patience of a saint my dear LOL
Oh Kim - you son sounds just perfect in every way - isn't that just adorable?!?!?!?
Danni
I have a friend who collects dolls - and Tonner is among them.
This is NOTHING NEW for Tonner - and I think it is shameful that this happens all the time with them :redface:
But I still want MY Mimzy signed by the original Bunny Maker!!!! Even if it's next year
Past Time BearsYep, I ditto Laura!
Back Road BearsThank you, ladies. :hug:
Some have cancelled and that's OK too...... I don't blame them one bit.
MerBear OriginalsI FINALLY got to watch the movie. I rented the dvd and spent Sat afternoon enjoying it - while sewing a bear of course. It was a nice little movie and made much more enjoyable knowing the person who made the Mimzy!
Marion
I watched Mimzy with my granddaughter on Sat night and we both really enjoyed it. My hubby liked it as well and he is more of the slice 'em dice 'em type!!!
