Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: Welcome Dinner

The Welcome Dinner takes place at the end of the first convention day and, of course, has some more dolly goodies for attendees. "Monegasque Society" Eugenia Perrin-Frost as Monica Frost, designed by Alain Tremblay, would have been the centerpiece doll, if the dolls were actually there. Instead people saw her photo as a pop-up cutout on tables. The secret mystery bonus "Build-an-Accessory" from the NU. Face Seven Style Lab that holds a clue to the convention's story line was revealed. Before the night ended, attendees found out about the next accessory set for Donna Drake's "Cryptic Cases" gift set designed by Alain Tremblay, and also discovered that "Eye Candy" Victoire Roux was their giveaway doll, designed by Chris Stoeckel. Let’s check them out.

Item # 91565

Monegasque Society

Eugenia Perrin-Frost® as Monica Frost™ Centerpiece Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 550

Head Sculpt: Eugenia

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Deep Red

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Alain Tremblay

This Eugenia is one of the most beautiful dolls of the convention. She reminds me a lot of another Eugenia convention doll, Bittersweet from 2013. And I have the same problem with this one that I had with Bittersweet: the lipstick that does not vibe with me at all. A more natural lip would have looked much better, and kept the style as is. In any case, she is a gorgeous doll. I love the dress (finally velvet!) and the shoes are magnificent with that decorative detail. The character she’s supposed to be is her mother or mother in law.

Item # 73067

Eye Candy

Victoire Roux® Giveaway Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Victoire 2.0/Della

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Platinum Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

I don’t know about you, but I definitely did not have Victoire as a showgirl in my bingo card for the convention! The doll herself is gorgeous, but the outfit is missing a material intrinsic to showgirl costumes everywhere: feathers, plumes! It looks almost half finished without them. Pity, as the doll is so beautiful. The impression is similar to the classic Bird Of Paradise Gene Marshall doll from 1997.

Item # 75033A

Cryptic Cases

Gift Set Accessory Set A

The NU. Fantasy™ Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Edition Size: 600

Accessory pack designed to go into the Imogen Lennox as Donna Drake "Cryptic Cases" Welcome Doll Gift Set.

Designed to fit NF 3.0 and similar 12-inch/1:6 scale fashion dolls.

Designed By Alain Tremblay

A very DVF wrap dress in tie-dye fabric, part of the welcome doll gift set. Imogen looks nice in it but it is nothing to write home about. The back and necklace stand out from her accessories as well as the evidence form.

The Mysterious Build-An-Accessory was revealed during dinner, pieces of which were scattered in the Style Lab boxes. As explained when this year's Style Lab was first announced, those who purchased the entire Style Lab collection received all the components to complete this special bonus mystery accessory. Once all of the "diamond-encrusted" components are collected, they look like a weird device, once assembled. What could this mean? The plot thickens!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prototypes shown throughout this email, final products may vary. These collectibles are meant for adult collectors ages 15 and up only.

Integrity Toys 2024 convention - Stilettos Out day 1: The convention collection and welcome doll

This year, Integrity Toys decided that it was about time they returned to an in-person convention, instead of the virtual online events they organized from 2020 onward, because of the pandemic. It sold out as is always the case with the IT events. They did a rehearsal last year with the Curated event (which was sold out as well but it left much to be desired in the organization department). So you can imagine that all club members, even the ones not attending, held their breath waiting for the event to start.

And then the unexpected happened: attendees received an email, about a week from the event, that the dolls for the convention had not arrived and would not be at the hotel, due to a combination of port workers three-day strike, the repeated hurricanes striking US east coast etc. Instead, attendees would have to make do with the prototype dolls on display, a QR code system to place their orders on-site. The dolls would ship to the attendees homes after the event and the company would supply gift cards as credit for the shipping costs. The furore of the club members was such (plus pointing out a clause in the terms and conditions of the convention ticket that specified free shipping in case the dolls were not delivered at the event), that IT had to change course and give real free shipping to all attendees. Of course those attending that come outside the US still have to pay taxes /custom duties when dolls are shipped to them instead of travelling back in their suitcase, and that is quite an extra cost to shoulder. The overall tone of the email did not help, as it was far from apologetic and more like “oops! we had an accident, no biggie”. The fact that the company waits until the very last week before an event to receive their merchandise for it shows poor planning. Even people like me, outside the US, knew about the hurricane season troubles, even the planned port workers strike. Also, since the pandemic, shipping keeps having serious problems with being on time (not that it did not have any before, but…), so it is always prudent to plan ahead of time. Anyway, let’s hope that all this will be seriously addressed at some point in the convention, directly from IT to their loyal, hard cash earned paying customers face to face.

So, on with the show - what is the Stilettos Out story all about? As per the club email:

Many highly sought-after, ultra-rare artefacts have disappeared all over the world and no one, not even the savviest, most fashionable detectives from the the SSB (Secret Style Bureau) and other covert agencies like FPI (Fashion Police International) have been able to figure out how these seemingly disconnected items are related! This year’s convention attendees were invited to participate in this intriguing mystery, tasked to help fictional true crime podcaster/blogger Donna Drake collect clues that will ultimately solve this decades-old cold case!

On the first day of the event, attendees arrived for registration (with early registration taking place on the previous day) and received their welcome bag, which included a mysterious dossier with some clues, and also learned they were getting a Welcome Gift Set, seeing the first part, the "Cryptic Cases" Imogen Lennox as Donna Drake doll, to be completed with more clothes and accessories during the event. The whole thing is part of the clue searching, as she’s the investigating agent all attendees must help uncover the mystery. Below, you can see the Welcome Gift Set doll as well as the Convention Collection dolls, available for attendees at the Souvenir Shop along with the NU. Face Seven Style Lab, which will be in the next article.

Item # 75033

Cryptic Cases

Imogen Lennox® As Donna Drake™ Gift Set

The NU. Fantasy™ Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Welcome Doll

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Imogen

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Hungarian

Hair Color: Dark Espresso

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Alain Tremblay

Imogen looks beautiful and must have been a welcome surprise to people registering for the convention, as there had been no mention of a welcome doll in the event communication. She does remind me of Be Daring Imogen 2016 club upgrade doll and also the Tropicalia 2012 convention had Imogen as a welcome gift set too! She looks quite basic now, let’s see what else she will acquire during the event to complete her set - and solve the mystery perhaps?

Item # 91558

Lethal Rose

Vanessa Perrin® Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Vanessa 1.0

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Sunkissed

Hair Color: Espresso Brunette

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Vanessa looks like an Old Hollywood screen siren here, like Ava Gardner or Jane Russel. Bombshell material! Her screening looks a bit off to me, as if she’s trying to imitate someone else - let’s say Natalia for example.The hairstyle contributes to that feeling as well.Love her opera glasses! The shoes, corsage and stiletto (this style of a dagger makes it a stiletto) could have been part of the Magia 2000 Vanessa, no?

Item # 82176

La Sombra

Alejandra Luna™ Dressed Doll

The NU. Face® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Alejandra

Body Type: NF 3.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Blush

Hair Color: Lunar Lavender

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Jessy Ayala

Alejandra is at her most daring here, with shaved brows and a very revealing sexy outfit. Unfortunately she looks like a Cold Carbon pale imitation (pun intended) and also channels a certain singer that I feel disgusted even thinking about, because of his abuse issues. Hard pass.

Item # 77260

Gold Season

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: FR Black

Hair Color: Dark Brown Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By David Buttry

Cute Poppy but looks like a mash up of previous releases: Take Midas Touch, give her the Lady Luck/Spice screening in matching colours and an outfit reminiscent of Gold Snap, shake well and presto! She looks gorgeous and the photo above kind of gives Diana Ross vibes during her Supremes era.

Item # 77261

Swiss Miss Behave

Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll

The Poppy Parker® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Poppy

Body Type: PP 1.5

Foot Sculpt: Articulated Ankle

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Silver Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By David Buttry

Poppy Parker plays Leia Organa in Star Wars: The Fashion Movie! Her braided hairstyle, apart from the famous film icon, reminds me of the Tokyo Twilight Poppy. She has the Spicy in Spain screening. Do you remember the Style Lab 2018 convention collection? It was named Miss behave and had a build-a-doll Poppy Parker doll as gift if you had all the collection bought (her pieces were hidden inside the other doll/outfit boxes). Her outfit is very 60s era space age looks, like the ones made by Courrèges and Cardin.

Item # 88086

Raven

Tate Tanaka™ Dressed Fashion Figure

The Tulabelle True & Co.™ Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Tate

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Fire Red

Designed By David Buttry

A new version of Tate Tanaka is always good news. When I first saw online photos of this guy from the convention (the prototype doll displayed there), I was instantly smitten. After a while though I noticed two things that made me go hmmm - his bland screening and his huge forehead. When you name a character Raven, you should go that little bit towards the goth connotations, no? Some eyeliner, a stronger brow. The suit is kind of tame, if you take out the boots and leather cummerbund, but I like its texture, like a deconstructed tweed.

Item # 73061

Agent Sugar North

Constance Madssen® Dressed Doll

The East 59th® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Convention Collection

Edition Size: 600

Head Sculpt: Constance

Body Type: E59 1.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Japan

Hair Color: Honey Blonde

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Chris Stoeckel

A lovely version of Constance, that somehow does not pass muster for a spy, even though she is holding a retro-futuristic gun and a finger cigarette holder. She’s more like a film noir heroine, who just murdered her cheating husband and is waiting for the sleuth protagonist to show up. I love the light blue stones of her jewellery set.

Item # 91561

Ritorno Alla Vita

Elyse Jolie™ as Elisa Bianchi™ Dressed Doll

The Fashion Royalty® Collection

Stilettos Out: An Integrity Toys Fashion Thriller

Salesroom Exclusive

Edition Size: 550

Head Sculpt: Elyse

Body Type: FR 6.0

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Skin Tone: Cream

Hair Color: Sandy Blonde Mix

Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied

Designed By Alain Tremblay

Who is the mysterious character embodied by Elyse? Do not google it, you’re in for a great laugh (or not, depending on your situation). Don;t they google the perspective names of characters before they trademark them? LOL. Anyway, she’s a gorgeous doll, with an amazing gown and quite an original screening for Elyse. it shows what you can do if you step, even just a bit, out of the so-called box. Great work Alain (he designed Imogen too). Having said that, she has very minimal accessories - and why aren’t the shoes photographed with the rest of them? She needed at least a bracelet and a ring.

Dolly Days 2024 - Day 4: A modular trunk system!

For Day 4 of Dolly-Days, and based on many collectors' requests, Integrity Toys introduced a new doll trunk, designed by Alain Tremblay to display and store dolls and their miniature fashion accessories and clothes. For this final Dolly-Days offer, because of the modular nature of this set, W Club members will have an unlimited priority pre-order window until Friday, February 9th at 3 PM Eastern Time and special W Club-only discounted pricing. This means that members can purchase as many of the trunk and the additional components sold separately as they wish.*

Item #15104

Modular Trunk System:

Base Unit

IT Direct Exclusive

Edition Size: MTO

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2024

Dimensions (Closed):

12.25" Wide X 16" High X 7" Deep

Dimensions (Open/Per Set):

25" Wide X 16" High X 7" Deep

Approximate Total Weight:

8.5 lbs / 3.9 kg

MSRP: $250 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $225 + S & H

($50 non-refundable deposit per trunk base unit due now and balance of $175 + shipping due once the sets ship later in 2024)

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with no membership limit. Once the trunk (and add-on components sold separately) arrive later in 2024, should quantities remain, they will be offered to the general public at the higher MSRP price.

The Story:

A long time in the making, Integrity Toys is proud to bring you a fun new modular trunk system that will allow you to combine multiple trunks together to create a full environment for your dolls and create the miniature walk-in closet of your dreams! Featuring special hinges that allow the two main sections of the trunk to unlatch, as well as individual inner components that can be pulled out and re-arranged in various ways (or combined with other components sold separately) to create a fully customizable experience, you'll be able to organize, store and display all those tiny, Integrity Toys fashion accessories, doll clothing and more in a way never before possible!

Included:

• Beautifully crafted two-part carry case featuring latch-hinges, faux-leather carry handle and "GENUINE INTEGRITY TOYS" plaque deco;

• One removable doll storage compartment;

• One removable standing doll scale standing mirror;

• One removable shoe/boot rack;

• One removable, basic shelving unit (perfect to store all those adorable luggage pieces, not included!);

• One removable closet component;

• 10 chrome-plated metal hangers;

• One removable two-door armoire;

• Certificate of authenticity.

What a lovely surprise! I started collecting FR just in time to miss the big Refresh and Renew Trunk released back in 2006, which retailed at $224.99 and always wanted one! This is smaller in size, but, as you can see below, one can connect multiple trunks to make a larger one, and also get extra modular units to customize the look and function of the interior of the trunk. My only worry is that the material used for the finish is pleather (per the liaisons reply to a member email, the trunk is made of high impact/strong card stock and  variety of synthetic materials. Covered with vinyl/pleather and finished inside with a custom embossed velvet material. \they also note that the original trunk was constructed in the same manner, cardstock covered with vinyl), which we all know is very volatile with time - but the old trunk was made of the same materials and I have never seen anyone complaining of damage to that one. I will order this one and some of the extra units, although I know the shipping cost will kill me. Having used lots of larger doll trunks for ages as storage units for their outfits and accessories (the Franklin Mint ones), I know it is very convenient for me and my collection to have trunks like this around. Maybe in time I can get a second one too. I only wish that it had the drawers instead of the cupboard in the base trunk, they are so much more useful. On a side note, the liaisons also confirmed that you can open it to form a straight line from one side to the other.

Item #15125

Modular Trunk System:

Light Up Cabinet Component

IT Direct Exclusive

Edition Size: MTO

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2024

Dimensions:

5.5" Wide X 9.5 " High X 3" Deep

Approximate Total Weight:

1.15 lbs / 0.52 kg

*Required 3X AA Batteries, Not Included.

MSRP: $60 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $50 + S & H

($10 non-refundable deposit per cabinet due now and balance of $40 + shipping due once the sets ship later in 2024)

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with no membership limit. Once the trunk (and add-on components sold separately) arrive later in 2024, should quantities remain, they will be offered to the general public at the higher MSRP price.

The Story:

Shine some light on your modular trunk system with this fun, light-up miniature curio cabinet! What a great way to display those beautiful jewelry pieces and other miniature Integrity Toys accessories! Bright LED driven, with a convenient on/off switch located at the inner back of the unit, which once integrated into your display, it will allow you to turn the lights on and off without pulling it out of the modular trunk (sold separately). The display possibilities are endless! Note: This is a new component and it is not included with the base unit, it is only sold separately.

Included:

• Base curio cabinet with two clear acrylic doors and miniature chrome handles;

• Four removable, transparent acrylic shelves;

• Built-in LED lighting (requires 3 AA batteries, not included);

• Certificate of authenticity.

This in an extra modular element that is actually a display case with light installed to show off the accessories you want to showcase. It looks amazing and will make a great element to add to the trunk.

Item #15126

Modular Trunk System:

6-Drawer Cabinet Component

IT Direct Exclusive

Edition Size: MTO

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2024

Dimensions:

11.5" Wide X 5.25" High X 3.5" Deep

Approximate Total Weight:

1.65 lbs / 0.75 kg

MSRP: $55 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $45 + S & H

($10 non-refundable deposit per component due now and balance of $35 + shipping due once the sets ship later in 2024)

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with no membership limit. Once the trunk (and add-on components sold separately) arrive later in 2024, should quantities remain, they will be offered to the general public at the higher MSRP price.

The Story:

So many little accessories, shirts, sweaters and items of doll clothing that are not really designed to be hanged, where to store them all? This high-quality 6 drawer chest component can be incorporated into the modular trunk system to create an elaborate cabinet to store and organize all those cherished, highly collectible pieces we all love so much in the neatest possible way! Note: This is a new component and it is not included with the base unit, it is only sold separately.

Included:

• Cabinet component;

• Six removable drawers with built-in chrome handles;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is the element I wish was included in the basic trunk, instead of the cupboard. Drawers are so much better to keep jewellery and very small items inside, instead of the cupboard.

Item #15127

Modular Trunk System:

Closet Component

IT Direct Exclusive

Edition Size: MTO

Expected Ship Date: Late Summer 2024

Dimensions (Closed):

5.5" Wide X 9.5 " High X 3" Deep

Approximate Total Weight:

0.6 lbs / 0.27 kg

MSRP: $55 + S & H

Special W Club Price: $45 + S & H

($10 non-refundable deposit per component due now and balance of $35 + shipping due once the sets ship later in 2024)

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with no membership limit. Once the trunk (and add-on components sold separately) arrive later in 2024, should quantities remain, they will be offered to the general public at the higher MSRP price.

The Story:

Your favorite Integrity Toys dolls and figures have an extensive wardrobe and we are all looking for cute ways to store and organize all those miniature couture pieces! This is your chance to add extra closet units to your modular trunk set to expand your doll clothing storage capacity! Each set includes 10 high-quality, miniature Integrity Toys doll hangers. Note: One closet and 10 hangers come included with each base unit, but we are also selling this component separately so that you can have more clothing storage space.

Included:

• Modular closet unit designed to fit inside the modular trunk set;

• 10 chrome-plated metal hangers;

• Certificate of authenticity.

This is good for storing more clothes on hangers. What I have not seen though is an extra element with space to hang long dresses and gowns or pants - the height of this unit does not look adequate for storing items like these. Also, another extra that would have been awesome to see: a vanity desk, stool and mirror. Maybe with functioning lights. Next time Alain? Please? And since I mentioned Alain, here is a video with him showing us the trunk.

**Reminders**

• No pre-order limit: Please note that there are no quantity limits on how many trunks and/or individual components that you would like to pre-order until approximately 3 PM Eastern on Friday, February 9th.

• Please note that the deposit payments for various components of this offer are non-refundable and non-transferable. If your deposit payment is not in by the set deadline, YOU WILL LOSE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRE-ORDER THESE ITEMS. If you don't complete the balance payment when it is due later in 2024, you will forfeit your non-refundable, non-transferable deposits.

• Oversized item: Please remember that the trunk is an oversized item and depending on your location, shipping may be more expensive, so please take that into consideration before pre-ordering. WE WILL NOT ALLOW REFUNDS OF THE DEPOSITS DUE TO UNANTICIPATED HIGH-SHIPPING COSTS.

• Canceling production should minimum quantities not be met: Because of the size and complexity of this item, should minimum production quantities not be met on the trunk itself and/or any of the components that are being offered separately, Integrity Toys reserves the right to cancel any or all components of this offer.

Dolly Days - Day Three: Power Workout Tenzin Dahkling Basic Edition

For Day Three of Dolly-Days, Integrity Toys unveiled a Basic Edition Tenzin Dahkling designed by Alain Tremblay and Vaughn Sawyers. A reminder that Basic Edition dolls tend to have a lower price point and a much larger edition size (which sometimes includes restocking*) that make them more accessible to the general public. That means they also come with minimal clothing and accessories.

W Club members will have a priority pre-order window (one per membership) until Friday, February 9th at 3 PM Eastern Time (should quantities remain) and special W Club-only discounted pricing. After the dolls arrive arrive at the IT Warehouse sometime in mid-to-late March, any remaining quantities will then be made available to the general public at the MSRP.

Item # 21027

Power Workout

Tenzin Dahkling™ Basic Fashion Figure

The Monarchs Homme™ Collection

Edition Size: 2500*

Expected Ship Date: Mid-to-Late March 2024

Head Sculpt: Tenzin

Body Type: Homme 1.5

Skin Tone: New Hispanic

Hair Color: Deep Brown

MSRP: $109 + S & H (available to non-members once the figures have shipped later in 2024, should quantities remain)

Special W Club Price: $99 + S & H

($25 non-refundable deposit due now and balance of $74 + shipping due once the figures ship later in 2024)

Sales method: First-come, first-served W Club priority pre-order window starting immediately with a limit of 1 figure per membership. Once the public sale begins later in 2024, should quantities remain, members will still be able to purchase extras with your special W Club pricing.

*Restocking will be evaluated dependent on demand.

The Story:

Celebrity trainer Tenzin Dahkling hit the gym in style to help train the top MMA star for his big championship fight! But when he starting posting his New Year's resolutions fitness tips on social media, it seemed like his posts got more likes for his style than his moves!

Included:

• 12.5" articulated fashion figure with rooted hair;

• Custom-made compression sport tights with built-in muscle-support strips and monogrammed logo waistband;

• Black training shoes;

• Permanent tattoo body deco;

• One golden hoop earring;

• Figure stand;

• Certificate of authenticity.

Finally a new Tenzin! I did not expect to see him as a basic edition, much less presented in Dolly Days. I like his face and shoes, and that’s about it. His tattoo is great, but I’d rather have it on his shoulder blade than on his pec. And don’t get me started on the hairstyle.

You can also check him out in the video below:

For W Club members - First-Come, First Served for Limited Time: Please note that these are limited to one figure per membership on a strict first-come, first-served basis until approximately 3 PM Eastern on Friday, February 9th, should quantities remain.

Poppy Parker Palm Springs Collection Part 2: The W Club / IT Direct sets

Back again to cover the remainder of the Poppy Parker in Palm Springs collection designed by David Buttry for Integrity Toys. I had to take some time off due to me finally catching covid - now I’m doing fine and we have some lovely things to see, so let’s get on with it! This post features the IT Direct items, either made to order or lottery: the Poppy Parker gift set, separate fashion set, and décor set. All items will be available come Spring 2023.

Item # 77241

Mix 'n Mingle

Fashion Set

Poppy Parker® In Palm Springs Collection

Edition Size: TBD (Made-to-order)

Expected Ship Date: Spring 2023

AVAILABLE ONLY FROM IT DIRECT

Fashion set only, no doll included.

Designed to fit Poppy Parker and similar 12-inch/ 1:6 scale fashion dolls.

MSRP: $89 + S & H

Special W Club Price*: $75 + S & H

The Story:

A "nighttime pool party" was all the invitation said! Poppy wondered if that meant she should be dressed for the pool, for a party, or for a more formal affair. Ever the ingenious gal, she decided to be ready for any of the three scenarios and still confidently mix 'n mingle as the hit of the party!

Included:

Sleeveless bodysuit with golden beading at the neckline;

Matching multi-layered, frilly skirt;

Flowing, aqua-blue chiffon cover-up maxi skirt;

Golden chrome "leather" clutch purse;

Long drop earrings with inset "crystals";

Double strand chain bracelet;

Oversized "gold" flower power ring;

Bejeweled magnetized sarong clasp with "gold", "pearl" and cloisonné flower accents;

Golden chrome cat-eyed sunglasses;

Certificate of authenticity.

I am totally not feeling this. either as a Poppy Parker or a Palm Springs fashion set. All the pieces give off a Barbie 80s vibe instead of late 60s - early 70s desert chic. The flouncy mini skirt in particular looks like she has a scrunchie around her hips. Missed opportunity to give us that white lace top and pants combo we see in most of Aaron Slim’s photos of the pool crowd in Palm Springs. I am worried that if this will not sell (thankfully it is made to order), we will not see another stand alone fashion set for ages. But seriously, I do not want fashion sets to be like this. I expect more stylish and nuanced fashion, not Barbie leftovers.

Item # 15103

Poppy Parker® Palm Springs Decor Set

Poppy Parker® In Palm Springs Collection

Edition Size: TBD (Made-to-order)

Expected Ship Date: Spring 2023

It has been a while since we got furniture, but not as long as Alain tried to make it sound like in the presentation - it was almost as if we never got another chair since the Barcelona imitations back in 2004! The plastic imitating wood reminds me a lot of Playmobil sets. I love the design and the complete package looks great alongside Poppy (and not only the Palm Spring ones) - even the lamp lights up. So I did pre-order one set - it will go nicely along both the Panton chairs from Dynamite Girls that are actually contemporary to Poppy (it first came out in 1959) and the Arnio Ball Chair (1965) we got with the Swinging London collection. More please.

A reminder that, due to shipping restrictions, batteries for the lamp are not included with the set.

This is the pièce de résistance of the entire Palm Springs collection. Two gorgeous Poppy dolls, in Nubian skin tone for the first time, dressed in magnificent colourful clothes, with beautiful and stylish accessories, that are sure to be the grail of many a Poppy doll collector in the years to come. Too bad this is a lottery, instead of a made to order release, like the rest of the IT exclusive stuff. I’d rather have this than any Alice in Wonderland club doll Poppies anytime. The main inspiration for David was the 4 covers of British Vogue back in April 2021, with their bold colours and hairstyles on African-American models (he even mimicked the two different coloured earrings styling, while giving us two sets of earrings as accessories). And he managed to make it look era appropriate too, unlike the fashion set. There will be a body completer set available to purchase optionally, for those that want to have two separate dolls (who doesn’t?). I love how the two versions have differently coloured faces, one with bolder colours, the other more neutral. And the afro looks amazing on her. The huge braid looks plain in comparison and could have been, to make this even more perfect, a slightly more elaborate era-appropriate hairstyle. Will definitely enter the lottery for this, although I’d rather this was made to order.
