TEDDY VONRANSON X Integrity Toys is a new collaboration for this year's Monarch collection!

Another long awaited collection from Integrity Toys was the Monarchs. Lots of collectors kept asking about new guy dolls (IT should stop using the term fashion figure, no one but them is using it, stop beating a dead horse - it was stillborn). As they unveiled the new presentation (which had to restart a couple of times due to glitches), W Club members discovered a new capsule collection, created exclusively by menswear designer Teddy von Ranson for the TEDDY VONRANSON X Integrity Toys Collaboration. It consists of four dolls, three guys and a lady (a first for Monarchs), and all dolls are sold via lottery to the W Club.

So who is Teddy Von Ranson? I had never heard of him before this presentation. Here is what Integrity tells us about him:

Teddy von Ranson is known for dressing men of style, from fashionistas to celebrities, for the red carpet, TV, stage and every day, including Austin Butler, Usher, Travis Kelce, Sebastian Stan, Ethan Hawke and Lewis Hamilton, among others.

Born in Canada and nurtured in an environment steeped in cultural sophistication, Teddy’s aesthetic sensibilities were further honed in California, at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. Yet, it was New York City that truly became the crucible for his creative vision. Ascending to the role of lead designer at Ralph Lauren, and later, steering the helm as Creative Director at the Frye Group, Teddy’s career arc exemplifies an extraordinary blend of innovation and tradition.

The recognition of his work by the fashion industry, including an interim membership in the CFDA, the FGI Rising Star Award, and a nomination for American Menswear Designer of the Year, underscores the impact of his vision. The invitation to debut at Piti Uomo’s Special Projects in Florence is not just a personal milestone but a moment of validation for American fashion itself. In the designs of Teddy von Ranson, American fashion finds its voice, one that speaks to a world looking for authenticity in an age of transient trends.

I’m very into fashion and try to stay ahead of trends and styles and new talent in the field and I have not stumbled upon the name Teddy Von Ransom ever. His brand is not even in the Vogue Runway designers list (which can feature you for a fee). Seeing his sketches and human clothing photos (models and celebrities) before the doll reveal, I can see nice clothing but very conservative in style and materials. It is quite american and I can see the RL influence up to a point. While I like most of what you will see below (and entered the lottery for two dolls), I do think that this is not the ideal direction we need for the Monarchs - instead we should have seen something closer to what Pyer Moss, Willie Chavarria, Haider Ackermann or Antony Vaccarello do with menswear. I am not saying they could get a collaboration of that caliber - just that there are so many designers (female and male) of colour that could give more fashion to the mix. We have seen similar stuff during the first years of the Hommes collections. But that was 21 years ago. And when a white guy tells you that freckles is diversity, something is very wrong.

The Story:

In the coolest corner of Manhattan, Darius Reid makes music perfectly in tune with NYC’s energy. His studio was a place that embodied both beats and affairs of the heart. That’s where he first noticed high-powered executive Jaeme Costas. There was a magnetic tension every time they met- her intellect meeting his soulful depth. Darius couldn’t help but think that while they were on the same frequency, they might be tuned differently.

Darius always admired the way Jaeme commanded rooms with a mix of authority and grace. But beneath his confident exterior, he wondered if she saw him as anything more than a creative escape from the pressures of her world. Their conversations were always filled with possibility, but they never crossed the line.

When he saw Jaeme enter a gallery opening with Auden Adler, one of his main business rivals, Darius realized that things in Manhattan were more complicated than he thought. There was a dance going on between hearts, and he was not the only one trying to lead.

About Darius' Style:

Darius Reid is the kind of man who doesn’t need to dress loudly to command attention. His casual chic look reflects his passion and confident creativity. His TEDDY VONRANSON picks always walk the line between polish and play-relaxed looks with sharp edges, neutral tones offset by subtle texture, and outerwear that says, I’m important, but not trying too hard. Jaeme once told him he looked like a magazine spread come to life. He didn’t reply, he just smirked... Because he knew she was right.

Manhattan_State_Of_Mind_Darius_Reid_doll

Included:

  • 12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair, and for the first time on a fashion figure, hand-applied eyelashes!

  • Smart layered look comprised of a striped button down TVR signature shirt and pleated slacks;

  • Flight jacket with "fur" collar;

  • Removable belt;

Manhattan_State_Of_Mind_Darius_Reid_doll

The only coloured doll in the collection (should we be grateful we got at least one?), Darius hits the ball out of the park right away. His outfit brings to mind a combination of Pier De Vries Thrill Seeker and Rock Ringmaster Lukas Maverick. What Von Ranson does really well is combine textures and details on the outfits. And that face... Using eyelashes on male dolls was always a no-brainer for me (men can have thicker and longer eyelashes than many women using mascara), and here it shows how great it looks. I entered for him right away. I must say that having the whole collection in shades of brown (with one exception in charcoal) is not to my liking that much, but it works and makes it more cohesive if also more conservative. He’s also the only guy without a pair of glasses. Why?

Brooklyn_Bound_Auden_Adler_doll

The Story:

Auden Adler's empire was built in Brooklyn with precision as sharp his tailored suits. When Jaeme Costas reentered his life, it was like the stock market opening after a long night... Full of promise but totally unpredictable. He wasn’t used to uncertainty and there was something in Jaeme's intensity that intrigued him, but escaped his control.

Their "situationship" was a whirlwind of dinners beneath the city lights, deals made over expensive whiskey, and stolen moments between boardrooms. He admired Jaeme’s fearless drive but couldn't shake the feeling that maybe her heart wandered beyond their little world. Still, Auden clung to the hope that they had a future.

One night, Auden caught a glimpse of Jaeme with Noah Faraday, a travel editor who moved with an effortless quality that Auden couldn’t match. The boundaries of New York city were getting a bit blurred. Auden started to think that winning Jaeme’s heart would require more than just power.

About Auden's Style:

Auden Adler is Wall Street precision with just a hint of old soul. His sleek, polished business style is a love letter to structured, slim-fit suits, always tailored to perfection, that match his every mood. TEDDY VONRANSON’s modern tailoring fits his vibe exactly: minimal but rich in detail, contemporary and powerful. Nothing in Auden’s closet is accidental. He believes clothing is language, and he speaks that language fluently with confidence and control. Auden was dressed to impress Jaeme, but given her wide array of interests, he was taking a "calculated" risk.

Brooklyn_Bound_Auden_Adler_doll

Included:

  • 12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair, and for the first time on a fashion figure, hand-applied eyelashes!

  • Sleek layered look comprised of a charcoal single-breasted suit jacket and pants;

  • Thin gauge V-neck merino sweater;

  • Lacquered herringbone overcoat;

  • Removable belt;

  • Detachable pocket chain;

  • Small clutch bag;

  • Black skater sneakers;

  • Black sunglasses;

  • Pair of micro-hoop earrings;

  • Single stud earring;

  • "Silver" watch accessory;

  • Cuff bracelets;

  • "Silver" double layered chain necklace;

  • Pair of regular Homme hands;

  • Alternate pair of Homme grip hands (not shown);

  • Alternate pair of Homme gloved hands;

  • Figure stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Brooklyn_Bound_Auden_Adler_doll

I love most Auden versions and this one is no exception, but for quite a particular reason: he looks so much like Tom Sturridge playing Sandman on Netflix. People who know me know that The Sandman is my all time favourite comic. I also bought, ages ago, a Japanese blank doll with blue hair to turn into Sandman (but never got into it - got another to make Death as well). So now seeing Auden styled and dressed like this… my heart skipped a bit. If I mess a bit with his hair, he’ll be Morpheus in doll form. His outfit looks really cool, especially the coat with the lacquered herringbone fabric, which, combined with his merino sweater, elevate the otherwise classic suit. Needless to say I entered for this one as well. And here I must note that the price for each of the dolls is the same as for the FR collection, when usually the Monarchs were a bit pricier in the past. Last minute thought: When he was part of the Dynamite Girls, he was in a collection named Back To Brooklyn.

Back_To_New_York_Noah_Faraday_doll

The Story:

Noah Faraday returned to New York with stories from all around the world. But it was the story he left behind that pulled at him the most. The city felt different now-- less like home and more like a memory. Seeing Jaeme again had the feeling of something familiar, yet was tinged with new meaning.

Their reunion happened quietly, without any fanfare, over lattes in a dim café with laughter that was both distant and intimate. Noah was aware of the other men orbiting her in his absence: Darius with his intensity and Auden with his calculated charm. But Noah offered something simpler, a chance to be in the present, unburdened by ambition or expectation.

Still, Noah knew he was the under dog-- the one who came back too late. As they parted, he wondered if Jaeme's story would ultimately include him?

About Noah's Style:

Noah Faraday’s style is laid-back but unmistakably sharp. An offbeat blend of ease and edge that feels uniquely his. He layers a short-sleeve camp shirt under a faux nubuck blazer, soft to the touch but structured enough to feel intentional. His baggy denim Bermuda shorts give his look that cool downtown nonchalance, the kind that makes rules feel optional. Over it all, he throws on a signature TEDDY VONRANSON walking coat, long, clean-lined, and just dramatic enough to make people pause. Jaeme loved to tease him, and often reminds him that he looked like a man who got dressed for the day without checking the forecast, but somehow always ended up perfect for the weather... And every time he just shrugged, that’s the whole point.

Back_To_New_York_Noah_Faraday_doll

Included:

  • 12.75-inch articulated fashion figure with rooted hair, and for the first time on a fashion figure, hand-applied eyelashes!

  • Effortlessly cool layered look, comprised of a casual short-sleeve camp shirt and below-the-knee carpenter-style Bermuda shorts;

  • Bonus! Includes a pair of additional denim slacks;

  • Faux nubuck blazer;

  • Signature TVR walking coat;

  • Black "leather" bucket hat;

  • Detachable pocket chain;

  • Small cross-body camera bag;

  • "Python" textured skater sneakers;

  • Black socks;

  • Faux tortoise shell aviator sunglasses;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Back_To_New_York_Noah_Faraday_doll

Noah of course is known by lots of other names, as he had many past lives before becoming one of the Monarchs: Ace McFly, Riot, Rory Llewelyn, Craig Phillips. He’s looking great here, thanks in most part to the eyelashes making his eyes so interesting. His outfit has lots of pieces and accessories, but I am not very fond of boho chic, especially when it looks more chic than boho. What you can only see in the accessories photo is the extra pair of pants that was added at the last minute - the length of those shorts is ridiculous: covering the knee, also known as the Chanel length. Come to think of it, imagine him in a Chanel jacket. Love his pleather bucket hat (until the moment it rots to oblivion) and all his accessories: bag, shoes, jewellery and the best pair of sunglasses in the collection. Socks should have been a bit higher - you either wear them mid-calf or make them disappear. And just noticed that there is no ring on any of the guys, despite lots of earrings and necklaces and bracelets.

About_A_Boy_Jaeme_Costas_doll

The Story:

Jaeme Costas built her career on decisiveness and strength. But when it came to her heart, it was utter chaos, a realm where passion, ambition, and vulnerability clashed. Darius brought unpredictability and creativity to the table, sparking her longing for something untamed. Auden represented stability, he was a fortress of power and promise. And Noah... well, he embodied freedom and the promise of exotic travels to faraway lands like the breath she couldn’t quite catch but desperately wanted.

Jaeme was torn between the completely different worlds these men represented and the person she was becoming. In meetings and boardrooms, she wore armor; in quiet moments, she let her guard down to imagine what love might look like. But the truth was, she didn’t want to choose just yet, not only between men, but also between dreams.

As she stood at the crossroads of Manhattan’s lights and Brooklyn’s shadows, Jaeme knew that her story was hers alone to write. Whatever the future held, Jaeme Costas was ready to own it... On her terms.

About Jaeme's Style:

Jaeme Costas embodies classic business-wear, seamlessly blending masculine tailoring with effortless femininity. Her TEDDY VONRANSON wardrobe is built around power blazers with sculpted shoulders, impeccably tailored trousers in unexpected faux-leather textures that glide with quiet confidence, and soft, monochrome satin blouses that seem to melt into her skin. She rarely touches bright colors, favoring a palette of tan, bone, black, and wine, each look a study in calculated elegance. Tailoring is her native tongue, and her silhouette commands attention long before she speaks. Her style isn’t about trends, it’s about presence. When Jaeme enters a room, people don’t just look... They pay respect!

About_A_Boy_Jaeme_Costas_doll

Included:

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

  • Chic layered look comprised of a long sleeve satin blouse and high-waisted faux-lambskin trousers with carpenter pockets and pinch-pleat detail at the back of the legs;

  • Plaid single breasted blazer;

About_A_Boy_Jaeme_Costas_doll

Much like Noah, Jaeme has a past as well: Jerrica Benton was her first incarnation, before becoming Jaeme for Color Infusion. Paradoxically she looks more cartoon-y here than all her previous versions - the eyes are way to big for the sculpt, reminding me a lot of Defa Lucy dolls. I do not know if that is a deliberate move on Integrity’s part but she looks weird, especially wearing very conservative business attire. This outfit shows Von Ranson’s Ralph Lauren past in a major way. She comes with two bags, which is great. We have seen similar boots before on Nu Face ladies and she has the same glasses as Noah. Also, her outfit reminds me a lot of the Tweed Intrigue Poppy Parker outfit.

Dolly Fridays 2: The TRUE™ Collection is unveiled - Industry reborn!

The 2nd Dolly Friday W Club presentation was about a full collection, the second one revealed this club year (after Poppy Parker’s Palm Springs), which could be a sign of things returning to a more regular pace after the disruptions experienced beginning in 2020. There were six dolls unveiled in total, from the brand new TRUE Collection, all created by IT designers David Buttry and Mark Tinkey. The line is a rebranding of Industry, with a bit of Dynamite Girls pizzaz thrown in. Two dolls are IT Direct lottery items, while the rest are available through official IT dealers. I like what David and Mark are doing here - the collection is cohesive and has a definite point of view, combining the various inspirations and influences in a strong and relatable manner. Some dolls tend to look cartoony, edging closer to Dynamite Girls than Industry, but that was to be expected. Let’s hope this iteration stays and does not need another revamp to sell.

We first saw Hollis in Style Lab and she was a popular sculpt, so here she is again as a TRUE character. She has a lovely face and nice make up, but the hair is very play-line. Her outfit is a mix and match of many disparate things that kind of work. Nice to see a different shape for sunglasses. She looks the most adult of the bunch. Hollis, like all the other female dolls of the collection, comes with two pair of feet, high heeled and articulated flat feet, even though they have only one pair of shoes.

Big_Love_Tulabelle_True_doll_

This is the first time that Tulabelle appears in a darker skin tone, at least in this sculpt version. I still cannot bring myself to like this sculpt - even though her resemblance to Ginger is stronger. The styling is very Gucci by Alessandro Michele and also has some Twiggy vibes. Awesome combination of colours throughout - and I love the miniature corduroy fabric. The boots are for the articulated flat feet she comes with, but of course one can use the high heeled feet to let her wear other styles.

Probably one of the best versions of this sculpt, Liu Liu looks fantastic here - especially her colourful outfit. It consists of various items that work well together but also will work great in other outfits. I love the quirky hat (fox pin included) - it transforms the whole ensemble. The shoes and earrings are also great accessories and will be easily worked in other outfits. Love the printed bag too - David said it is a custom print, as pretty much all of the prints of this collection. Her face is a bit cartoony with this screening, reminding me a lot of Mulan dolls, but that might also be part of her appeal.

Tate is usually the most popular doll in any collection he’s part of, and this one is no exception. He has a fully flocked head here and it is his first with a darker skin tone- each of his previous iterations had pale skin. His outfit is awesome - the plaid shirt looks a lot like the famous Alicia Silverstone Clueless outfit (and Salvador Arriaga staple) and matches with a gorgeous teddy bear backpack! Awesomeness! Furry bucket hat, multicoloured sneakers, necklace, glasses and watch complete the layered look. The whole look has value for money and I wonder why we cannot have this combination of price/clothing items + accessories in other lines. I’m happy that I managed to be confirmed for him.

The Story:

Socialite Jasper Jagger has done a lot in a very short amount of time. From being a part of her family’s media empire to creating her own popular cosmetic line at 20, this has all made her a known social media darling. She and Tulabelle are very close but have also been known to have their very public disagreements but no matter what, she’s been there for her bestie… for the most part.

Included:

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

  • Colorful camo print bubble dress with drawstring detail and matching panties;

  • Knee high buckled platform boots with back zipper;

  • Rhinestone choker;

  • Pink painted hoop earrings;

  • Sunglasses;

  • Pair of long manicured hands;

  • Alternate pair of high-heeled lower legs;

  • Doll stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity.

Hurts_Like_Heaven_Jasper_Jagger_doll_

Contrary to many collectors, I never liked Jasper. I find the sculpt not only cartoony but also weird looking. This version does not change that. She does have a gorgeous outfit though: a fantastic hooded anorak (that I would wear myself), a beautiful bubble hemmed dress over a printed aqua t-shirt, platform gladiator boots and great jewellery (including a scull ring). I hope to be able to find that anorak at one point.

The Story:

Auden Adler is a fixture at fashion shows every season. Starting off as a top fashion blogger, known for his exceptional good looks, and whip smart writing style, he’s now known for being one of the most influential fashion writers in the business. Not bad for someone who was once only known as the “Most Beautiful Boy”.

Included:

  • 12.5-inch articulated figure with rooted hair;

  • Custom knit striped sweater;

  • Distressed green jeans;

  • Brown corduroy jacket;

  • Printed tote bag;

  • "Leather" Oxford shoes;

  • Ash grey socks;

  • Gold-tone chain necklace;

  • Heart finger ring;

  • Head scarf;

  • Sunglasses;

  • Pair of regular male hands;

  • Alternate pair of grip hands;

  • Figure stand;

  • Certificate of authenticity;

Auden was always one of the first dolls to sell out whenever Dynamite Girls dolls were unveiled. He returns here as an homage to the Warhol superstar actor Joe D’Alessandro, a very handsome guy that was part of the Warhol inner circle back in the late 60s and early 70s. He does indeed look like him in his prime, and the outfit channels early 70s hippie style transformed into modern dressing fare. For me, he was an instant reminder of a childhood comic figure, Blek Le Roc, an American hunter from the revolutionary era. I already have two gorgeous blonde Audens, so will skip this lottery. His sweater’s back is cyan (due to having an opening to facilitate his dressing). Love both the corduroy jacket (the scale is awesome) and the distressed effect on the pants.

Integrity Toys February 2014 release: Dynamite Girls - Love Revolution Collection

As was expected, February is the month that the first reveal from Integrity Toys took place, on the 12th. Members of the W Club had been duly notified about the date but, apart from some sneek peeks that kept everybody guessing, no other mention was made about which lines would be presented. A series of e-mails announced the new releases, so let's start seeing what's in store this years - for starters. First up was the Dynamite Girls™. This year's collection is composed of a mix of fan favorite characters and features the return of Susie, as well as the introduction of a brand new girl: Tooka (who has the Sookie sculpt). The collection is named Love Revolution. It is definitely 1970s inspired, particularly the centennial celebrations of that decade in the US, hence all the Americana references. Five dolls are part of the regular collection and one is a dealer exclusive. More details below.

Jett is a fully articulated 12" doll with rooted hair and eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. The details of the outfit are great and the accessories rock. Excellent value for money.


Item # 66094

Aria is a fully articulated 12" doll with rooted hair and eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. Again a great outfit (look at that pleating on the bust) and amazing accessories. I hope the hat is not plastic though.


Item # 66095
Natural Beauty Tooka™
Dressed Doll
Dynamite Girls™ "Love Revolution" Collection 
Limited Edition of 300 Dolls Worldwide
Approximate Ship Date: Early May 2014 
Suggested Retail Price: $70.00 US

Doll Tech Specs:

Hair Color: Raven
Eyelashes: Yes, Rooted


Tooka is a fully articulated 12" doll with rooted hair and eyelashes. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. She is a new character but uses the Sookie sculpt, re-incarnated as an African American. She looks great and ready to go for some serious groovy dancing! Her outfit and accessories though are not a match for the two previous ones, apart from the great denim jacket.


Item # 66096
All American Auden™
Dressed Fashion Figure
Dynamite Girls™ "Love Revolution" Collection
Limited Edition of 750 Dolls Worldwide
Approximate Ship Date: Early May 2014
Suggested Retail Price: $70.00 US
Available for Pre-order from Any Authorized Integrity Toys Dealer


Doll Tech Specs:
Body Type: Homme
Head Sculpt: Auden
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: FR White
Hair Color: Light Blond
Eyelashes: No


Auden is a fully articulated 12.5" fashion figure with rooted and flocked hair. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. Of course this character would not be missing from the line-up, as he is the top-favourite of every collector from this line. If I did not already have a blonde Auden, I would definitely try to get this one. Love the watch and shoes. He looks like Jean Paul-Gaultier dressed him! Which is perfectly good for me, but he does not give me a 70s vibe at all. *Note: The tattoo on Auden's right arm is permanently applied.


Item # 66097
Take It Easy Cruz™
Dressed Fashion Figure
Dynamite Girls™ "Love Revolution" Collection
Limited Edition of 750 Dolls Worldwide
Approximate Ship Date: Early May 2014
Suggested Retail Price: $70.00 US
Available for Pre-order from Any Authorized Integrity Toys Dealer


Doll Tech Specs:
Body Type: Homme
Head Sculpt: Auden
Quick Switch Feature: No
Skin Tone: Latino
Hair Color: Light Brown with dark blond streaks
Eyelashes: No


Cruz is a fully articulated 12.5" fashion figure with long, rooted hair. A doll stand is included. For adult collectors ages 14 and up. He defintely has the 70's vibe, with the hair, the sandals and the bicentennial t-shirt (it's short-sleeved). I love the plaid shirt with the red accents.
