Integrity Toys May 2015 release part 2: FR 16 collection

Last year the FR 16 line got a major revamp that paid of in an exciting way. Not only it had a new face/character in Hanne Erikson (that proved to be quite successful) but also got people interested again in the series after some ho-hum releases that did not quite live up to its status as Avantguard replacements. This year the dolls are again incredible and one of them takes the whole collection one step further. But more below. Vaughn Sawyer worked wonders with the collection and also said that they are trying out an kind-of-airbrushed effect on the eye-shadow. They look terrific. As last year, there is again one Anais, two Elsa Lin and two Hanne Erikson dolls.

Whereas Anais changed look completely, Elsa looks so much like last year's Hot Blooded doll - with a beehive. Yes she is gorgeous and yes I was this close in ordering her. But I already have her almost twin from last year so I did not. I love the outfit too. The doll has such a 60s elegant vibe. She could have made an appearance on Mad Men. Elsa Lin is a fully articulated 16-inch vinyl fashion doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

The second Elsa doll is quite different in her face paint from all the other Elsas but the outfit is like a rehashed version of the Hot Blooded one - same colour, asymmetry, fur detail. What a gorgeous face - and those eyes! Great accessories as well. Elsa Lin is a fully articulated 16-inch vinyl fashion doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.

Head Sculpt: Hanne

Firs time Hanne appears with this hair colour and she looks amazing. I think she looks like the big 16" sister of the last W Club doll of 2014, that gorgeous Rare Appearance Dania. The detail of the dress is amazing, with the lace cap sleeves and the lace back panel. The coat is magnificent as is the bag. Again I was really tempted to get her but her other version finally won me over, you will understand if you read below. Hanne Erickson is a fully articulated 16-inch vinyl fashion doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.


I think the kind-of -airbrush effect looks so well done here. The make up is incredible and kudos go to designer Jesse Ayala.

This is easily the best FR 16 doll ever released, reminding me so much of the Avantguards (but more refined) and also a tamed version of Sybarites. All elements combine to make one great doll, from the hair colour (which mixes silver and platinum) to the face paint to her outfit and accessories - although a ring is sorely missing for this price range. Well done Vaughn and Jesse. This is the one I am getting and I am so happy about it. Hanne Erickson is a fully articulated 16-inch vinyl fashion doll with fully rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 15 and up.


So what do you think of this FR 16 release? Tempted to finally enter the larger doll world? Let me know in the comments.

This is perfection! I love this doll and will pre-order her for sure. Gorgeous doll, great outfit and amazing accessories. I only wish her earrings were more detailed for the scale instead of simply beads on a chain.

Great looking doll but a sculpt I do not particularly like. I would love to have the outfit and accessories for my dolls though.

Elsa is seen here wearing her own version of the iconic look that first introduced Natalia Fatale to the world, Cosmetic Takeover.  Elsa Lin is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted hair and hand applied eyelashes. Her fiery Latin inspired look is composed of a lace and embroidery overlaid ruffled hem cocktail sheath, elegantly accessorized with a perfectly assorted faux-fox stole, a clutch purse and open-toe heels. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. 


Although this is my favourite sculpt of the FR16 line, I will not get this version of it as the doll looks like a Greek TV presenter whom I despise cause she represents all that is wrong in Greek TV today. She even thinks she's the Greek version of Oprah Winfrey and copies her show blatantly. So, although the doll is gorgeous, it is a pass for me.


Item # 78011
Hot Blooded Elsa Lin™
Dressed Doll 
The FR:16™ Collection
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls Worldwide
Approximate Ship Date: Early May 2014 
Suggested Retail Price: $175.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Quick Switch Feature: No 
Skin Tone: Japan 
Hair Color: Jet Black 
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied 


Elsa Lis wearing a rendition of one of FR's most memorable looks: Red Blooded Woman. Just like the original, Elsa's version of the dress is inspired by its trademarked laced-up look to create one of the sexiest, jaw dropping looks of the Fashion Royalty world. Elsa Lin is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl doll with rooted jet black hair and hand applied eyelashes. She is elegantly fitted in gorgeous red satin gown, which features an elaborate laced-up side slit and a dramatic off-shouldered neck line. The look is boldly accessorized by intricately designed "gold" oversize drop earrings, "gold" bracelets, a luscious deep red faux mink stole and open-toe strappy heels. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up.


If you are regular readers of the blog, you know I am a sucker for Asian dolls and this one is no exception. Finally an Elsa Lin I will call my own and have already pre-ordered. I have the original Red Blooded Woman Kyori and cannot wait to compare the similar outfits. Too bad this one does not have an iconic necklace like the snake included with the original. The earrings look great though. And there's a ring too (like all dolls of the line have, yes!). I think the team nailed it with this line and hope it proves so commercially as well. I also hope that the final dolls (these are prototypes after all) have better pained eyes than the photos show, because these do not have any white spots painted, making them look flat.




Item # 78012
Obsidian Culture Hanne Erikson™
Dressed Doll
The FR:16™ Collection
Couture Dolls Exclusive
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls Worldwide 
Approximate Ship Date: Early May 2014
Suggested Retail Price: $175.00 US
Available for Pre-order ONLY FROM COUTUREDOLLS.COM (please see instructions below). 


Doll Tech Specs:
Body Type: FR16
Head Sculpt: Hanne 
Quick Switch Feature: No 
Skin Tone: FR White 
Rooted Hair Color: Sunblazed Red 
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand Applied 


Hanne is wearing a rendition of the fan favorite Fashion Royalty doll, Obsidian Society. Hanne is a 16-inch fully articulated vinyl fashion doll with rooted hair and delicately hand applied eyelashes. She is dressed in a perfectly tailored skirt suit with vibrant, high contrast embroideries covering the sleeves and collar. Hanne accessorized the look with an elegant pair of fur trimmed pleather gloves, the perfect little bowling bag, intricate strappy heels and a black veil for that added touch of drama. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. 


This is the Couture Dolls exclusive FR16 (the Angelic Dreams new eshop dedicated to Integrity Toys dolls - the group image on top is from their website). Although I love the sculpt, I do not like the doll. Her hair is fried and the embroidery is tacky, making the suit nothing like the original fashion it was supposedly inspired from. Androgyny Avant Guard doll looked more like Obsidian Society than this doll ever will. Great accessories though.
