Almost a week after the first doll reveal of 2025, we finally got the NU Face capsule collection we had been waiting for quite some time now. Unveiled during a live presentation, three brand new NU .Face dolls form the AudioVisual capsule collection, created by Integrity Toys designer Jessy Ayala. Two dolls are dealer dolls and one is for the W Club as a lottery. We get a new character (not sculpt) plus a new sculpt for the Asian twins Kumi and Yuri. Remember that these NU Fantasy twins had the same sculpt as the Blair twins, Eden and Lilith. Now they get their own distinct sculpt and enter the world of NU Face proper, as per the storyline released:
Always pushing the boundaries of innovation, the newly formed Tokyo division of the NU.Face agency just landed an incredible campaign with a top-tier Japanese electronics giant! To make it truly groundbreaking, they’ve chosen to spotlight their very first digital model—Novae, a stunning new character that’s ready to steal the show. Alongside her, the ever-mysterious twins Kumi and Yuri are back, sharing a fresh new sculpt and a subtly updated upper torso. With this powerhouse trio leading the way, the AudioVisual campaign is guaranteed to be a massive hit!

First of all the new character: using Ayumi’s 3.0 sculpt, she is a digital influencer avatar, much like many who populate social media these days. The doll looks amazing in her violet ensemble, with the tailored long coat and fancy separates, complimented by awesome accessories like those amazing boots, the quirky bag, jewellery, a mobile phone and headphones! She comes with an extra pair of flat feet legs. I think Jesse missed an opportunity here to have a more out-there make up look, since this is supposed to be a digital avatar, but she’s still beautiful. The boots are from Givenchy (the Shark Lock boots, unfortunately without a lock). The skirt and bag seem to be from Gaultier but not absolutely certain.

I must say I love the new sculpt much better than the Eden/Lilith one! The old one is very bland, almost boring, while this one looks incredible and fresh. Jesse also said that the head was made smaller than previous dolls, in order to show better with the tall, lean NU Face body. This doll looks like she jumped out of a Jean Paul Gaultier fragrance commercial, with her navy-inspired look - and you can see that sailor boy hat in the S/S 2024 Couture collection by Simon Rocha. She looks like she’s missing a jacket or coat (and for her price, it should have been included). Love her boots (to be worn with flat feet) and she has a microphone! Extra high heeled leg pair included as well. Glad I was confirmed by my dealer, it seems she sold out really fast.

The “evil” twin is the lottery doll of this capsule collection and she looks fierce! The horns are removable, so no worries about that. She reminds me of Simi from the Dark Hunters dolls that IT had released back in 2010 (that one had the Anja sculpt). Dark and goth but make it Japanese, Kumi looks gorgeous and I am definitely entering the lottery for her, so that I can match her with her twin. I love her hard rock band look and especially her grommet covered boots and amazing guitar. Hairstyle and make up are almost perfect. For the older collectors - doesn’t she remind you of Ann Wilson from Heart? She has an extra pair of flat feet legs included. Her bag reminds me of the one that Gala Glow Up Zuri has.
