Is there a brown-eyed Toni? Yes indeed, there is.

It is often said that Ideal planned to make an African-American Toni, then scrapped the idea.  Whether that is true, I am not sure.  They did make some brown eyes, and used them in a very limited amount of Tonis, now considered as "rare."  I was lucky enough to obtain a mint in box example, and she proudly won some ribbons at doll conventions and is one of my favorite Tonis.

I have only seen these brown eyed tonis in the P90 walkers, whether they used them with the strung dolls, I have not seen any.

One thing to be careful of is the "turned-brown" Tonis.  Some of the eyes tend to "turn" or "change color" over time.  Blue eyes can sometimes turn to green, and sometimes you will see a Toni that has what appears to be "hazel" eyes or even brown.  The true "brown" eyed Tonis will be an unmistakable brown with no variation to the eyes such as flecks of blue or green.  The brown-eyed Tonis will have very brown eyes with no variation in the color.

Happy Doll Hunting!
