The Integrity Toys 2025 Online Event: Le Cirque Cabaret - The Specialty Tents

Moving towards the end of the Integrity Toys 2025 Online Event, Le Cirque Cabaret, we had another workshop, this time with the awesome and talented Jason Kramer, who showed us how to make a fantasy cape in two different sizes - W Club members have gotten the patterns for this already. Alain Trembley also showed us how the Clairvoyante booth was made and how to make our own - again, we got the pattern for that as club members. But he did not just do that - he unveiled a doll he designed for the event and presented it to us, with Jason helping along - and it is probably the best doll of the event. Later on, we had a Q&A with the Integrity Toys design team, coordinated by Carol Roth of W Club. We got a change to see the designers in residence, Pamela Thompson and Anj Calvo, along with the known named of the team, Alain, David, Jessy and Chris. They answered to all sorts of questions from club members (that had been sent in advance before the day of the event) and some questions from people watching the live session. After that, we got to see the final presentation of the day, which included two dolls. And just like that, it was time for the event to end. Overall impressions: coherent, fun, well set up and thought out. My only major gripe with it was the use of AI to make animated videos for the presentations. It marred an otherwise outstanding online event, which should be the guide for any future one like it. If you do not know why using AI is bad - for the environment, for creatives and for your wallet - please go to any search engine and educate yourself. It is not the scope of this website to do it.

• 12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair, and removable metal septum moustache (each side is separate piece that can be inserted or removed from nose)- see video for figure without moustache;

• Look comprised of a black parade-inspired jacket with golden embroidery and matching slim fit pants with matching parade accoutrement details;

• Sleeveless mesh bodysuit;

• Faux-feather capelet;

• Removable black belt with golden studs;

• "Leather" chest harness;

• "Leather" wrist straps;

• "Leather" bicep straps;

• Certificate of authenticity.

• Bonus accessory - "Le Phoenix" Rashad Roussi figure includes an exclusive ticket booth diorama (minor assembly required)

Wow! Again, this is for me the best doll of the event. Rashad, who used to be Kyle Spencer (Evan Peters) from the AHS Coven collection, before becoming a Monarch as Rashad. In just his second appearance as this character, he knocks it out of the park - or better, Alain Trembley does, who designed this doll and just became the MVP of the event. Apart from being a gorgeous hunk of a doll (fake septum moustache notwithstanding), he’s dressed in an outfit that gives at least four options: 1) full outfit on (jacket, pants, boots, fur capelet etc.): a modern version of a hussar - the jacket is a minimal version of the dolman the hussards wore, and the capelet is the pelisse. I have been waiting for a great jacket like this (that does not look cartoon-y like Riot from Jem) forever and still need a military hat for it, 2) fur capelet over mesh shirt and pants - your average fantasy firebreather, 3) jacket over mesh shirt (or any other shirt) - a military look man and 4) mesh shirt with harness and leather straps, your average gay biker - see Pillion for details. It’s quite a coincidence I had already watched that film earlier in the day at our TIFF - then out comes this guy and boom! Alain, you’re a genius! His boots and pants are also awesome and I love how it seems they solved the pleather issue by using something that looks like it but is actually a treated fabric. The only thing marring a bit the overall look (again, apart from the fake septum moustache) is the shape of the fire on the sticks - sorry but that does not look like fire at all. Put it in a tall beer glass (like the ones used for weissbeer) and be done with it. He comes with a ticket booth (same style as Rayna’s booth) which is nice. A must for pre-order.

See Rashad in all his glory - and without the fake septum moustache, in the video below

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-Applied

MSRP: $199 + S & H - Special W Club Price: $175 + S & H

Tariff Surcharge: $10

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP. RTB winners will pay $175.00 + S, H, taxes & any tariff surcharge in full once the items arrive approximately within the next few weeks or so.

Included:

• 12-inch articulated doll with brand new screening, rooted hair in a ponytail and hand applied eyelashes;

• High-flying look comprised of a vintage style pink tutu with a silver star-embroidered bodice, beaded floral waist decoration and voluminous silver-dotted pink tulle on the skirt;

• Silver-dotted pink tulle neck ruffle with ribbon detail;

• Matching silver-dotted pink tulle wrist cuffs;

• Pink panty;

• "Silver" star earrings;

What a lovely Poppy! She looks like what Mattel could have done with the Glinda doll if they had sculpted Ariana Grande without that silly expression. She comes with a new screening, which suits her best and the hairstyle is almost like the classic Barbie ponytail. Her shoes have that heel-less sole instead of a heel, to mimic pointe shoes. Which we have seen from Saint Laurent back in 2017. The dress is cute and nicely embroidered, and she comes with a nice acrobat stand to perch on. Cannot help myself thinking about this gorgeous Bob Mackie Barbie. I might have entered the lottery for her but too many things are adding up and the budget is limited.

Agnes closed off the event’s festivities, as is rightfully her role as an event designated doll. This colour is becoming a signature for her, as we have previously seen her in Truly, Madly, Deeply and Sensational Soirée Her hairstyle and hair colour remind me of High Visibility Agnes. I love her make up, it’s not often we see this chartreuse green used on eyes - and it goes well with those pale lips. The gown is lifted from this Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall 2024 one, adapted for doll size of course, and with the long train echoing the snakes she’s charming. I might try to add the snake necklace from Red Blooded Woman Kyori Sato if i get her. She kind of looks like a Roman era noble woman in the photo showing her from the back. Her accessories are all amazing. And she’s made to order.

Check her out in this rotating video:

The W Club 2025 registration period has begun! And it celebrates its 20th anniversary!

The W Club registration period for 2025 has just begun - and this year it celebrates its 20th anniversary since it begun back in 2006. I joined in 2007, so my 20th will be next year! If I remember correctly, the first W Club exclusive were Agnes Von Weiss Dressing The Part and Veronique Perrin Stylish Escape. The W Club is the one and only Official Collectors' Club for Integrity Toys, covering all their brands including Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face, NU. Fantasy, East 59th, The Monarchs: Homme, Meteor, Tulabelle True & Co. and more. Registration is only open once a year, so make sure to register by 9 PM ET on Wednesday, March 19th, if you want to be a part of it. A base membership (one time $50 fee) covers all of these perks and more for the 2025 membership year. You can watch the registration video or contact the club if you have any questions.

In addition to the first-to-know information, members-only forum, online chats, priority customer service and special events, W Club members will receive the following opportunities:

• Five additional W Club exclusive made-to-order dolls guaranteed throughout the year (we cannot guarantee which lines they will be from or how many from which line, but we are currently expecting that these will come from Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty, NU. Face and/or NU. Fantasy during 2025).

• Special pricing for most* IT Direct releases that are also made available to the public.

• Priority access for online and in-person events, if any**.

*THIS IS FOR MOST, NOT ALL of the items. There may be some items excepted, including but not limited to collaboration projects or sales outside of Integrity’s control, such as through dealers.

**If there are any limited attendance events, priority access does not guarantee every W Club member a spot. Some spots may be held for the public or other purposes. Access to any online events does not guarantee access to event-specific products offered.

More details are available in the FAQs (click here to read). The detail purchasing instructions for buying the membership and the registration dolls are here. The big news were that:

1. No in-person convention for 2025 but an online one, available to all club members.

2. A Jason Wu doll for the 20th anniversary of the club (outside the 5 club dolls)

3. Maybe a small scale event similar to Curated but not confirmed.

4. A lot of teasing about some out of the box releases.

Lilith, Agnes and Poppy are each $175 above the cost of the $50 base membership.So that is $10.00 more than last year for FR and NU Face and $15.00 more for Poppy Parker. Last year the prices were up to only $5.00 per doll. And with the current tariff situation unfolding, it’s going to get worse. A $30 deposit per doll is payable when registering and the $145 balance is due (plus shipping/fees/taxes) upon shipment, currently expected to be Fall 2025, but may happen earlier or later than projected. Let’s check out the dolls on offer.

Lustre

Lilith Blair™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face™ Collection

2025 W Club Registration Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Price: $ 175+ Shipping - This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $145+ shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2025.

Head Sculpt: Lilith/Eden

Body Type: NF 3.5 (Updated Upper Torso)

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Chocolate

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

Lilith knew that her good friend and fellow NU. Face model Giselle’s older sister, the Baroness Agnes von Weiss, was pouring millions of dollars into a new lifestyle venture. Agnes had immensely wealthy backers and a lot of promotional work was to be had for the new “AvW” brand. Always savvy, Lilith positioned herself to be part of the social and print media launches. Agnes thought the idea was brilliant and wanted both Lilith and her twin sister Eden to work in tandem.

Despite prodding from her sister, Eden pushed back. Eden was very loyal to W Cosmetics and the Perrins and thought there might be a conflict in working so closely with Agnes. This was creating some issues between the sisters, which was only heightened when Agnes secured Lilith an invitation to the 20th Anniversary Gala, but not one for Eden.

The night of the event, Agnes picked Lilith up in her chauffeured platinum Bentley, where they discussed some key networking tactics for the event as Lilith primped her look. Lilith went to grab her favorite W Cosmetics lip gloss and stopped herself. The gloss was too good to give up, but Lilith didn't even want to imagine the wrath that would come her way if Agnes saw her use anything with her biggest rival's logo on it. Her contract would surely be torn up on the spot, at a minimum!

Upon arrival at the Gala, Agnes realized they hadn’t received all-access “VIP” level entrance.

Making sure to be indispensable to Agnes, Lilith created a diversion by getting her dress caught in the Bentley’s door, screaming and attracting paparazzi and then turning in the perfect way to model the gown for the photos…

“It’s an AvW original, launching soon” Lilith said to each reporter and photographer who snapped her orchestrated picture, turning “in distress” into “check out this dress!”

Lilith watched Agnes sneak into the VIP lounge and gave a wry smile to the cameras, pleased with her work. Her sister would never…

Includes:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes;

• Stunning strapless short antique gold gown with dramatic side train;

• Golden "leather" ankle strap pumps;

• Seamed pantyhose;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala invitation;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala attendee swag bag, which includes a miniature reproduction of an original Fashion Royalty dealer catalog from 2002;

• Doll-sized W Cosmetics branded lip gloss;

• Ornate black and purple clutch purse;

• Drop earrings with cameo detail;

• Metal feather-inspired bracelet;

• Oversized square ring;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

I admit I was a bit disappointed seeing Lilith as an upgrade doll again. I was expecting either a real surprise like Takeo returning, or at least Dominique or Annik. But I guess IT wants a very surefire doll sculpt to entice more collectors to join, and the Blair twins are very popular. Also, what is it with no dark skinned or Asian dolls (yes I know Rayna is from the Middle East but she is Caucasian-passing) not appearing as upgrades two years in a row? IT is a black owned company that was created to offer a diversity of dolls for a neglected part of the doll market - it does not show here.

Even though this is not a favourite sculpt of mine (and I know I am in the minority here), this particular doll ticks a lot of boxes for me. I like her hairstyle and make up, I like her dress and accessories and the overall look is quite impressive, as a club doll should be. So I might probably end up getting her along with my membership.Her dress reminds me of Laquan Smith dresses like this one.Below is a closer look at her gala related accessories (the story-line continues from the last W Club doll for 2024).

There is a video showing the doll rotating, watch below:

Baroness Agnes Von Weiss® Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

2025 W Club Registration Exclusive Doll

Edition Size: TBD

Price: $175 + Shipping - This doll will have a $30 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with $145 + shipping balance due at shipping time, approximately in Fall 2025.

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled & Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Pale Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

The Story:

The Baroness herself, Agnes Von Weiss, had been plotting her comeback for several years—an eponymous lifestyle brand that ventured into every territory imaginable, including fashion, cosmetics, accessories and other lifestyle wares. She had decided that the Blair twins would be the perfect influencers to help launch the brand across social and print media, and while Lilith Blair had jumped on the opportunity, her sister Eden was being difficult to nail down.

Critical to getting the right press for the launch was appearing at the industry event known to insiders as the “Anniversary Gala”. With it being the 20th anniversary, invitations were more coveted than ever, and Agnes spent hefty sums with PR agents and gift baskets making sure to secure her limited invite. Agnes was thrilled that she was able to secure invitations for her and Lilith, and decided it would be a perfect opportunity for them to both dress in preview pieces from the fashion part of the collection, now going under the “AvW” brand.

In addition to working on her launch, Agnes was also trying to distract her competition. She was sabotaging launch events by stealing booked space, offering a higher price, double-booking noted fashion photgraphers and even catfishing key players at rival brands, including Vanessa Perrin, to whom she had sent everything from love poems in French to bouquets of flowers.

Agnes was very pleased with her work until she and Lilith arrived at the event in her chauffeured Bentley. After emerging from the car to paparazzi clicks, she noticed two lines—one for guests and one for VIPs…

“Lilith, dear, does your invitation say ‘VIP” on it?” Agnes inquired.

Lilith shook her head "no".

“I am going to need you to create a diversion,” Agnes directed.

Lilith got the train of her gown intentionally stuck in the Bentley’s door, calling for help and distracting everyone. This created just the diversion needed for Agnes to slip past security and sneak directly into the VIP champagne tasting area.

While several of the event organizers knew Agnes had not been invited to the champagne lounge, nobody dared approach her, worried that she would cause a commotion.

However, the calm did not last. When Agnes spotted Adèle Makéda in a small group toasting, she sauntered right up to her and tapped her shoulder. Adèle turned around and in shock, dropped her champagne, with the liquid spraying down the front of Agnes’s gown…

Includes:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with long rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes;

• Beautiful strapless gown with black trimmed bodice attached to a voluminous magenta skirt with removable floral appliqué belt;

• Strappy stilettos with hot pink flower detail;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala invitation;

• Doll-sized 20th Anniversary Gala attendee swag bag, which includes a miniature reproduction of an original Fashion Royalty dealer catalog from 2002;

• Magenta handbag with "gold" chain and filigree detail;

• Newly developed champagne flute with interchangeable tilted and non-tilted pink "liquid" effect inserts (for more realistic closeup photography);

• Dramatic drop earrings;

• Ring;

• Beaded bracelet;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Agnes is a fitting 20th anniversary club registration exclusive for FR (see the beginning of this post), but so would have been Veronique, which was the expectation from a large number of collectors. An equally large number were expecting a doll that has a long time to appear for the club, either Natalia or one of the older Homme guys - Pierre, Francisco or even Takeo Mizutani. Nevertheless, here she is in a big Barbie styled and coloured gown that is not very Agnes at all. I understand we already got many mermaid shaped dresses recently, but there are other shapes to an evening dress (and plenty of couture houses to copy, ehm, sorry, reference). The stretchy lace that makes up the finishing of the bustier top and its removable belt do not help the least. Her face is gorgeous, with the Ocean Drive screening (which can be retired now, please) and her luscious hair bring to mind Optic Verve Agnes but also Optic Clash Dania Zarr.

Her accessories are very nice, the gorgeous retro-styled bag, the rose adorned shoes, the jewellery suite and the gala extras. Although these are a bit lacking compared to Lilith or Adele - one champagne glass only (with two options for its content, tilted and level - the tilt looks hyperbolic in the photos, only close to the mouth the liquid might get this angle) and no cosmetics item - she could have had something from her own new brand to showcase at the event. I am on the verge of ordering her as well but not certain and that says something.

The Story:

As Poppy Parker was on the way to the movie premiere event for "Pinkie", she closed her eyes and daydreamed. What luck that while taking her precious pet Pinkie Parker to the salon for her very first "pawdicure", she happened to run into Jack Jeffries, the biggest movie magnate in all of Hollywood! Jack had been wanting to work with Poppy and was so smitten with Pinkie, he offered them both a movie deal on the spot, with Pinkie getting the title role! When Poppy finally arrived at the premiere and stepped onto the red carpet, she couldn't help but giggle as swarms of fans clamored not just for hers, but for Pinkie's "pawtograph", too!

Includes:

• 12-inch articulated doll with long rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Glamorous metallic pink floral brocade column dress with cut-outs and bow detail at waist;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Ever since Ciao Poppy! (a very limited Italian convention release) and even more Pink Lemonade (the most ordered Poppy ever), IT has been trying to recreate the moment and make pink-haired Poppy dolls a regular theme. The obvious Barbie parallels are too much to ignore though and, despite being inspired by one of the extravagant looks of Shirley MacLaine in What A Way To Go, she looks bored and tired. If she had the original look from the film it would have looked so much better - IT needs to secure the license to do the full round of costumes from that film, it is a tour-de-force by Edith Head. The hairstyle couls have either been more like the one Shirley has with the look in the film or at least reference Mayhem In Monte Carlo Poppy. Or make something new and similar to this fantasy hair interpretation. She has a new screening, which David Buttry said was inspired by elements he liked from other Poppy screenings. I am not fond of it in this iteration, will wait to see how it looks in different colours and another doll. The hair is the same as Commanding Attention Poppy. The fabric of the dress has been seen before, in a different colour, on the Scope Out outfit from last year’s convention Style Lab Rayna (no.7). Not crazy about it.

She comes with the flat dog she has been with before, this time in pink, as supposedly the dog is the star who’s attending the premiere of its film. We have seen the stole before but not in this colour and she is lacking the then ubiquitous opera length gloves, which would make the whole look much more 60s adjacent. The rest of the accessories are typical Poppy ones. The dog gets a carry-all bag made of carton, which looks like a milk carton with a flat dog inside.

Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilletos Out day 3: The W Club Luncheon

The first W Club luncheon in five years took place on Saturday, the last day of the convention. Attendees were told they arrived in "Egypt" for the luncheon, and discovered that "Oasis" Agnes Von Weiss was the centerpiece doll, designed by Jessy Ayala. And by the end, they were given "Mirage" Giselle Diefendorf as the giveaway doll, also designed by Jessy Ayala, which when combined with "Oasis" forms a fabulous two-doll gift set. Of course the dolls were not there, people could only see photos on the screen or as a cut out on their tables. The prototypes were displayed for people to see and photograph at the designated area. Carol Roth hosted the classic Q & A with the Integrity Toys Design Team, where many W Club member's questions were answered. Club members not attending had the chance to watch this session on video, which was great. Needless to say, the elephant in the room never got addressed.

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 550

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Soft Ebony

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

An ancient Egyptian inspired Agnes? Yes please! The colours of the doll and outfit are a great match and the overall design is very regal - as it befits her. I am not crazy about her shoes - I’d rather have her wearing some gold sandals. I also would have preferred that her jewellery stones matched more the ones she has on her bustier, as that light blue one is kind of washed out compared to the rest. The bag is, appropriately, the Chanel Métiers d’Art Scarab clutch. The outfit looks a lot like stuff I was designing in the 90s, after I finished my fashion design and pattern making studies, as I was always inspired by the ancient Egyptian civilization.

Item # 82177

Giselle Diefendorf™ Giveaway Doll

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Giselle

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled And Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Chocolate

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Giselle could not not follow her big sister’s inspiration and take ancient Egyptian elements into account for her outfit, in a more youthful way of course. Contrary to Agnes though, the jewellery is not very Egyptian-like. I love the dress (which has the same décolleté embellishment as her sister’s), but the colour of the boots throws me off. Love the azure nail colour too! Would have preferred a shorter hair length, to be a little more ancient Egypt-like. Again the bag is a Chanel Métiers d'Art one, this time the Cheops bag. YSL had also made a pyramid bag.

Fashion Royalty Moments mini collection - did we really need this?

We already knew since the beginning of this club year that a major part of the releases in 2023 would be “Moments”, i.e. repeated versions in alternate colours of previous dolls from Jessy Ayala. Fashion Royalty now has three new dolls for the Moments Collection, designed by him. They are all available through W Club-only "right-to-buy" lotteries and each has an edition of 1,200 dolls. I think the Moments idea was interesting but that it had to expand throughout the IT history and not only on Jessy’s dolls. There are so many incredible dolls that deserved a second appearance in a recoloured version and we are not getting that, having instead dolls that their original versions are only a few years old.

The Story:

Parisian socialite Véronique Perrin puts a fashionable, retro-inspired twist on one of her personal favorite couture ensembles, immediately creating an instant style "moment" that is sure to lock her place on every "best-dressed" list again this year!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Ultra-luxurious, perfectly coordinated two-piece tweed suit with fringe trim;

• Delicate chiffon top with dramatic, oversized bow necktie detail;

• Perfectly scaled, quilted purse with golden chain strap;

• Brown heels featuring straps with contrasting golden trim;

• Oversized sunglasses;

• Earrings and ring;

• Pair of hands with long manicured nails;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Alternate pair of gloved hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This doll is a re-imagining of the Little Day Ensemble Veronique from the 2020 Maison FR Collection - but not just that. The choice of fabric and colours (both doll and ensemble) give the doll a very Stylish Escape vibe - a W Club doll from 2006 (800 edition). Nice but I already have the original Stylish Escape suit, so it is more than enough for my collection. Would love to have this bag though, it is gorgeous.

MSRP: $165 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $150 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

Always the embodiment of glamour and style, Adèle Makéda has to make a quick appearance in Miami and has decided to pay homage to her friend Kesenia Valentinova! The crowd gasps when they see her arrive in all her pink glam gorgeousness, creating a fashion "moment" of her own!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Glamorous pink statement dress with strap, buckle and button details;

• Chandelier earrings with coin dangles;

• Open cuff bracelet;

• Filigree ring;

• Matching pink clutch with "silver" buckle and stud detail;

• Strappy pink high heels;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of "grip" hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Another iteration of the Glam aesthetic, this Adele is a direct recolouring of Miami Glam Kesenia Valentinova from 2020 online convention, who was a re-imagining of Glow Vanessa Perrin from 2006m who was inspired by the Versace Barbie of 2004. The doll looks gorgeous and reminds me of two previous versions of her: Le Smoking from the Gloss convention (2014) and Petite Robe Classique from the 2020 online event. The dress was not a favourite in its first iteration on Kesenia, it remains so this time, with the added problem that it looks very transparent. I might have entered for this doll but January means two pre-orders arriving, so I will skip. Best doll of the three in my opinion. They gave a warning about her hair colour in the email:

IMPORTANT NOTE: The hair color on this doll is a shade of espresso brown in person (slightly lighter than shown in the product pictures). Please take note that this doll does not have black hair. Please refer to the "in-person" video as it is more reflective of the correct shade for this doll's hair;

W CLUB ONLY IT DIRECT RIGHT-TO-BUY LOTTERY

Head Sculpt: Agnes

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

MSRP: $185 + S & H

Special W Club RTB Winner Price: $170 + S & H

Sales method: This is being sold to W Club members via a W Club right-to-buy lottery offer. Should any product remain after fully placing the lottery, it would then be made available to the public and for purchasing extras at the MSRP.

The Story:

At this point, there's no one left for Baroness Agnes Von Weiss to upstage and outshine... Other than herself! And what better way to become the talk of the night than to show up to the same fabulous soirée four years later in an unexpected color variation version of her most sensational look!

Included:

• 12.5-inch articulated doll with rooted hair and hand-applied eyelashes;

• Sexy, strapless chartreuse form-fitted dress with side-ruched detail;

• Pink faux fur stole;

• Golden, patterned clutch purse;

• Removable fox brooch;

• Chartreuse hat with feather and "pearl" accents;

• Layered "jeweled" necklace;

• Matching "pearl" and "jewel" earrings and bracelet;

• Pair of painted gloved hands with pink satin opera-length arm covers;

• Pair of long-manicured hands;

• Alternate pair of grip hands;

• Doll stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

We have seen Agnes sport chartreuse before: Truly, Madly, Deeply was the event doll at the 2012 collection presentation. She even had a hairstyle quite similar to this. Of course she is the recoloured version of Intimate Soirée from the 2020 online convention. She looks gorgeous and the colouring suits her a lot. But, as I already have Truly, Madly, Deeply as well as the 2014 event doll High Visibility, who has similar colouring (red hair and lips), I think I’m covered. Love the fox brooch. And I remembered that her dress reminds me of Cosmetic Takeover Natalia.

So, are you entering for any of these three ladies? You can also check the video showing them rotating - and wonder why did Adele get short-shifted and has what clearly is a bad, homemade video, instead of the glammed up one the other two dolls have.

W Club 2022 registration is now open!

Yes, it is this time of the year - the W Club registration period for 2022 is open! You can register from today up until March the 16th. I have the link below, as well as more information about the club and of course the upgrade dolls. A crucial reminder: registration is only open once a year, so make sure to register by 5 PM ET on Wednesday, March 16th, otherwise you will have to wait another year to become a member.

Click here to register for the 2022 W Club.

So what do you get for being a W Club member? In addition to the first-to-know information, members-only forum, online chats, priority customer service and special events, W Club members will receive the following opportunities:

• 5 additional W Club exclusive made-to-order dolls guaranteed throughout the year (we cannot guarantee which lines or how many from which line the dolls will come from, but we are currently expecting that these will come from the Poppy Parker, Fashion Royalty OR NU. Face and Monarch Hommes brands).

• Priority registration to events, if any (subject to change, there is not expected to be any in-person events for 2022 only. There will be an online event structured differently than past online conventions. It is planned be open to all W Club members with some items made to order and some available through methods like lotteries).

• Instead of the discount coupon, this year there will be special pricing for most* IT Direct releases that are also made available to the public. *THIS IS FOR MOST, NOT ALL of the items. There may be some items excepted, including but not limited to collaboration projects or sales outside of Integrity’s control, such as through dealers.

• Note that there is also only one final/new JEM AND THE HOLOGRAMS collectible expected to be released.

More details are available in the FAQs (click here to read) and you can watch the video of the unveil here.

And what about the upgrade dolls? This is only available when you buy your memberships and these dolls are of course made-to-order for registered members. For each membership, you can add Eden, Agnes and/or Poppy (up to one of each per membership you buy). If you want to buy more than one character, or have questions on how to do this in the shopping cart, click here for more instructions.

Each doll is $160 above the cost of your $50 base membership. $30 is payable today and $130 balance is due (plus shipping/fees/taxes) upon shipment, expected to be Fall 2022. I do not know if these prices are with the special discount for W Club members that we will be getting for many dolls this year instead of the coupon or these are regular prices (my money is on the discount and that the regular price will be $175). They also mentioned the effort to have lower shipping costs from USPS and that they get lower prices from them as a company - which is not true, as I had people ship me dolls from the US and pay the same price as Integrity charges. I am thinking of using an alternate way to ship dolls from now on, will try it as soon as possible and let you know how it goes. Let’s see the dolls now!

Most of us had predicted that the NU Face upgrade doll this year would be Eden as a complimentary doll to her NU Classic twin, Lilith, and here she is. Just like the Mademoiselle Eden and Lilith dolls. She has a very different style to that of her sister: she is the downtown to Lilith’s uptown girl. A common thread would be the lovely colours of all the different elements of the outfit and the same shape glasses. The only way to make this one better would have been to have her in an afro - the middle part is beginning to look tired already. The top reminds me a lot of the convention Vanessa one and it is probably this one by Alexander McQueen. The bag and shoes are Versace (La Medusa small handbag and La Medusa Charm mules). Put her in the cart I say.

I must say that if there was another character instead of Agnes (and of course not Elyse or Eugenia yet again) I would have been a bit happier. Agnes is popular and is a favourite of mine, but there is no shortage of her ever, while some other ladies have been missing in action (Kyori, where art thou?). The doll is very beautiful and reads like a lighter version of Miami Agnes, but the dress frankly looks like a mess to me. When you do a feather and crystals covered piece of clothing in this scale, making it very tailored with cut outs and stuff is overkill. Since it was 60s inspired as Jessy informed us on the video, the dress could have been an A-line shift that would have quite a stronger impact with the feathers and the embroidery. The hair style is so Poppy Parker (The Happening for example). And one last thing: why are US people pronouncing Weiss like whiss instead of the proper (German) way which is vaiss?

I think this is the first Poppy that makes evident the fact that she is Tullabelle’s grandmother - I can so imagine the latter wearing this outfit. The 70s vibe is strong with this one. They mentioned on the presentation that, while the Palm Springs collection is still forthcoming, there will be Poppy dolls that are not part of it - this is one of them. Of course the hime haircut, while originating in the Heian period Imperial court of Japan, was popular during the 70s in Japan because of a pop idol adopting it. Cher also had it in the early 70s (at least five photos here and a gorgeous one here), while W Club event Ayumi had it in 2020. Gorgeous doll and outfit. David posted some photos on his instagram account with inspiration for her.

So, are you going to join the 2022 W Club? - You can do so here.
