: Firm to produce collectible character figures in support of feature film’s November 21, 2008 release

: Hurley, NY (September 22, 2008) – Tonner Doll Company, an award-winning designer and manufacturer of high-end
: collectible dolls and figures, has been granted the license for character figures based on the much-anticipated movie from

: Summit Entertainment, TWILIGHT, which arrives in theatres nation-wide on November 21, 2008.

: Sculpted in the likenesses of the film’s lead characters - Edward Cullen (as portrayed by Robert Pattinson) and Bella Swan
: (as portrayed by Kristen Stewart), - each fully-authorized, highly-collectible TONNER CHARACTER FIGURE™ (TCF)
: will give fans the opportunity to possess their very own Edward and Bella for all eternity. TWILIGHT TONNER
: CHARACTER FIGURES™ range from 15"-17” tall with multiple articulated joints for expressive movement and
: mobility. In keeping with the fine detail and high-end quality of Tonner’s other popular product lines, they will feature
: hand-detailed face painting, rooted hair, and authentic costuming.

: Based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series, having sold more than 10 million copies domestically, Twilight has
: captured the attention of readers of all ages, via its action-packed, modern-day love story between a teenage girl and a
: “good” vampire, who must protect her from “bad” vampires while resisting his natural instincts.
: Tonner's marketing division began to take shape with its HARRY POTTER film series and is now in full swing with the
: addition of TWILIGHT. Romances are abundant in both storylines and have become much more important elements to
: this burgeoning, sought after segment of buyers. “TWILIGHT was the perfect project to help launch us further into the
: teen and adult market,” Robert Tonner, CEO and head designer of the TONNER Company says.

: “I am a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer’s work and I intend to read everything she writes,” Tonner explains. “She is
: unbelievably talented and it's an honor to be able to work on this project.”

: Tonner plans to release other characters from the film in addition to Edward and Bella. “I want to make them all,” Tonner
: admits. “I’m having such a blast reading the books and getting to know all of the characters. I’m also reviewing movie
: stills, sculpting and designing. I’m completely immersed in their world,” he says.

: TONNER CHARACTER FIGURES™ can be purchased direct via tonnercompanystore.com as well as at gift and toy
: specialty retailers nationwide, including FAO Schwarz.
