The 5th and final W Club doll of the 2021 membership year was revealed yesterday to members via email. As expected by many, it is a NU Face doll - the surprise is that the doll is Lilith in dark A-tone. IT designer Jessy Ayala delivered on a long awaited collector desire (twins in a dark skin tone). So here we have Lilith Blair, named as NU. Classic, with a dark skin and curly puffs, wearing a suit that looks like Chanel but is instead a Saint Laurent Fall 2021 outfit. Want to bet that one of the upgrade dolls for 2022 will be Eden in a dark skin tone and complimenting outfit as was done with Mademoiselle Lilith?

What a great way to start Black History Month! I am not a fan of the Lilith/Eden sculpt; I consider it too bland and characterless (if it was a human I’d use the word vapid) to my liking. On the other hand, artists prefer a blank canvas to create magic and sometimes a great doll can come from that - as is the case here. She looks amazing, from her make up and her hair style, to the outfit and the accessories. is the price too high? Yes it is. I cannot understand how the third club doll two months ago had two outfits and more detailed accessories (no, giving us those beautiful Amina Muaddi shoes and a Prada Cleo bag clone is not enough) plus two pairs of shoes (Lukas I’m looking at you) and retailed only $5.00 more. Supposedly the outfits are what raises the cost of a dressed doll, as Integrity Toys has repeatedly mentioned. So what gives? Inquiring minds want to know.
Also how come Lilith is described as a true New Yorker in the story blurb? The twins are Eurasians according to their storyline. Unless the meaning is that she is a true New Yorker at heart. LOL
